XMRig is a high-performance, open-source, cross-platform CPU/GPU miner for RandomX, KawPow, CryptoNight, and GhostRider algorithms, plus a RandomX benchmark tool. It supports CPU (x86/x64/ARM/RISC-V), AMD GPUs via OpenCL, and NVIDIA GPUs via a CUDA plugin, with JSON config, HTTP API, and a companion stratum proxy.

Use cases

mine Monero (RandomX) on CPU
mine Ravencoin with KawPow on GPU
benchmark RandomX hashrate on my hardware
run a stratum proxy for a mining farm
manage miners remotely via HTTP API
mine CryptoNight variants on ARM devices

When to choose

you need a unified miner supporting multiple PoW algorithms across CPU and GPU
you want cross-platform binaries for Windows, Linux, macOS, or FreeBSD
you need runtime reconfiguration and remote management via HTTP API
you want a reliable RandomX benchmark

When to avoid

you mine coins using algorithms outside RandomX, KawPow, CryptoNight, or GhostRider
you need a GUI-only miner with no command-line involvement
you want a zero-fee miner without modifying the default 1% donation in source
