title: How to mine with Monero GUI amd CLI wallets
3+
---
4+
5+
## Requirements
6+
7+
- [Monero GUI wallet](https://getmonero.org/downloads)
8+
- Minimum {{ lmdb_size_pruned }} GiB free space
9+
- A fully synced node, managed by Monero GUI
10+
11+
## Notes
12+
13+
- [GUI] The miner used for the P2Pool integration is more optimized than the one used for solo mining.
14+
- Mining using XMRig may also produce even better hashrates than Monero GUI.
15+
- [Solo] The purpose of GUI or CLI wallet is to control the miner. The actual mining process is done by the node (monerod).
16+
17+
If the highest hashrates possible are important to you, check out the [solo XMRig guide](./xmrig-solo.md), [XMRig + P2Pool CLI guide](../p2pool/xmrig-p2pool.md), or the [gupax.io XMRig + P2Pool GUI](https://gupax.io).
