With the Debian version on the the hardware I tried (the C.H.I.P. I tried setting this up using ARM-based Linux Single Board Computers (e.g. If so, go through the instructions in the Github repository. It may be that your Bitcoin miner isn't supported with the pre-built binary for Ubuntu, and you'll instead have to compile from source. THe cgminer version available that way is modern enough to support the Antminer U3 out of the box.

#CGMINER SOFTWARE INSTALL#

On x86 Ubuntu you can install it from the package manager $ apt- cache search cgminerĬgminer - multi-threaded multi-pool Bitcoin miner If you want to install cgminer from source, go here: For the wallet address, go to the Settings area of the mining pool and enter the address in the appropriate place.

The address might look like 1MKQ2HaCU6SPT4aYqEv8tKeYpXdgjjanzG - Feel free to use that address if you like, since that's my wallet.įor now just record these parameters somewhere. That address is provided by your wallet provider. This is a Bitcoin address for your wallet. The next configuration is to set up a payment address. Please, feel free to connect your hardware to my account. But you will not get any economic benefit, I will. There's no password, and your hardware will connect and start computing hashes. If you like, feel free to connect to Slushpool using my username.

Slushpool doesn't care what password you use. I lied, that's four pieces of configuration. The worker name for the particular piece of hardware - such as worker1.The username for your account with the mining pool - such as reikiman.URL that's to be used to connect with the mining pool - such as stratum+tcp://:3333.What you'll need is three items of configuration to connect your mining hardware to the mining pool. The mining pool you choose may have different policies than this. That's because the computational difficulty has grown to where a CPU is simply unable to do the TeraHashes/Second that is now typical. One thing to note is their warning that ASIC Miners are the only way to go in the current Bitcoin mining landscape. Their help center has a beginners guide that's useful. Several mining pools exist, and in this case we'll use the Slushpool.ī/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools Since it's completely impractical for an individual bitcoin mining hardware to compete in the current mining landscape it's necessary to connect your hardware to a mining pool. The hardware that successfully completes this computational task wins that block of Bitcoin, and then the Bitcoin network silently moves on to computing the next coin. The mining hardware runs the computations to prove a new block on the Bitcoin Blockchain. Chunks of data is distributed over the Internet to mining hardware. Bitcoins are 'mined' by a distributed computation process. You may already know this - but a little basic preview.
