Bitcoin Mining in Ubuntu
Get a Wallet
Coinbase has the best wallets around! Please use this link cause I get $5 referal bonus.
Locate a mine
A coal miner isn't any good without a coal mine.
Go to the mine list and pick one nearby.
It needs to be BTC, cause we're mining bit coins, none of this other jank.
You'll want to copy the URL, for instance is working like a charm.
Employ a Miner
Download the latest cg miner : the name will end in
...extract it into your workspace and run it. For instance:
cd workspace mkdir my_btc_miner # btc stands for bitcoins, like USD is dollarscd my_btc_miner # Replace this example url with the latest one wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-3.4.2-x86_64-built.tar.bz2 bunzip2 cgminer<tab> tar xf cgminer<tab>cd cgminer<tab> DISPLAY=:0 ./cgminer --user <Your Coinbase Wallet ID> --pass anonymous --intensity 9 --url <Website from the mine list>
pass can be anything, but it can't be blank
intensity of 9 is better than the default 4; like WD40 for your pickaxe.
user is a wallet id, mine is and if you use it I'll pay you back
DISPLAY=:0 might not even be needed, I just saw it recommended severalplaces
