Introduction
XMR Monero
Homepage Explorer Wallets Exchanges
Monero (XMR) is an open-source cryptocurrency created in April 2014 that focuses on privacy and decentralization and is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and FreeBSD. Monero uses a public ledger to record transactions while new units are created through a process called mining. Monero aims to improve the existing cryptocurrency design by obscuring sender, recipient and amount of every transaction made, and make the mining process more egalitarian.

Why do I need to set multiple ports?
We recommend that users set multiple ports to ensure stable and sustainable mining. Should one of them is inactive, the miner will switch to the next one automatically.

If my miner is disconnected, how to fix it?
The status will become active after the miner keep running for around 10 to 20 minutes.
If the worker keeps producing invalid shares, please check your settings on the dashboard.
If the issue remains unresolved after checking, feel free to send us a ticket.
