Bitcoin Mining and GPU

Interesting in Bitcoin Mining? Check your server GPU size using this command,

root@XXX:~# lspci | grep ' VGA ' | cut -d" " -f 1
0e:0d.0

To get GPU detail information, combine with lscpi command as below,

root@XXX:~# lspci  -v -s  $(lspci | grep ' VGA ' | cut -d" " -f 1)
0e:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] ES1000 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
    Subsystem: Dell ES1000
    Flags: bus master, VGA palette snoop, stepping, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 19
    Memory at d8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
    I/O ports at dc00 [size=256]
    Memory at fc2d0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
    [virtual] Expansion ROM at fc100000 [disabled] [size=128K]
    Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
    Kernel driver in use: radeon
    Kernel modules: radeonfb, radeon

The number of prefetchable is GPU size, using Radeon Card. In this result GPU size is 128M. Not try yet using small GPU size, maybe will get penny BTC since people use GB size using multiple GPU card now. But not too bad, if you have idle servers.

Some people do mining using AWS instance with 8 NVIDIA K80 cards, 32 CPU, 20GB /root storage. If you have ready, download BFGMiner and install it. Last thing, make sure you have BTC Wallet. Coinbase can't support for direct mining wallet, need to create JAXX's wallet.

Last thing, join the mining pool in SlushPool, and create NewWorker. Start to mining!
