I rented - as an experiment - a dedicated ARMv8 server. I trying to compile xmr-stak-cpu. I am running into the same issues as mentioned in: https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu/issues/102.

Is there a working XMR miner on ARMv8 currently?

BR, Rene

It's possible, at least I managed to build XMR-STAK-CPU for Apple mobile CPUs, which are ARMv8. Though SSE instructions have to emulated with NEON instructions, it works pretty performant. Some details on the experiment are here.

XMR-stak needs SSE instructions, but there is a working ARM implementation in monero-core. You can mine directly with a full node if you don't mind the performance penalty.

I setup a multiarch docker build for x86 arm64 and arm (wip). I can confirm it works on a number of my arm64 systems.
