Title: mining on linux server Post by: jo057516 on August 26, 2011, 03:32:14 AM After I ssh into my server, what do I do?
Which miner should I be using, and how do I implement it on the server? It will be cpu mining, which I know is not terribly practical, but I would just like to learn a bit and mess around. Thanks.

In theory you can mine with the standard bitcoin client... just pop into the bitcoin.conf and add: gen=1 That would kick in the built in miner in the bitcoin client... it will show you the hash rate in the client gui. setting it to gen=0 would disable it. If you do grab a card and start playing around I find these guides helped me get the basics of what I needed with an ati/amd card... to be honest I could never get a good combination of temp/mhash using various sdks the way I liked and went back to a win7 64bit to mine with http://bitcointalk.org/?topic=7514.0 Have fun mining... keep an eye on the canary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_Canary#Miner.27s_canary) Title: Re: mining on linux server Post by: jo057516 on August 26, 2011, 04:50:31 PM That link looks really helpful.
