At the time of writing this smOS does not have a miner capable of mining the x16r algorithm. There is a compiled binary of ccminer-x16r on HiveOS that can easily be copied to smOS.
Download the latest version of HiveOS and make a HiveOS USB. I prefer Etcher.
Insert the HiveOS USB into your rig that is running smOS and either from the console or a ssh session enter the following commands:
#find device id for HiveOS
miner@simpleminer:~$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sdb 8:16 1 7.5G 0 disk
├─sdb2 8:18 1 7G 0 part
└─sdb1 8:17 1 20M 0 part
sda 8:0 1 57.3G 0 disk
├─sda2 8:2 1 6.7G 0 part /
└─sda1 8:1 1 9M 0 part /mnt/user
In the example above sda is smOS mounted at / and sdb has two partitions unmounted so this is likely HiveOS. The 7G partition is the one we want.
Mount the HiveOS partition:
# make a directory to mount it to
sudo mkdir /mnt/hiveos
# mount the partition
sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/hiveos #replace sdb2 with whatever your 7G unmounted partition is.
- Copy ccminer-rvn from HiveOS to smOS:
sudo cp /mnt/hiveos/hive/ccminer/ccminer-rvn /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/
# rename the skunk ccminer
sudo mv /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer-skunk-krnlx
# create a symlink to the new x16r miner
sudo ln -s /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer-rvn /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer
- Unmount HiveOS:
sudo umount /mnt/hiveos
sudo rmdir /mnt/hiveos
- Log into simplemining.net and configure your miner.
# Example. Replace my address with yours and a pool of your choosing.
-a x16r -o stratum+tcp://stratum.threeeyed.info:3333 -u RK6hrz1T9waV1HFM3hMvSP4w2TaU2EZHPV -p $rigName
The x16r algorithm is an unusual one that may require you to reduce your overclock settings down to stock. I suggest a quick google search on mining x16r with ccminer.
Going to test this out today - Will give you credit and link the internet's to this post once we get it working.
Thanks BBT! FYI, someone pointed out to me that the 'ccminer-tpruvot-v2.2.5-cuda8.0' in smOS supports x16r. https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/blob/linux/README.txt
