XTM Mining
How traditional Tari mining works
Tari is a dual-layer project: a Minotari base layer plus a digital-assets layer. Base-layer mining uses more than one PoW. The ASIC-relevant path on this site is SHA3x (SHA-3 / Keccak family), which is what Goldshell XT-BOX and XT Card hash.
Tari also has a RandomX path (CPU, merge-mine related to Monero in the original design). SHA3x ASICs do not replace RandomX miners; they are a separate work stream. Configure the pool for SHA3x, not RandomX.
Tari SHA3x mining pools
Use a pool that lists algorithm SHA3x (sometimes labeled XTM-SHA3X):
-
LuckyPool: Regional SHA3x stratum (for example
tari.luckypool.io:6118) and SRBMiner--algorithm sha3xexamples. - Tari miningcore / project pools: Check official docs for current stratum hosts (miningcore.tari.com has been used by the project miner).
- MiningPoolStats: Search Tari / XTM and confirm the SHA3x row, not the RandomX row.
Tari mining algorithm
SHA3x is Tari’s ASIC/GPU-friendly PoW (SHA-3 based). Goldshell XT-BOX (~580 GH/s, 400 W) and XT Card (~100 GH/s, 65 W) are the SHA3x ASICs on this page. They will not mine BTC, KAS, or RandomX Tari.
Hybrid mining means a share of blocks can come from RandomX. Pointing a XT-BOX at a RandomX pool will produce zero valid SHA3x shares. Read the pool’s algorithm column.

How to set up a Tari SHA3x mining rig
-
1. Choose SHA3x hardware
XT-BOX or XT Card. GPUs can run SHA3x via miners such as SRBMiner; they will not beat those ASICs on efficiency.
-
2. Set up a Tari wallet
Use a Minotari/Tari wallet from tari.com (console wallet or documented GUI). Payout addresses are Tari, not BTC.
-
3. Configure SHA3x stratum
Example: LuckyPool
tari.luckypool.io:6118with the pool’s wallet=diff format. On GPUs, pass--algorithm sha3x. On the ASIC, use the vendor UI pool fields. -
4. Be cautious with firmware
Goldshell firmware only for XT units.
-
5. Start mining
Confirm the worker is on SHA3x/XTM, not RandomX. Hybrid networks make this mix-up common.
Frequently asked questions
Tari is a digital-assets protocol with a Minotari PoW base layer. XTM is the ticker used for that base asset on mining sites. Official: tari.com.
Both exist. ASICs on this page are SHA3x. CPU/RandomX is a different miner binary and pool.
No. XT-BOX is SHA3x. Merge-mining with Monero is the RandomX side of the design, not this ASIC.
XT Card is the low-power card (65 W, 100 GH/s). XT-BOX is the 400 W 580 GH/s box.
