In this post I will show you how to gpu mine ethereum classic using the Geforce GTX GPU of your linux computer and a software called Claymore dual ethereum GPU miner.

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

MINERGATE

Access the MINERGATE website and create an account.

GEFORCE GPU INSTALLATION

Use the following commands to install the required packages to enable the Nvidia Geforce Graphic card on your linux computer.

# mkdir /downloads
# cd /downloads
# wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb
# dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.44-1_amd64.deb
# apt-get update
# apt-get install cuda

After finishing the installation you need to edit the .bashrc file from the root user and add the following lines at its end.

# vi /root/.bashrc
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:$PATH

After finishing the installation, reboot the computer.

# reboot

CLAYMORE DUAL ETHEREUM GPU MINER INSTALLATION

Use the following commands to install the claymore dual gpu miner software on your linux computer.

# apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
# mkdir /downloads/miner
# cd /downloads/miner
# wget https://github.com/nanopool/Claymore-Dual-Miner/releases/download/v9.4/Claymore.s.Dual.Ethereum.Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal.AMD.NVIDIA.GPU.Miner.v9.4.-.LINUX.tar.gz
# tar -zxvf Claymore.s.Dual.Ethereum.Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal.AMD.NVIDIA.GPU.Miner.v9.4.-.LINUX.tar.gz
# echo > epools.txt

MINING ETHEREUM CLASSIC

In order to start mining ethereum classic, use the following command:

# ./ethdcrminer64 -epool http://etc.pool.minergate.com:51777/[email protected] -ewal [email protected]   -epsw x -allpools 1 -mode 1 -allcoins 1 -erate 0erate 0

• You need to change the username [email protected] from the command above to the username that you created on the minergate website.
