How to Mine Pokio
There are currently three ways to mine Pokio:
1. Merged Mining with Monero (XMR)
This is the most profitable method. You mine Monero and Pokio at the same time.
Where to mine: https://xmr.pokio.xyz
Miner: https://github.com/pokiochain/pokio-xmrig/releases/tag/1.0.0
Command:
xmrig -u YOUR_XMR_ADDRESS -p YOUR_POKIO_ADDRESS -o xmr.pokio.xyz:7777 -t THREADS
2. RandomX Only
This method mines only Pokio using the RandomX algorithm. Currently more profitable than PokioHash.
Miner: https://github.com/pokiochain/pokio-xmrig/releases/tag/1.0.0
Command:
xmrig -u YOUR_POKIO_ADDRESS -o pokio.xyz:3333 -t THREADS
3. PokioHash / Balloon
This is the least profitable method for now, until a future update balances the rewards. It uses Pokio’s native hash algorithm.
Miner: https://github.com/pokiochain/pokio-miner/releases/tag/0.2.1-pre
Command:
pokiominer --o pokio.xyz --w YOUR_POKIO_ADDRESS --t THREADS
Notes
- Replace
YOUR_XMR_ADDRESS
andYOUR_POKIO_ADDRESS
with your actual wallet addresses. - Set
THREADS
to match the number of CPU threads you want to use. - Merged mining is recommended for maximizing rewards.
- Important: If you don’t use
-p YOUR_POKIO_ADDRESS
in merged mining, you will only mine Monero and receive no Pokio rewards.
Happy mining!
