XMRig-Zero (Multi-Platform Automated Builds)

Automated, multi-platform builds of XMRig with the minimum developer donation set to 0%.

• Upstream source: xmrig/xmrig — built from the latest official tagged release
• Platforms: Windows x64, Linux (static/Alpine, Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy, Ubuntu 24.04 Noble), macOS (x64 and arm64)
• Automatic builds: Checks for a new upstream release daily and publishes a matching release here
• License: GPL-3.0 — Copyright (C) 2016-2025 xmrig.com

Why use this?

In the official XMRig binaries, even if you set donate-level to 0 in the config, a hardcoded minimum of 1% in the source (kMinimumDonateLevel) overrides it and the miner still donates.

In this version, two patches are applied before building:

1. src/donate.h — both kDefaultDonateLevel and kMinimumDonateLevel are set to 0
2. src/config.json — donate-level and donate-over-proxy are set to 0

The result is that setting donate-level: 0 in your config is fully respected.

Download

See Releases for pre-built binaries and SHA256SUMS.

To verify your download:

sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

This checks that the file you downloaded matches the hash generated at build time. Note: unlike the official XMRig releases, SHA256SUMS here is not GPG-signed — but the hashes themselves are computed in the open on GitHub Actions runners, and the full build log is publicly auditable.

How it works

The GitHub Actions workflow:

1. Fetches the latest upstream XMRig release tag from xmrig/xmrig
2. Applies the 0% donation patch to src/donate.h and src/config.json
3. Builds natively on each platform (Windows MSVC, Alpine static, Ubuntu 22.04, Ubuntu 24.04, macOS x64, macOS arm64)
4. Packages each binary with config.json and platform extras (Windows includes WinRing0x64.sys and example scripts)
5. Generates a SHA256SUMS file and publishes everything to a GitHub Release

Each release description includes the exact upstream tag and patch details.
