How to understand the messages in the XMRStack window? Share statistics, mining status, and working parameters.
Miner does not use bat files to run and relies on its processor optimization algorithms. The whole setup process is done in the miner itself.
The setup process is like a dialog questionnaire for the user. By filling it out, you can start mining. The answers are entered by text on the keyboard, confirmed by the key Enter. The question often boils down to a simple Yes y or Non.
What can you see in the miner window?
The miner asks whether to use a simple setup. We recommend that you answer n — no. This will not complicate the process but will allow you to configure the miner better. In addition, he has a few settings. We press n and confirm with the key Enter.
The miner offers to install WEB monitoring to track the process of mining. To do this, you must enter the port to which you will connect through a browser. So, first, enter the port, for example, 10050, and confirm by pressing Enter.
Next, the miner prompts you to choose the algorithm you want to mine. The list shows the available algorithms. In response, write the algorithm you wish to use, for example, randomx (which corresponds to the coin Monero), and confirm by pressing Enter.
The miner asks for the pool address where you are going to mine and its port. Enter the pool address, for example, xmr.kryptex.network:7777, and confirm by pressing Enter.
The miner asks you to specify a wallet where the payment from the pool will be received. Enter your wallet for a specific coin, which you selected in step 3. For example, 83hiCbDfPrjUb7dJCh7prAUUHaAAa1b3odu4AyK5fxv7fwNY8VRW1NVFRvA2ZnqbpNgM149Td7hDKLBQPEBF1aQgAYDg6VK and confirm by pressing Enter.
The miner asks for a password to access the pool if required. If not required — just press Enter.
The miner asks for the name of your rig, which will be displayed on the pool. Enter the name of the rig you want, and confirm with the Enter key.
The miner asks if you want to set up a TLS/SSL secure connection. Here you need to refer to the settings of your pool. In our case, choose no — n and confirm by pressing Enter.
The miner asks if you want to use the distributed capacity service. In our case, we choose no — n and confirm with the Enter key.
The miner asks if we need a duplicate pool address (a backup pool). In our case, we choose no — n and confirm by pressing Enter.
The miner reports that it saved the settings to a file.
The miner starts the mining algorithm and checks the hardware.
The miner reports the version and information about the developers.
A list of the miner's quick commands to get additional data (the mining process will not be too informative). Press the corresponding key on the keyboard to get the desired result in the mining process. - h — get information about the hashrate; - r — get information about the state of mining and shares; - c — get information on the currently active connections.

The miner reports which mining algorithm is running.
The miner informs that the equipment test results are written to a file.
The miner connects the available CPU threads to the mining processor, assigns them parameters, and allocates memory to each thread.
The miner connects to the pool and specifies its address and port. Attempts to connect.
The miner reports the complexity of the share on the pool (set by the pool).
Reports a successful connection to the pool.
The miner reports that he got a new job.
To summarize the current hashrate, press the h key. The miner will show a table with the hashrate for each active thread for the last 10 seconds / 60 seconds / 15 minutes. It will also show the total hashrate Totals.
share accepted — the miner reported that the share was successfully confirmed by the pool, the complexity of the share, and the time for which it was confirmed. The status of the share can also berejected — rejected share, most often because of the connection with the Internet, or just late shares (stale) — someone solved the problem earlier. There is no way to get rid of them completely, but it is accepted that the "norm" is 1-2% of the total number of all shares. incorrect — such shares appear in case of overclocking, graphics card, processor or RAM error, or memory failure. Graphics card or processor counts incorrectly (2+2=5).
To get a summary of the current state of the received shares, press the r key. - currency — the current algorithm, which is being mined. - difficulty — the current difficulty of the shares on the pool (set by the pool). - Good results — the number of accepted shares. The 2/2 says that out of 2 shares, both are successfully accepted. The success result is 100% of the shares received. - avg result time is the average time it takes to process one share in seconds. - Pool-side hashes — the miner reports how many hashes were processed on the pool. - Top 10 best results found — the most complex shares your miner has processed during the mining session. - Error details — the miner reports if there were any errors during the mining process.
