Ethereum - Claymore Dual Ethereum GPU Miner - For Linux ( GeForce GTX )
In this post I will show you how to gpu mine ethereum using the Geforce GTX GPU of your linux computer and a software called Claymore dual ethereum GPU miner.
- We are using Ubuntu server version 16. (64 bits)
- We are using the MINERGATE minig pool
- Minergate will charge you a small percentage of your mining profits, something like 1.5%
MINERGATE
Access the MINERGATE website and create an account.
GEFORCE GPU INSTALLATION
Use the following commands to install the required packages to enable the Nvidia Geforce Graphic card on your linux computer.
# mkdir /downloads
# cd /downloads
# wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb
# apt-get update
# apt-get install cuda
After finishing the installation you need to edit the .bashrc file from the root user and add the following lines at its end.
# vi /root/.bashrc
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:$PATH
After finishing the installation, reboot the computer.
# reboot
CLAYMORE DUAL ETHEREUM GPU MINER INSTALLATION
Use the following commands to install the claymore dual gpu miner software on your linux computer.
# apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
# mkdir /downloads/miner
# cd /downloads/miner
# wget https://github.com/nanopool/Claymore-Dual-Miner/releases/download/v9.4/Claymore.s.Dual.Ethereum.Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal.AMD.NVIDIA.GPU.Miner.v9.4.-.LINUX.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf Claymore.s.Dual.Ethereum.Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal.AMD.NVIDIA.GPU.Miner.v9.4.-.LINUX.tar.gz
# echo > epools.txt
MINING ETHEREUM
In order to start mining ethereum, use the following command:
# ./ethdcrminer64 -epool http://eth.pool.minergate.com:55751/[email protected] -epsw x -mode 1 -allpools 1 -erate 0
- You need to change the username [email protected] from the command above to the username that you created on the minergate website.
YOUTUBE VIDEO
In our YOUTUBE channel, we offer a video showing you the step by step procedure.
Isn't 1.5% too much for Ethereum these days?
Maybe, but I actually never used other mining pool besides minergate... I am thinking about trying supernova .cc
Let us know if you try others!
Do you have a pool recommendation? Maybe I could check it out and create another tutorial... :-)
I'm not pool expert, I was asking due to the fact that the price changed a lot. :)
Nice :)
Thanks! :-D
