Utvinning av Monero
Monero er en kryptovaluta som avhenger av «proof-of-work» («bevis på arbeid»)-utvinning for å oppnå distribuert konsensus. Nedenfor vil du finne informasjon og ressurser på hvordan du kan begynne å utvinne. Monero-prosjektet gir ikke tilslutning til en spesifikk pool, programvare eller maskinvare, og innholdet under er kun gitt i informasjonsøyemed.
Proof of Work
One of Monero's philosophies is to maintain egalitarian mining, so that everyone can have the possibility to mine. To achieve this, Monero uses a particular algorithm ideated and developed by members of the Monero community: RandomX. This PoW algorithm is ASIC resistant, which means it's impossible to build specialized hardware to mine Monero. Miners must use consumer-grade hardware and compete fairly.
Monero can be mined by both CPUs and GPUs, but the former is much more efficient.
Solo or pool mining
Miners can decide if they prefer to solo mine or to mine in a pool. Each method has its benefits and drawbacks, but the Monero Project encourages individuals to solo mine using the Monero software (GUI and CLI), as this type of independent mining is the most effective way to increase the robustness of the Monero network. Mining using P2Pool is also encouraged.
Pro and cons of solo and pool mining:
Solo
- Makes the network more secure than if mining in a pool
- You can mine using your Monero wallet. No need for additional software
- Depending on your hashrate, it might take months before you find a block. This is often referred to as a 'lottery'
Pool
- Frequent payouts. You will receive XMR according to how much you are participating in the pool of your choice.
- You have to pay a fee to the pool operator
- You can only use third party software to pool mine, which might take a small percentage of your shares
- Too many people mining on a single pool might lead on the pool having >50% of the total hashrate, which is dangerous

P2Pool: The best of both solo and pool mining
P2Pool is a clever new way of mining Monero, which allows miners to receive the frequent payouts offered by pools without needing to trust a centralized pool. P2Pool is a Peer-To-Peer mining pool that gives miners full control over their Monero node and what it mines. More details in the announcement post. </a>
P2Pool is a sidechain to Monero, and P2Pool blocks are potentially Monero blocks. Each miner submits block templates that include payouts to all of the miners that are mining at the same time (those that currently have shares in the PPLNS window). High quality block templates are added to the P2Pool blockchain as blocks; these count as "shares" for the miner who found them.
Main features
- Decentralized: no central server that can be shutdown/blocked/malicious.
- Permissionless: anyone can join the sidechain, and it's effectively impossible to censor individual miners.
- Trustless: there is no pool wallet; funds are never in custody. All pool blocks pay out to miners immediately.
- PPLNS payout scheme
- 0% fee
- 0 XMR payout fee
- Less than 0.0004 XMR minimum payout

Hardware
Monero can be mined on both CPUs and GPUs, but the latter is much less efficient than the former. You can get an idea of how your hardware performs compared to others, using monerobanchmarks (some results might be out of date).
Utvinningsprogramvare
There are several options when it comes to mining software. As already said, to solo mine, the CLI or GUI wallets can be used (CPU only). If you want to mine to a pool or mine with a GPU, you'll need dedicated software. Miners supporting Monero:
