How to mine Zephyr (ZEPH) with CPU (RandomX)
Zephyr uses the RandomX proof-of-work algorithm, which is best suited for CPU mining. This guide shows how to connect to NushyPool and start mining ZEPH on PPS or Solo.
What you need
- A Zephyr wallet address (ZEPH addresses start with ZEPHYR).
- A CPU miner (examples below).
- A worker name (you will use it as
[address].[worker]).
Recommended mining software
Below is a short list of popular RandomX CPU miners.
| Miner | Source | Hardware | OS | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XMRig recommended | Open source | CPU | Windows/Linux | XMRig |
| XMRig-MO | Open source | CPU | Windows/Linux | XMRig-MO |
| XMRigCC | Open source | CPU | Windows/Linux | XMRigCC |
| SRBMiner-Multi | Closed source | CPU | Windows/Linux | SRBMiner |
| XMR-Stak | Open source (archived) | CPU | Windows/Linux | XMR-Stak |
Connection to pool
| Pool | Algorithm | Pool URL |
|---|---|---|
| PPS | RandomX | nushypool.com:40009 |
| Solo | RandomX | nushypool.com:45009 |
To start mining
If Windows warns that a miner is "potentially unwanted software", you may need to explicitly allow it in Windows Security.
$ ping nushypool.comUse [address].[worker] as your username so the pool can attribute shares to your worker.
XMRig example (PPS):
$ ./xmrig -a rx/0 -o nushypool.com:40009 -u [address].[worker]SRBMiner example (PPS):
$ ./SRBMiner-MULTI --algorithm randomx --pool nushypool.com:40009 --wallet [address].[worker]You can also generate a ready-to-run command on the ZEPH Pool Page using the "Start Mining" button.
Good luck!
