Mine XNX
with your CPU

Xernix uses RandomX — a proof-of-work algorithm specifically designed to be efficient on general-purpose CPUs and resistant to ASICs and GPUs. Anyone with a standard computer can mine XNX.

Step-by-step guide

1
Get a Xernix wallet address
You need an XNX address (starts with X7...) to receive your block rewards. Generate one instantly in your browser — no install required.
→ Generate Wallet
Important: Download your backup JSON and store it safely offline. Without your spend key you cannot access your mined coins.
2
Download XMRig
XMRig is the most popular open-source miner for RandomX. It works on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Download the latest release from the official GitHub.
https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest
Choose the binary for your OS: xmrig-X.X.X-msvc-win64.zip (Windows), xmrig-X.X.X-linux-x64.tar.gz (Linux), or xmrig-X.X.X-macos-x64.tar.gz (macOS).
3
Configure XMRig for Xernix
Create a config.json file in the XMRig folder with the settings below. Replace YOUR_XNX_ADDRESS with your wallet address from Step 1.
{ "autosave": true, "cpu": true, "opencl": false, "cuda": false, "pools": [ { "url": "xernix-daemon.replit.app:443", "user": "YOUR_XNX_ADDRESS", "pass": "x", "tls": true, "keepalive": true, "nicehash": false, "algo": "rx/0" } ] }
Note: Xernix is currently a single-node network with no mining pool. The configuration above is for when a pool becomes available. In the meantime, use the direct daemon RPC method described in Step 4.
4
Mine directly via the public RPC (no software install)
The Xernix public RPC supports get_block_template and submit_block. This is how the built-in miner works. You can build your own miner in any language using this simple loop:
# Python — minimal XNX miner import requests, struct, hashlib, time RPC = "https://xernix-daemon.replit.app/json_rpc" ADDRESS = "YOUR_XNX_ADDRESS" def rpc(method, params={}): r = requests.post(RPC, json={"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":method,"params":params}) return r.json()["result"] while True: tpl = rpc("get_block_template", {"wallet_address": ADDRESS, "reserve_size": 8}) # Solve the PoW (difficulty=1 on mainnet currently) blob = bytes.fromhex(tpl["blocktemplate_blob"]) nonce_offset = tpl.get("reserved_offset", 39) for nonce in range(0xFFFFFFFF): b = bytearray(blob) b[nonce_offset:nonce_offset+4] = struct.pack("
The built-in miner on the Xernix node uses this exact approach and mines a block approximately every 65 seconds at difficulty 1.
5
Verify your rewards
After mining a block, your reward will appear in your wallet after 60 confirmations (~60 minutes). Check your balance on the dashboard or query the wallet RPC directly.
curl -X POST https://xernix-daemon.replit.app/wallet/json_rpc \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"0","method":"get_balance","params":{"account_index":0}}'

🍎
macOS
XMRig for macOS (x64 + Apple Silicon). RandomX runs well on M-series chips.
Download XMRig → GitHub
Quick start after download: Unpack the archive, open config.json, set "url" to your pool or the Xernix RPC, and "user" to your XNX address. Then run ./xmrig (Linux/macOS) or xmrig.exe (Windows). Your CPU threads will start hashing immediately.

Why mine XNX?

🔒
Full Privacy
Every transaction is private by default — ring signatures, stealth addresses, RingCT.
📉
Deflationary
1.5% of every transaction is burned. As usage grows, the circulating supply shrinks.
🌱
Early Miner Advantage
The chain is young. Difficulty is minimal — every block you mine now counts more.
💻
CPU Only
RandomX favors CPUs over GPUs and ASICs. Your laptop can compete with big machines.
