Easy Ubuntu python OpenCL mining setup
Friar:
I've gone through this installation process, but I seem to be spending most of the time downloading blocks.
Also, is there somewhere that defines what the command line arguments are? Can I use my GPU and both CPU cores? How can I look in my wallet?

Guys,
I would like to update this thing a bit, look:

Do not use Ubuntu 11.04 with NVidia cards! The poclbm.py/python process will consume all of your CPU for nothing. This behavior does not exist in Ubuntu 10.10.

The poclbm in Ubuntu 10.10 does not consume 100% of CPU, but Xorg does if you try to use the mining machine as a daily Desktop... :-\
New procedure:
Code:
cd ~
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stretch/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-pyopencl subversion git-core bitcoin
svn checkout http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk/python-jsonrpc
cd ~/python-jsonrpc/
sudo python setup.py install
cd ~
mkdir ~/.bitcoin
echo "rpcuser=user" > .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
echo "rpcpassword=password" >> .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
bitcoin -server &
git clone https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm.git
cd ~/poclbm
python poclbm.py -d 0 --user user --pass password
You can change the command:
Code:
bitcoin -server &
to:
Code:
bitcoind -daemon
...if you do not want the GUI interface of Bitcoin client.
Advantages of this approach:
1- To upgrade Bitcoin client, just run:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
2- To upgrade poclbm, just run:
Code:
cd ~/poclbm
git pull
3- To upgrade python-jsonrpc, run:
Code:
cd ~/python-jsonrpc/
svn up
# If there is a new version:
sudo python setup.py install
cd ~
That's it!
Cheers!
Thiago

http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk/python-jsonrpc - Error 404.
P.S. Ubuntu sucks.
