XMrig New Version

Hi Guys,

I want to update my xmrig to ensure its the latest version… i went to this website:

Got a few questions…

which version should i take for windows?
Can i replace the old config over the new?

aussiesloth · December 30, 2020, 6:44am

Either of these…

You should be able to just use the old config.json, so keep a copy handy.

oh cool,

i think 2nd one is working… let me observe longer.
I used the first one earlier, couldn’t work. thought it was config…

thx for sharing

i am getting this error in the XMRIG

[2020-12-30 16:19:51.272]  msr      to write MSR registers Administrator privileges required.
[2020-12-30 16:19:51.272]  msr      FAILED TO APPLY MSR MOD, HASHRATE WILL BE LOW

Is there anyway i can fix this via config? please share

Have you gone into the xmrig file properties, made sure it shows as Unblocked (because you downloaded it from the internet), and then gone into the Compatibility tab and checked the box beside “Run in administrator mode”?

awesome @aussiesloth, that run as admin thing worked

thx thx!

I can’t download, I get; failed - network error.

It was Avast blocking it !

You may want to explain in more detail, in order to find help.

dont get you. download from website?

you should be able to bypass it by disabling your antivirus if you dont know how to add an exception

thxo1138 · January 3, 2021, 5:39am

Forget about it.

As far as I know you can’t put an exception on a download.

You need to shut down Avast-download-and reactivate.

hey guys,

i am on the ubuntu one click OS… what command do i need to use to download the file from the xmrig repository…

i think this should be the binary package i should use:
https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/download/v6.7.0/xmrig-6.7.0-linux-x64.tar.gz

pooi · January 10, 2021, 10:30am

ok… i manage to download with wget command…

After i setup the ./xmrig … it doesn load pass the screen shot part… i use sudo to run… any advise?

pooi · January 10, 2021, 3:18pm

ok, looks like it was an address problem thats why it couldn’t start…

I am getting this error next… which settings is needed to enable it? please refer to the screenshot

pooi · January 10, 2021, 3:23pm

ok all good. just needed to run with sudo for the xmrig and it will work well

dandabek · January 11, 2021, 4:03pm

exactly, just after now reading your posts, this error would pop up if I didn’t run with sudo

to download I would use wget <url> without the < > and fill in the URL and it will download whatever file is at the link you put after wget

thanks for posting your findings, and concerns!

Yoo Dabek, How far apart must i have cpu rigs spread apart stacked upwards in a well ventilated basement?

dandabek · January 11, 2021, 4:43pm

It really comes down to how many you have set up.

The main thing is actively drawing the heat OUT

I did not consider much the distance apart, 2 feet of clearance vertically, maybe 18 inches, and not much space in between rigs.

Having fans pushing air off of the rigs horizontally will work well if you’re planning to stack them on shelving

i think this may cover most of the issues you list here
