How To Mine Monero using the CPU - For Linux
In this post I will show you how to mine monero using the CPU of your linux computer using a software called cpuminer.
- 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.
CPUMINER INSTALLATION
Use the following commands to install the required softwares on your linux computer.
# apt-get update
# apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev git
# apt-get install build-essential
# apt-get install autotools-dev autoconf
# apt-get install libcurl3 libcurl4-gnutls-dev
Create a directory and download the monero cpuminer software:
# mkdir /downloads
# cd /downloads
# git clone https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi
# cd cpuminer-multi
Use the following commands to compile and install the cpuminer software on your linux computer:
# ./autogen.sh
# CFLAGS="-march=native" ./configure
# make
# make install
MINING MONERO
In order to start mining monero, use the following command:
# minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://xmr.pool.minergate.com:45560 -u [email protected] -p x
- You need to change the username [email protected] from the command above to the username that you created on the minergate website.
