Hi,

CUDA/GPU mining on Linux


I've been mining on a windows rig, to check my hardware. It runs on windows. Now I'm ready to get my Linux rigs running. I've been running several rigs using CUDA / Ubuntu servers, headless and multiple GPU's without problems. BOINC and other stuff. Now I want these rigs to mine. So I know about ubuntu server, know how to get a >Linux rig to run using multiple GPU's, I know about CUDA - what I dont know is hos to install the miner on Ubuntu and the command to run it. I've written down the info from the widows rig mining, regarding my bitcoin address and, the server, port, host etc. and I believe it's about the same that I need to run it on Linux. So, if there's a helpful fellow inhere, who would give me a few examples on how to:

1. How to install the miner/miners on Linux/Debian/Ubuntu..
2. A couple of examples on the command CLI to solomine and mine in a pool.
3. Which miners would you suggest as the best? It seems that the best results so far has been T-Rex NVIDIA GPU Miner and then GMiner.

Algorithm: I want to use (I think) Equihash 144.5
Host: stratum://zhash.eu.nicehash.com:3369
User: MyBitcoinAddress.worker1

I've read about running on Linux on NiceHash' site, but I do need some info here. What about a couple of sample CLI commands to show how you run the miner. Apparently nicehash think that ccminer is the one when using nvidia cards.

echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev git automake
git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer.git
cd ccminer/
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -march=native"
make
./ccminer

But I still need those samples of the command to run the miner using my info. So that I can put it into crontab. And is there a config file to do first? Can I run several miners? I read that theres a watchdog made now, and it would be very nice to know how to do this too.

The reason I want to use Linux is that I've been making a lot of shellscripts which watches over each CPU core, each GPU and controls and handles temperature issues. I'm getting warned if stuff heats up and if it gets to hot the system will shutdown. So please, point me in the right direction Wink

Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated


Kind Regards,
Dan
