RandomX returns!

Post by Steve Sokolowski » Thu Apr 15, 2021 8:53 am

We're pleased to announce that RandomX mining has returned to the pool. You can start mining RandomX immediately. A new "CPU Quick Start" guide is now available at https://prohashing.com/guides/cpu-quick-start.

In celebration, the fees for RandomX will start at zero.

Feel free to offer your feedback!

Put one up for a test with xmr-stak-cpu on 1 AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Six-Core. Picked up and started quick, I'll update later.
Update: Works fine with no hiccups. Moved over another Ryzen and a couple older intel i5 cpu's.

Enjoying the addition, thanks team!

Could someone post a pools.txt file that works with xmr-stak-rx? I can't seem to get the config right for PH here. I have it working fine at another pool but would like to point my miners to here.

Going well with xmrig. Finally I can also mine using the CPU and not have to wait several days to reach a 0.01 xmr payout threshold :)

Ha, got it with a new walk through on the configurator in xmr-stak-rx. Must have had errors trying to manually edit.

Hey guys,

I am receiving an error connecting to prohashing.com on port 3359, however, eu.prohashing.com on port 3359 seems to work so I don’t think it is my machine or setup - I am using XMRig 6.11.1 on Windows 10.

Is there another server available? In Canada or the USA perhaps?

Could you provide an image of the exact error message? Thanks!
