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

# 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.

Good evening,
I already follow all steps added in article. Unfortunately doesn't work for me. I have installed the latest version of GUI from Minergate and now I can only mine with CPU (i5 CPU latest model).
After I try to start to mine ETC, and I use in terminal specific command I obtain 2 message:
I must to specified that on my rig I have 4 GPU's NVidia (Gigabyte 1060 6Gb) and 2 GPU's AMD (Gigabyte RX580 8Gb). As operating system I use Ubuntu 16.04.3 on 64 bit.
Other info which can be useful for you: NVidia X Server Settings appear as "Prime Profiles" Intel (Power Saving mode).
Regarding to AMD, I cannot install the latest driver (dedicate to mining) because doesn't recognize the command: ./amdgpu-pro-install -y
I hope that you can help me to make it my rig work. Also I am sure that other people receive the same problem. I think missing from somewhere some very important step (only my opinion).
I waiting with higher interest your feedback.
Keep in touch.
Kind regards.
