Monero Mining 101

Learn to set up ethical low-power CPU mining of Monero (XMR) with XMRig, including wallet setup, pool choice, config tips, and troubleshooting.

This skill is internally consistent with its stated educational purpose, but mining has real-world costs and abuse risks: only run on hardware you control and expect increased power/heat. Before following instructions, verify XMRig downloads/signatures from the official project (xmrig.com or the official GitHub repo), prefer building from source if unsure, and avoid running pre-built binaries from unknown sources. Do not run miners on shared/cloud/managed servers (provider ToS often forbid this). If you install and run XMRig, limit threads/CPU usage as suggested, monitor temperatures and system stability, and do not provide private keys or seeds to anyone. Finally, be aware the included wallet address is a donation address — use your own address for payouts.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: monero-mining-101 Version: 1.0.0 The bundle is a transparent educational guide for voluntary Monero (XMR) mining. It provides legitimate instructions for installing XMRig from official sources, configuring it with low-power settings, and understanding the ethical implications of mining. While it involves high-resource CPU usage and network connections to mining pools (e.g., supportxmr.com), these activities are explicitly aligned with the stated purpose of the skill ('Monero Mining 101') and include appropriate warnings regarding electricity costs and hardware permissions. No evidence of hidden malicious intent, data exfiltration, or automated unauthorized execution was found in SKILL.md or the associated metadata.
