How to setup failover pool in Xmrig - tutorial

[earlzmoade]

Firstly i assume that you already have Xmrig installed on your computer, if not you can get it at https://xmrig.com/ or at their  github to get latest release https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases.

If you are using the  config file you can do like this:

Open up config file with lets say notepad and scroll down to pool configuration section.

Code Select Expand

{
            "algo": null,
            "coin": "null",
            "url": "foundation.biblepay.org:3001",
            "user": "Your_monero_adress.your_preferred_workername",
            "pass": "Your_biblepay_adress",
            "rig-id": null,
            "nicehash": false,
            "keepalive": false,
            "enabled": true,
            "tls": false,
            "tls-fingerprint": null,
            "daemon": false,
            "socks5": null,
            "self-select": null
        }

Just copy and paste your pool configuration and add a comma  in the end.

Should look like this when you have failover pool setup:

Code Select Expand

{
            "algo": null,
            "coin": "null",
            "url": "foundation.biblepay.org:3001",
            "user": "Your_monero_adress.your_preferred_workername",
            "pass": "Your_biblepay_adress",
            "rig-id": null,
            "nicehash": false,
            "keepalive": false,
            "enabled": true,
            "tls": false,
            "tls-fingerprint": null,
            "daemon": false,
            "socks5": null,
            "self-select": null
        },
        {
            "algo": null,
            "coin": null,
            "url": "bbp.miningpool.fun:3001",
            "user": "Your_monero_adress.your_preferred_workername",
            "pass": "Your_biblepay_adress",
            "rig-id": null,
            "nicehash": false,
            "keepalive": false,
            "enabled": true,
            "tls": false,
            "tls-fingerprint": null,
            "daemon": false,
            "socks5": null,
            "self-select": null
             }

First pool configuration from top will be your primary pool and the one below is  your failover pool, you can set more failover pools if they are available.

If you are using the command line or made a batch file it would look like this:

Code Select Expand

xmrig.exe --donate-level 1 -o bbp.miningpool.fun:3001 -u Your_monero_adress.your_preferred_workername -p Your_biblepay_adress -k -o foundation.biblepay.org:3001 -u Your_monero_adress.your_preferred_workername -p Your_biblepay_adress -k
