Amethyst Miner is a sleek, smart, and fully automated Monero (XMR) background miner built for the Linux desktop. By wrapping the immense CPU mining power of XMRig into a beautiful, lightweight PyQt6 interface, Amethyst Miner makes cryptocurrency mining accessible, quiet, and effortlessly organized.

Just enter your wallet address, and let it quietly turn your idle computer time into Monero.

• ⚡️ Optimized Engine: High-performance RandomX CPU mining powered directly by the latest XMRig engine.
• 🎨 Modern Interface: A gorgeous, native-feeling GUI built with PyQt6 featuring real-time hashrate graphs and hardware monitoring.
• 📦 Background Mode: Minimizes securely to the system tray, running silently in the background without interrupting your workflow.
• ❤️ Free and Open Source: Transparent, lightweight, and community-driven.

Amethyst Miner acts as a graphical and automation wrapper around XMRig, the industry-standard CPU miner for Monero.

flatpak install flathub io.github.C_Yassin.AmethystMiner

# soon

git clone https://github.com/C-Yassin/AmethystMiner.git
cd AmethystMiner
python3 main.py

Because We compile XMRig inside it we need the required tools:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install cmake libhwloc-dev libssl-dev

sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S cmake hwloc openssl

If you want to dive deeper into how the mining algorithms work, understand specific CPU optimizations (like MSR mods and Huge Pages), or tweak advanced networking parameters, check out the official documentation:
