Hey
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but I have an Nvidia card.
You might give XMR-STAK-AMD a try (
https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-amd ) or ccminer-cryptonight (
https://github.com/KlausT/ccminer-cryptonight ).
Also, I haven't attempted to install it or otherwise verify this but there seem to be virus or trojan warnings regarding the Claymore Cryptonote GPU miner -- so it's probably best to avoid that one.
1) If you use Nvidia and Ubuntu compile your miners.
Pro: You can also test the different branches for different driver versions.
2) You get with all official downloads the virus warnings because they were used with some exploit to mine.
Doesn't matter i its win or linux based there are many security issues per month.
3) Get your miners running with max performance without using sudo (memory áccess settings etc.)
4) Update your Ubuntu at least once a week: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
5) If you don't know how to compile read the frontpage of github.
I use currently following 3 but there are also others these are just examples don't copy and paste read and check if they are trustworthy :
xmr.stak-miner
ccminer2.? (i use an mixed Version with nearly all available coins integrated. Dont forget cuda and compiling it with extension --cuda etc)
Claymore Cryptonote DUAL GPU miner -> for ETH+LBRY so wont tell here^^
Example:
xmr.stak-miner:
sudo apt-get git (if you don' t have git installed)
change to the directory where you want the github files:
git clone
https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu.git (one version with donating 1%)
change into the new xmr-stak directory
sudo apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential
cmake .
make install -> binary is in folder /bin
make it executable, change the settings et voila
improve it by using the memory extensions described in the config file, don't sudo!
You can once to check what speed you can achieve with correct settings. Intel i5/i7 from 2nd gen onwards have all around 5H/W 140H-180H/s(calculated on CPU only power draw)
If you need an example for your nvidia card I can pm it in detail or post it here, type of card would help a lot.
But it will be an example not the best performance, that one needs your own testing. And the sources and settings need to be checked by you always. I'm just a unknown person giving you highly likely bad security advice^^
And just for the fun of ubuntu users if your nvidida drivers are cracked after an "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" like I had just now:
sudo apt-get install gdm
sudo service gdm restart
1.4Khs scrap junck system is back to sumo ^^
heh .) I'm assuming threads run as the superuser/admin would have higher priority (at the kernel? if that's an accurate way to look at it).
