Quick start for CPU mining

Mine Juno Cash (RandomX) and get set up fast.

Juno Cash is private-by-default and CPU-mined using RandomX. This page is a simple “do-this-next” guide plus a shortlist of pools and tools.

Algorithm: RandomX Best hardware: multi-core CPU Tip: use a non-exchange address

Note: mining commands vary by pool (stratum URL/port). Use the pool’s “Getting Started” page for exact values.

How to mine

1) Get a wallet address. Install the official software / node wallet from the releases page and create a receiving address. Keep backups (seed phrase / wallet.dat) offline.

2) Choose a pool. Pick one from the Pools section below and note: stratum URL, port, username/wallet, and password format.

3) Mine with a RandomX miner. Options: juno-miner (standalone), the built-in miner in some Juno Cash releases, or a third-party miner that supports “randomjuno”.

Linux quickstart (example)

# 0) Install basics (Ubuntu/Debian example)
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git build-essential cmake hwloc

# 1) Download & build the standalone miner
git clone https://github.com/juno-cash/juno-miner.git
cd juno-miner
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j"$(nproc)"

# 2) Run (replace with your pool + your wallet address)
# Example placeholders:
#   POOL_URL=pool.example.com
#   PORT=3333
#   WALLET=j1...your_address_here
#   WORKER=myRig01
./juno-miner -o stratum+tcp://POOL_URL:PORT -u WALLET.WORKER -p x

Windows users: most miners/pools provide a zip download + a .bat file template. Use the same pool URL/port + wallet settings.

Performance tips

  • RandomX likes CPU cache and memory bandwidth — more cores and higher RAM speed generally help.
  • On Linux, huge pages can improve hashrate (pool/miner docs usually include the exact steps).
  • Keep your system cool; CPU throttling will reduce hashrate fast.
  • Use a unique worker name per machine so you can see each rig in the pool dashboard.

Pool checklist

verify before mining
  • Fee: pool fee + miner dev fee (if any).
  • Payout scheme: PPS / PPLNS / PROP and minimum payout threshold.
  • Ports: low-diff for small rigs, high-diff for servers.
  • Geo: choose the closest region endpoint if offered.
  • Dashboard: worker stats, shares, hashrate average, payment history.

Solo mining?

Solo mining only makes sense if you have enough hashrate to find blocks reasonably often. Most people should start with a pool.

Tools & downloads

Security basics: download from official sources, verify checksums/signatures when provided, and never run miners/wallets you don’t trust.
