XMR mining tips for improving your Monero mining CPU rig!
This is part of my Monero mining with Microsoft Azure experiment here on Steemit!
- I use xmr-stak-cpu
- Do make sure that you enable "Lock pages in Memory" in Group Policy, helpful guide to optimize your mining rig: https://getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/mine-to-pool.html
- As a general rule, you can set the number of threads to the same as the number of CPU cores or, better yet, half of the CPU cache (if you have a 8MB cache, you should use 4 threads). Source
- Choose a mining pool port that is closer to your region
If you wish, do feel free to clarify any remaining doubts, I'm more that willing to help :)
You can track my setup from here:

Note: I'm also trying Microsoft Azure to mine (I'm getting a consistent 325H/s per VM, out of 18 VMs) You are highly recommended to check it out
