Testimonials
Loved by miners worldwide
"Set it up on my desktop in minutes. I love that it's open source — I could actually read what it does before running it."
Daniel ReyesHobby miner · Spain
"Free, no sign-up, and it just works. I run it on my home server after hours and the tuning is genuinely solid out of the box."
Aisha BelloSelf-hoster · Nigeria
"The auto-tuning got noticeably more hashrate out of my Ryzen than my old config. The CPU and temperature caps keep it cool and quiet."

FAQ
Questions, answered
It's a desktop application that runs on your own computer. While open, it uses your CPU to solve Monero's RandomX proof-of-work and submits shares to a mining pool you choose. The pool pays your share of rewards directly to your Monero wallet. It only runs when you start it.
Possibly — many antivirus tools flag all miners (a category called "riskware"/"PUA") because miners are often bundled into malware by bad actors. HexOverlord is the opposite: it's open source, code-signed, and never hides or runs without your action. You can verify the checksum, read the source, or build it yourself. We do not provide any way to conceal it, and we don't condone running it on machines you don't own.
The software is free. The real cost is electricity and wear on your hardware — mining keeps your CPU near full load. Whether it's profitable depends on your CPU, your power price, and the XMR price. Always check current numbers with a mining calculator; returns are not guaranteed and can be negative.
Payouts come from your chosen mining pool, not from us — we never hold your funds. Each pool sets its own minimum payout (often around 0.1 XMR) and sends earnings straight to the wallet address you configure. Check your pool's dashboard for its exact schedule and threshold.
