Perform the [above steps](#mining-directly-with-wownerod) but change number 9; `wownerod` must be running in your terminal without mining options (just run `./wownerod`):
4. Run `./xmrig --donate-level 5 --url 127.0.0.1:34568 --user {YOUR-ADDRESS} --algo rx/wow --spendkey {SECRET-SPENDKEY} --threads {NUMBER} --daemon`; run with `sudo` for additional performance
# Mining with SuchMiner
To solo mine you can use SuchMiner, a high-performance Wownero miner.
1. [Download SuchMiner](https://github.com/duggavo/SuchMiner/releases) and unzip the downloaded folder. If you wish you can also verify the hash and signature, or build by yourself.
2. For security reasons it is strongly recommeneded to create a new wallet for mining. You can use [Wowlet](https://wowlet.app/) or [Wownero Wallet CLI](https://git.wownero.com/wownero/releases).
3. Run SuchMiner and enter your wallet address and private spend key when prompted. In WowLet you can see them with *wallet*>*keys*.
