In this guide, you will learn how to set up and use Wildrig. It will be interesting! Wildrig is a cryptocurrency mining software that supports a large number of algorithms, including less popular mining algorithms. Works with AMD since R200 series and Nvidia. The miner’s commission is 1%. Plus, it works great on both Windows and Linux.
0.36.2.
- improved nexapow by 10-20% depending on GPU
- added parameter –execute-at-start (now –execute will work on nexapow after precompute stage)
- extended statistics table with total power consumption and efficiency for each GPU
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Windows miners must have at least Windows 10 build 2004 and install at least 9 GB of virtual memory on the GPU.
WildRig Multi, as the name suggests, is a neat console miner for a wide range of mining algorithms. The list of supported algorithms is quite huge:
- sha256
- sha256csm
- sha256d
- sha256q
- sha256t
- kawpow
- aergo
- anime
- bcd
- bitcore
- 0x10
- blake2b-btcc
- blake2b-glt
- blake2s
- bmw512
- c11
- dedal
- exosis
- honeycomb
- lyra2tdc
- lyra2v2
- megabtx
- nist5
- progpow-ethercore
- progpow-sero
- progpow-veil
- quark
- wildkeccak
How to start
As with many console miners, there are already many predefined “.bat” files to help you get started quickly. If you want to mine a coin that is not listed, check the Github homepage or the “help.txt” file.
Let’s say we want to mine RavenCoin(RVN):
Edit the “start-rvn.bat” file in a text editor (for example, Notepad or Notepad++):
Most things will already be set up for you, but there are at least 2 things you need to change:
- “stratum+tcp://pool.woolypooly.com:55555” is the URL of your mining pool.
- “RJ1r1sMM2uVsiBpUN86vgbs3JnkPzwfjFD” is the address of your RavenCoin wallet.
- “test” is the name of the worker and can be anything.
- “x” is your password, and for most mining pools it can remain unchanged.
- Save the “start-rvn.bat” file, then double click it to run it.
How to set up Wildrig Multi
Step 1 – Download the miner
- GitHub Wildrig: https://github.com/andru-kun/wildrig-multi
The mining software is run via the command line on Linux and via a .bat file on Windows. Below are sample bat files for each cryptocurrency you can mine with Wildrig-Multi.
Step 2 – Set up a batch file for KawPow
Be sure to replace YOUR_ADDRESS with your wallet address. Replace RIG_ID with your own farm name. You can name the farm whatever you like, but the name must contain only Latin letters and the characters “-” and “_”. The wallet must match the cryptocurrency you are mining.
An example of a Wildrig .bat file for a Beepool (Ravencoin) pool:
wildrig.exe --print-full --algo kawpow --url stratum+tcp://rvn-pool.beepool.org:9531 --worker RIG_ID --user RKAeArXkWLNERjWo5YF3R1xFnYCwKf11sX --pass x
pause
Step 3 – Launch Wildrig
Save this batch file and then click start.bat to start mining.
Configuration example for Firo (Zcoin)
STRATUM: | stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com |
PORT: | 8080 |
Username (wallet): | aMLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK |
Password: | x |
This is how the finished Wildrig batch file for Firo (Zcoin) will look like:
wildrig.exe --print-full --algo mtp --url stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com:8080 --worker RIG_ID --user aMLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK --pass x
pause
This is how the WildRig batch file for Ravencoin on the Beepool pool will look like:
To set up a batch file for KAWPOW, we need to enter 5 commands in turn:
- wildrig.exe – name of the worldgram file to be launched
- kawpow – mining algorithm
- rvn-pool.beepool.org:9531 – pool address and time
- RKAeArXkWLNERjWo5YF3R1xFnYCwKf11sX – wallet for mining.
Setup for NiceHash
Here is the batch file for NiceHash:
wildrig.exe --print-full --algo kawpow --url stratum+tcp://kawpow.eu-west.nicehash.com:3385 --worker RIG_ID --user 3LZhp4g3m7YWqR4hAPrZsKWbyo7hRBmqvy --pass x
pause

Teams
–algo or a short synonym for this command -a – specifies the algorithm for mining (for example: ‘mtp’, ‘lyra2Z’, ‘scrypt’, ‘myr-gr’)
Important! Use either the long synonym –algo or the short one -a. You don’t need to use both together.
Further commands will be specified separated by commas. First a short synonym, and then a long one. Remember that you only need to use one option.
-v, –version Display version and exit.
-c, –config \<config file path> – Use config in JSON format instead of batch file (CMD file).
