To mine uPlexa coins using the new algo: UPX2, you will need either a CPU, GPU or an IoT device like mobile phone, TV box, etc. In this article we will discuss how to mine uPlexa using a CPU.


Requirements: Any computer and XMRRig CC 1.9.3 or later

Preperation: 1.Download HWinfo to monitor CPU temps 2. Note your CPU idle temp and fan speed. 3. Check your PC cooler for excessive dust and clean it if needed (also valid for laptops). After all, you don't want to kill your PC/laptop. 4. Enable Huge Pages support (increases mining speed by about 10%):

To use large pages (2-4MB) pages you specifically need to give your user the "lock pages in memory" privilege using Local Security Policy.

Note: at this time, Windows Home, Starter versions do not suppport changing privileges thus this feature cannot be enabled through "official means".

For Windows Professional, Enterprise, Ultimate or Server:

Run Start\All Programs\Administrative Tools\Local Security Policy Expand Local Policies\User Rights Assignment, scroll down and double-click Lock Pages in Memory. Feel free to read the explanation about the setting. Click Add User or Group and find your user - or Administrators group if your user has Admin rights - and add it in. Restart your PC for the setting to become active.

Your PC is now ready for mining!

1. Then extract the contents of the XMRRig CC to a folder of your convenience. If Anti-virus software is blocking/deleting it, please add it as an exception (consult your AV software manual on how to do this).
