Bitcoin mining gpu ubuntu nvidia

This ensures that your purchases, receipts, and other transfers remain private by default. If you have some spare computing power, or a decent GPU, you can contribute some hashing power to the network and earn some Monero yourself. This tutorial assumes you're running a version of Ubuntu. If you don't have Ubuntu, you can install it on your machine for free here. Make the deviceQuery sample. First create a wallet, either using the simplewallet binary, or using mymonero. Copy your wallet address.

We'll be mining with a pool I like called MoneroHash. It's relatively small, which means payouts will be larger but might take longer. Simply start ccminer to begin mining: Thanks to Zach Shiner for his UbuntuMiner script. Also, you need a Wallet to provide your unique Ether-address. Personally I recommend using Exodus , since it's easy to set up, supports multiple currencies, and doesn't eat all your system's resources like Mist does.

Since I don't like the idea of others keeping your private keys, I suggest you keep away from cloud wallets. The mesa-common-dev fixes most build failures. If you've omitted step 5 from above, you can run Ethminer from the ethminer-directory inside the build-directory you're probably still in:.

If the benchmark returns an empty result which it probably will the first few times , retry until you've got a viable reading or set the --benchmark-warmup. The result should look something like this:. Now the mining should start to run. The first time the miner might show JSON or Database errors, but these will resolve itself after a while. This is solved when manually setting a longer warmup-time:. This error is actually quite self-explanatory, and can be solved my manually setting the gcc version:.

Therefore, I must conclude the extra effort on getting the miner and the drivers running really is worth it.
