WildRig Multi

WildRig Multi is a miner capable of handling a diverse range of algorithms, including those not widely used in mining. It is supported on Nvidia and AMD graphics cards, starting from the R200 series. This program is designed for mining Ravencoin and other cryptocurrencies on AMD graphics cards.

In its latest update, the miner not only added support for the X18 algorithm but also enhanced performance on X16r/s, X17, Hex, and several other algorithms. Currently, it is the most efficient miner for AMD cards when using the X16R algorithm.

The miner’s fee for usage is 1%, applicable to almost all supported algorithms.

How to set up Wildrig

Step 1 – Download the miner

To launch the mining software, you need to use the command line in Linux and the .bat file in the Windows operating system. Below are examples of .bat files for each of the cryptocurrencies that can be mined using 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 the unique name of your mining setup. You are free to choose any name for your setup, but it should consist only of Latin letters and the symbols “-” and “_”. Additionally, ensure that the specified wallet corresponds to the cryptocurrency you are mining.

Example Wildrig .bat file for Beepool (Ravencoin):

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.

Example configuration for Firo (Zcoin)

STRATUM:	stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com
PORT:	8080
Username (wallet):	aMLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK
Password:	x

wildrig.exe --print-full --algo mtp --url stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com:8080 --worker RIG_ID --user aMLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK --pass x
pause

Example of Wildrig Multi settings (bat file)

To launch the miner, you need to use the command line in the Linux operating system or a bat file in Windows. Below are examples of bat files for each of the cryptocurrencies that can be mined using Wildrig-Multi. Don’t forget to replace YOUR_ADDRESS with your wallet address, and RIG_ID with the name of your farm. You can choose the farm name arbitrarily; it should only contain letters of the English alphabet and the symbols “-” and “_”. Be sure to specify the wallet for the cryptocurrency you intend to mine.

Problem solving

The program freezes at startup

If the program crashes upon startup, it is recommended to try reducing the overclocking level.

If this does not improve the situation, consider reducing the overclocking for the graphics card or completely disabling it.

The program crashes

• Increase the swap file size.
• Remove environment variables from previous miners. System properties / Advanced system settings / Environment Variables – delete variables from old programs. Do not delete system variables! Only remove those starting with GPU_FORCE and restart the system.
• Reduce overclocking.
• Check all connections from risers and power supply (with the system turned off). Sometimes swapping risers can help.
• Ensure that the power supply is sufficient for the load. Different mining algorithms consume different amounts of electricity.
