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 and YOUR_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!
