In this post I will show you how to mine ethereum using the CPU of your linux computer using a software called ethminer.

• We are using Ubuntu server version 16. (64 bits)
• A processor with AES support will mine more ethereum.
• We are using the MINERGATE minig pool
• Minergate will charge you a small percentage of your mining profits, something like 1.5%
