xmr-stak is a free, open-source, high-performance miner for Monero (RandomX) and unified CryptoNight-based cryptocurrencies, supporting CPU, AMD, and NVIDIA GPUs. It is a cross-platform C++ application with configurable mining pools and dev donation fees.

Use cases

  • mine Monero with RandomX on CPU and GPU
  • mine CryptoNight-based altcoins
  • set up a unified miner across AMD and NVIDIA GPUs
  • run a headless miner on a Linux rig
  • configure pool mining for multiple coins

When to choose

  • you need a free cross-platform miner supporting CPU plus AMD/NVIDIA GPUs
  • you want to mine RandomX or CryptoNight coins without per-GPU separate miners

When to avoid

  • you need the most actively developed RandomX miner (consider XMRig)
  • you want a GUI-based miner
  • you mine coins outside RandomX/CryptoNight families
