I’m currently running xmrig, but I’d like to mine without joining a pool. I understand the tradeoffs, that I’m likely to never be the one to mine a block.

Anyone here that does the same? Or knows of a way to do that?

    why do you want to do that?

    if you really want, you just point xmrig to your local monero node and done, no?

      I mine mostly because I like the technology, and have (already paid for) CPU cycles spare. Plus, doing it without a pool is a bit like playing the lottery.

      local monero node and done, no?

      Aha! I have no such thing as far as I’m aware, since I use the mymonero wallet.

      I should run a node, and in the “pool” section of the xmrig config, point to localhost?
