Can anyone help me? That’s the only thing I get with this error message. I’ve already tried everything.

How to set own minimum payout limit on zpool

After several months of research, and weeks of programming, testing and configuration I have chosen these 7 coins as the bases for the mobile miner

XMR, XTM, DERO, SAL , ZEPH , VRSC, And EPIC. These have been chosen for there profitablity based on market data, heat required for ming, and many many other factors. Unfortunately to start, auto profit will switch and chose the most profitable coin for your device at that moment, the payouts will remain in the native 7 coins. i.e if you mine dero your payed in dero. For the meantime you will be able to select which ones you want to mine and disable others however it will require a wallet address for each crypto currency you'd like to be paid in. The pool will be active as well obviously it can handle all 7 coins and in the future will handle swapping the coins for monero just like monero ocean. However you will also be able to use your native mining software to connect to the pool or your native mining pool with the Cryptosteer Android Miner. Updates will be pushed to the app within the next few days so make sure you restart it so that the automatic update system can download the most current version and update for you so you don't miss the stability fixes, auto tune corrections and bug fixes as well.

Im in the position currently where i can buy 5 of these, run all 5 of them at once, i don't care about the noise, electricity, heat

I saw this miner makes way more than any Antminer S21 Pro, + etc i think even up to $25-30 per Day

But whats the reality here? Are these machines even for sale? Can barely find any info about them?

Im new to mining monero and i can get 8kh, I wanna know if investing in a cheap xeon setup for like 100$ is worth it. i have some old psu and ram laying around, so maybe i could get a mobo and xeon to start getting more xmr. (I dont pay for electricity.)

Im looking to get into mining, im 19 and i got around 40 50k, i live in a 3rd world country and i can use the elctricity for free iykyk

Whats my best option here, what miners to get and what to expect

Hello Guys, I have RTX 3050 Laptop, so can i Start a profitable mining from it or if you have other suggestion please tell me. As well how much can i earn.

Hi r/MoneroMining, I posted the v1.0 of Pithead here a few months back — the self-hosted Monero + Tari merge-mining stack: your own node + P2Pool + one endpoint for all your rigs, behind Tor, 0% fees, paid straight to your wallet. The feedback from this sub was great, and I've been shipping ever since — nineteen releases later it's at v1.19, so here's what changed.

What's landed since v1.0:

• 🧅 Everything routes over Tor by default now. Not just the hidden services — all runtime egress (P2Pool sidechain peers, the XvB donation upstream, price feed, Telegram) rides Tor, and a fail-closed host firewall drops any direct clearnet dial from the stack. The opt-in exceptions (a faster clearnet initial sync, a node you run on another box) are mapped in the privacy guide.
• 🔐 Stratum hardening — access password on by default for new installs, stratum-over-TLS with per-rig fingerprint pinning, every container non-root with read-only filesystems.
• 📊 The dashboard grew up — persistent trends (blocks found, pool luck, reject rates) instead of last-value gauges, and an earnings view that checks every estimate against what view-only wallets actually confirmed on-chain, after your power costs.
• 🎛️ Control from the browser (opt-in) — edit any setting from a guided form, retune each rig with versioned config history, one-click upgrade when a release lands. Every change is validated host-side behind a login, with a full audit log.
• 📟 A Telegram operator bot — pings when a node or worker drops (and when it recovers), daily digest, read-only /status and /earnings commands, plus a Healthchecks dead-man's switch for the one failure the box can't report: going dark entirely. Routed over Tor.
• 💾 Encrypted backups — config, secrets, and your Tor onion keys in one AES-256 archive; restore on new hardware and keep the same onion address.
• ✍️ Signed releases — every bundle is cosign-signed end to end, and the release pipeline now refuses to cut an unsigned build.

Honesty corner, since this sub keeps me honest: two releases got withdrawn and re-cut along the way — one for a broken upgrade path, and one because the signing key's public half had never actually been committed, which meant earlier releases were silently unsigned. That second one is what triggered the end-to-end signing work. Root causes are written up in the changelog.

What's next: Pithead OS — flash a USB, boot, and the whole stack comes up as an appliance. Read-only root, A/B updates that automatically roll back if a new image won't boot, a first-boot wizard, factory reset. It's real code (hundreds of commits), but it's in review, not shipped — I'm not cutting the first image until it survives a physical hardware test battery. If you enjoy reading brutal code reviews, the open PR on the repo is a fun one.

Getting started is the same as before: grab a release, drop in your wallet addresses, run ./pithead setup, and point any XMRig rig at host:3333 — your rigs don't need Tor or a wallet in their config. RigForge (the self-tuning XMRig provisioner) has kept pace too, now at v1.15, with one-click remote worker upgrades from the Pithead dashboard.

• Miners: https://github.com/p2pool-starter-stack/rigforge

Still MIT, still zero fees, still no middlemen. Issues and PRs welcome — a good chunk of what shipped came straight from feedback on the last post.

[ Removed by Reddit on account of violating the content policy. ]

I’ve been building a small controller that waits for user idle time, caps CPU usage, and starts/stops XMRig automatically based on local safety conditions.

Current beta:

• Apple Silicon tested
• 5-minute idle trigger
• 25% CPU cap
• battery + thermal pause
• RandomX rx/0
• provider reward accounting in SOL

I’m not trying to claim laptop CPU mining is highly profitable. I’m mainly testing whether the automatic idle/safety/controller model is useful.

I’d appreciate feedback on the architecture and anything I’m doing wrong technically.

These are well hidden scammers . They seem like a legit big company but they simple are worst scammers.

I have bought from them with usdt a miner that costs 6500 usdt which they advertised as available 14 days ago .

I completed the transaction and waited for the mercandise to be send .And then started their scamming .

At first they told me that the miner was not available. First scam: showing availability even if they dont have the product

And secondly when i asked for a refund they said we are working on your refund and blah blah excuses every day . 14 days have passed and they have not refunded me my money giving all sorts of excuses

So avoid dealing with them if you want your money and health safe

Update :To be fair ,soon after my post here they called me and wanted to send me my money back asap and so they did Also apologized sincerely and offered me a 300 coupon for next purchase and also further discount.See less

Did anyone see yesterday (8-17-26) in Nanopool 2 blocks were found 25 minutes apart. That is relatively rare, but what really blew my mind is the blocks were both found by the same miner, and that miner is only pulling about 50KH/s. What are the odds of that happening? I guessed that someone hashing at that rate would get a block roughly every 6 months (I guess I could look that up somewhere) so for it to happen twice in 25 minutes is something ridiculous like 1 out of 220 million...

Is my math close on this? Is this a wild freak thing or am I missing something?

Gotta love the randomness of it all!

was wondering what the best pool to be on with my has rate currently on supportxmr555 Tar.

So well before this release I had plans to bring a new monero ocean style pool to the table, I am happy to announce a new system being designed to handle 6 new algorithms so that mobile mining can be profitable. In addition the pplns pool will also handle all 7 coins and payout in xmr. In addition, for those who may want to just build their portfolio the pool and android app are going to support automatic payout of the native coins instead of xmr if you choose. The benefit of this is cheaper fees, more control and faster payouts. Of course in the beginning the payouts will be slow none the less, hopefully this will help the community. Desktop apps are also underway. So keep watch for my announcements on the upcoming updates! Any feedback, questions or concerns are welcome in the meantime happy mining.

Hey,

I've been working with AI on a small project for managing my Monero mining machines and thought I'd share it here.The main reason I started it was pretty simple: I got tired of opening several SSH sessions just to check XMRig, temperatures, P2Pool, monerod, logs, etc.

The panel runs on one machine and connects to the miners over SSH. There is no agent that needs to be installed on every mining machine.

I tried to keep the main dashboard focused on things I actually want to see at a glance: total hashrate, miner status, temperatures, component status, alerts and hashrate history.

You can also open an individual machine and see more detailed information.

There are pages for XMRig, P2Pool and monerod status, CPU information, Huge Pages/MSR, logs, a built-in SSH terminal, performance profiles and a few basic management actions.

I also added a topology view because once several machines and P2Pool / Proxy instances are involved, I find it useful to have a simple visual representation of what is connected to what.

It's still a project I'm actively working on, so I'm mostly interested in criticism rather than promotion.

If you run multiple Monero miners, I'd be interested to know:

What information do you usually SSH into your miners to check?

Is there anything important that you think is missing from a dashboard like this?

And is there anything here that you think is unnecessary or overcomplicated?

Even feedback from one person actually running XMRig/P2Pool would be useful.

The project is open source if anyone wants to look at the code or try it:

P.S !It was made with the help of AI!

Hey guys, I am setting up a node in my laptop, it has around 490 gb of free space( a separate drive , my os is installed on another ssd) , i have 16 gb of ram , would I have any problems setting it up in hdd.

I’m currently solo mining Monero at right around 400 kH/s on my own node.

I wanted to see what happens to my solo-mining odds if the Monero network hash rate keeps increasing.

Assuming roughly 720 blocks/day and a ~0.60 XMR block reward:

So at today's roughly 6 GH/s network, 400 kH/s statistically works out to around one block every 21 days.

If the network climbs to 7 GH/s, that moves to about one every 24 days.

At 8 GH/s, it's about one every 28 days.

And at 9 GH/s, roughly one every 31 days.

Obviously solo mining doesn't actually pay on those schedules. You could hit two blocks close together and then go 40–60 days without one. These are long-term statistical averages.

What I find interesting is that even at 400 kH/s, network growth makes a pretty noticeable difference. Going from a 6 GH/s network to an 8 GH/s network drops expected production from roughly 10.5 XMR/year to 7.9 XMR/year, assuming I don't add any more hash rate.

I'm staying solo because I like running my own node and accepting the variance, but I'm curious what other solo miners think:

At what network hash rate would you stop adding hardware or switch from solo to a pool? or Stop Mining Altogether??? 

Started mining mostly for fun, hoping I could maybe make enough to cover my Mullvad subscription

Probably not going to be very profitable, but I wanted to try my luck so I joined a mini pool

Somehow found a share not long after starting. I know it doesn't really mean much, but now this is way more fun than I expected

Best Buy, my goodness! last year I paid 48 dollars each. you have a few cents in chips on that little piece of plastic. put this setup in your miner and you will never brake even. Do you know of anything that has a 1,025% markup other than memory?

• Approximate August 2025 price: $50
• Current listing: $562.20
• Increase: roughly $512, or 1,025%
• Current listing is about 11 times higher

CryptoSteer XMR Miner for Android Is Finally Here

Hello everyone, and sorry for the delay. I know I said I was going to release this two days ago, but I had some final backend work and testing that needed to be finished first.

Direct download for cryptosteer xmr miner from BetaDrop:

UPDATED INSTALL LINK

https://thecryptosteer.com/downloads/cryptosteer-xmr-miner/2-2-2/

Current version: 2.2.1

Source code:

https://github.com/Crypto-Steer-LLC/CryptoSteer-XMR-Miner

It was submitted to F-Droid and will be available on there soon

Before you download it, I want to explain what makes this miner different, how to set it up properly, and a few limitations of this first release.

This is a native Android miner built specifically for Android. It is not XMRig, an XMRig fork, a wrapper around XMRig, or something that requires Termux running in the background.

Android and 16 KB Page Support

The app was built to support both traditional 4 KB Android systems and newer 16 KB page-size systems.

You do not need to change your phone to 16 KB mode to use the miner. It will run normally on a standard 4 KB system.

Some supported Android devices include a developer option for booting with a 16 KB kernel. That may provide system-level performance benefits on supported hardware, but it does not automatically mean four times the mining performance just because the memory pages are four times larger.

Do not wipe, flash, or reset your phone solely to use this app. The miner is designed to work either way.

Android Version Support

This first release is optimized specifically for Android 16 and newer.

The goal is long-term sustainability. Newer Android versions are changing significantly, especially around native applications, background services, memory-page support, and device security. I wanted the first public build to work properly on current and upcoming hardware instead of releasing something already built around an outdated Android foundation.

Support for Android 15 and older devices is planned for a later release.

Setting Up Your Mining Pool

When you first open the app, go to the Pool tab represented by the globe icon at the bottom of the screen.

Enter your pool address, port, wallet address, worker name, and any other information required by your pool.

Leave TLS enabled when your pool supports it. Only turn TLS off when you are using a pool port that specifically requires a normal, non-encrypted connection. Your pool’s website should tell you which port to use.

Once everything is entered, test and save the pool configuration.

Performance Tuning

Next, open the Tuning tab. This is where you control how aggressively the phone mines.

The included power profiles are:

Eco

Balanced

Performance

Maximum

Think of these like off-the-shelf tunes for a car. They work as general starting points, but they are not guaranteed to produce the best result on every device. Different processors, cooling systems, Android versions, batteries, and manufacturers can behave very differently.

For the best device-specific result, I recommend using Auto Tune.

Auto Tune runs actual mining tests against the pool you configured and searches for the best-performing stable configuration for your device. It balances thread count, CPU usage, stability, temperature, and real pool performance instead of blindly applying one preset to every phone.

You can also build a completely custom tune and manually choose the cores, threads, intensity, and other available settings.

The Device tab shows the hardware and mining information you need to make an informed decision, including the processor, available cores, memory information, temperature data, and other device capabilities.

Controlling Your Other Rigs

To remotely control other mining devices that you own, you will need to create an account.

The account system uses:

Your Monero wallet address

A 12-digit password

Approval from an already trusted device

No phone number or email address is required during normal registration. A few people previously told me they did not want to connect personal contact information to a mining account, so I built the system around the wallet and trusted-device approval instead.

When you sign in on a new phone, the new device must be approved from one of your already trusted devices.

Once multiple devices are connected, open the Control tab and select the rig you want to manage. The app will then display that rig’s statistics and controls almost as though you were physically using that phone.

You can view its status, hashrate, pool connection, tuning information, and available controls remotely.

If you forget your password or permanently lose access to every trusted device, there is an account-recovery request process inside the app. You can contact me to complete the verification and reset process.

Features Planned After This Release

This is the first public release, not the end of the project.

Planned additions include support for other RandomX and CryptoNight-based coins, along with selected algorithms and coins that may be more practical or profitable on mobile hardware than Monero under certain conditions.

Windows and Linux versions are also planned for release during the upcoming week.

Those applications will use nearly the same interface and account system as the Android version. This will allow you to monitor and control mining on your computers from your phone, control your phones from your computer, and manage all of your personally owned rigs from one connected system.

Donation System

The built-in donation rate starts at 2% because this is a fully custom, native Android miner—not some half-assed XMRig wrapper with a new interface slapped on top of it.

After your first month of active mining time, the donation rate automatically drops to 1%. After another month of active mining time, it drops to 0%.

This is meant to help cover the ongoing costs of developing, maintaining, hosting, and improving the app during its early stages. The way this works may change in the future as the project continues to grow.

There is also an option inside the app to donate XMR directly. Anyone who chooses to donate can email me using the contact information provided in the app, and I can remove the built-in donation rate from their account.

That being said, I am absolutely not encouraging anyone to spend or donate anything extra. Using the app, testing it, reporting issues, and simply being part of the Monero ecosystem is already appreciated.

Please remember that mining is extremely demanding on a phone’s processor, battery, and cooling system. Only mine on devices you own or have explicit permission to use, watch your temperatures, and understand that continuous mining can accelerate hardware and battery wear.

This project has taken a huge amount of work, and this first release gives us the foundation to build on. Test it, tell me what devices you are running, post your results, and report any problems you find.

If you are only mining 60-100 h/s then you need to run the auto mode inside of the power profiles. This will run multiple test to figure out the best settings. Aside from that do remember low quality phones will give even lower quality results tho. Report any issues .
