Can the .exe be deleted after running it for the first time?

[Nine-Wonders]

I ran the exe once just to get things started. Since it's supposed to be persistent across reboots, can I delete the .exe and expect it to continue to work as normal?

Yes if you have "Startup" enabled in the miner then it will install itself in the install location, so the original .exe that was run can be safely deleted.

Thanks for the answer. One more thing though, I set the Remote ConFig section on and pasted "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nine-Wonders/miner/main/monero_config.json" as the link. I thought it was supposed to grab the content from that raw link every 100 mins but it doesn't. Is there something that I'm supposed to provide in that raw link other than just the JSON config? Thanks in advance!

Your config is correct and should work, though I would caution you against using SupportXMR since they will ban you.

wow, I didn't know that, they can detect botnet?

Since they run the pool then they know that you have many low hashrate miner connections, at which point they usually ban you for a suspected botnet.

So what pools don’t ban you for what they believe to be suspicious activity?On Apr 15, 2024, at 11:39 AM, Unam Sanctam ***@***.***> wrote: Since they run the pool then they know that you have many low hashrate miner connections, at which point they usually ban you for a suspected botnet. —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>

The most common ones that don't ban (as far as we know) are 2miners and nanopool.

• for 2miners. You can even see that the majority of their users mining monero is silent mining: https://xmr.2miners.com/. The whole pools hashrate fluctuates based on the clock, aka how many people are on their computer.
