SLAX cryptominer 0.1 (x64)

[fran2k]

I just saw this on Reddit. Great because I was looking some Linux x64 dedicated mining distro. The only option available was the BAMT 0.5 x64, which is quite old.

hi, i just modified slax linux distro specifically for gpu and cpu mining, i prefer slax because you can run it without any storage device (harddisk or flashdisk) since it can copy itself entirely to run from PC memory, which is cool !

slax-miner-x64-0.1 download-x64 127MB

features :

    only need minimal 512 MB flash disk
    you can run with unpluged flash disk since slax can copy itself to run from computer RAM
    built-in cgminer-3.7.2 with for openCL scrypt and sha256 mining
    built-in jhProtoMiner from yvg1900 all 64-bit variations for cpu mining
    minimal installation only x.org and blackbox desktop, mostly you will need to operate it via SSH anyway

how to install :

    extract the content of .7z file to your formatted flash disk with FAT32 partition
    run [FLASHDISK]\slax\boot\bootinst.bat
    boot from it
    run "aticonfig --lsa" to list your detected gpu
    run "aticonfig --adapter=all --initial" to configure to your gpu setup
    reboot

how to run :

    miner software located at /opt/cgminer and /opt/ptsminer
    you can run example script just by running "start-cgminer" or "start-ptsminer"
    to connect from remote, use ssh client such as putty, login with root, password toor
