Work in Progress, but should be usable

Limitations

Currently only AMD and CPU miners are tested

Prerequisites

  • Powershell Core (Latest Release: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/tag/v6.2.0).
  • Get the relevant version for your distribution. On HiveOS you can check which Ubuntu release it is based on using cat /etc/os-release
  • Install using dpkg -i powershell-xxx.deb; apt install -f
  • Tested on Ubuntu 18.04, Linux Mint 19.1, HiveOS
  • Packages required: p7zip-full (for unpacking the downloaded miners)
  • AMD Drivers: AMDGPU-PRO drivers require kernel 4.15.0 currently. ROCm Drivers untested, and many miners don't support it
  • To install the drivers on Mint or Ubuntu 19.10, you must (temporary) set the following values in /etc/os-release
ID=ubuntu
VERSION_ID="18.04"
  • Read the divers documentation for install instructions. I do not provide support for installing drivers, operating systems and other
  • Other configurations may work, but untested. Reports are welcome

AMD Configuration

add to ~/.profile

export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0    # Use 1 if only 3GB video memory is detected. 64bit PTR is slightly slower.
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

NVIDIA Configuration

add to ~/.profile

export CUDA_DEVICE_ORDER='PCI_BUS_ID'

Troubleshooting miners

  • Some miners will require additional packages installed. Most common ones are:

  • libuv1-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libcurl3 libcurl-openssl1.0-dev libssl-dev

  • If miner fails to start, check console.log and error.log in specific miner folder.
