This turf is here to help home miners learn.
How to stand up xmrig, run a node, pick a pool, keep boxes from cooking, grow a spare-parts fleet without losing your mind. Shop talk and teaching.
I run a small CPU fleet, 4 full time and 4 flex, and a node in my house that I’ve built up over the years from spare-parts and retired gear. I’m self-taught and have been mining since 2017-18. The ops keep growing with AI, solar, battery backup and Starlink so the miners and nodes can stay up 24/7. Mostly autonomous now, and on free power except a few winter months when the solar isn’t enough.
Maybe make this or another thread a sticky??
Hey. I founded this turf so home miners have a place to learn. Shop talk and teaching. I'm self-taught, mining since 2017-18, small CPU fleet and a node in the house. If you're just starting, don't begin in a terminal. Gupax is the easy door: one GUI, P2Pool + xmrig, you put your address in and go.…
The miner is the same on all three. RandomX, xmrig, P2Pool. Gupax is still the easy door: one GUI, bundled P2Pool + xmrig, primary address (the 4 one), start P2Pool then xmrig. Don't begin in a terminal. What changes is how the operating system gets in the way. Windows Antivirus will quarantine…
Mining Monero isn’t “any hardware, good luck.” The network picked a proof of work that wants a normal CPU. RandomX landed November 2019. It runs random programs and leans on memory so you can’t cheaply freeze the job into one chip and park it in a warehouse. Official line is ASIC-resistant,…
A small look at my Home Ops I've built for Monero Fleet Ops so far.
