In this post I will show you how to mine ethereum classic 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 classic
- We are using the MINERGATE minig pool
- Minergate will charge you a small percentage of your mining profits, something like 1.5%
MINERGATE
First, you will need to create an account at MINERGATE
ETHMINER INSTALLATION
Use the following commands to install the ethminer software on your linux computer.
# apt-get update
# apt-get install software-properties-common
# add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
# apt-get update
# apt-get install ethminer
MINING ETHEREUM CLASSIC
In order to start mining ethereum, use the following command:
# ethminer -C -F http://etc.pool.minergate.com:55751/[email protected] --disable-submit-hashrate
- You need to change the username [email protected] from the command above to the username that you created on the minergate website.
