Mining Ethereum with CGMINER: Starting Guide
As a cryptocurrency fan, he probably does not know the mining world. With the rise of Ethereum and other Altco, the yield has become an indispensable part of all blockchain ecosystems. However, the miner setting and configuration can be awesome for beginners. In this article, we examine how to set the Centos6 x64 cgminer with OPENCL support.
What is cgminer?
Cgminer is a popular open source mining software that allows users to dig cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum with their own computer (CPU or GPU). Unlike the full -imposed mining platforms that require significant hardware and expertise, CGMiner is designed for amateurs and beginners. This provides the user -friendly interface to configure extraction settings, track progress, and troubleshooting problems.
Why should OpenCL be used?
OpenCL (Compute Library) is an API that allows the software to directly access hardware resources. In this case, OPENCL is used to take advantage of GPU’s capabilities. By using OpenCL, CGMINER can use parallel performance processing power to accelerate yield processes.

cgminer setup
To start setting Cgminer:
: Install Cgminer software using OpenCL drivers:
`Bash
Sudo Yum Install Epel Liberation
SUDO YUM Install GCC-C ++ Libopen1
SUDO SUDO CP /USR/LIB/EPEL-LEEse/rpms/*.epel-7/x86_64/openscissors-2.0-2.x86_64.rpm/usr/lipl1
Replace “/USR/Lib/LIB/Epel edition/RPMS/*. EPEL-7/X86_64/OPENSCISSORS-3.2.0-2.x86_64.RPMwith the actual OpenCL RPM file drive.
: This sets the basic settings of the extraction process.
Configuration of cgminer with OpenCL support
To activate OpenCL support in CGMINER, you must configure the following:
nano ') and add the following lines:
Bash
Configuration of the OpenCL driver
Enter the OpenCL driver file
cp /usr/lib/epel-release/rpms/*.epel-7/x86_64/openscissors-2.0-2.x86_64
Activate OpenCL support
OpenCl.enabled = TRUE
Set up the OpenCL driver's tracking path
Opencl.driver.path = "/usr/lib/epel-relase/rpms/*.epel-7/x86_64/openscissors-2.0-2.x86_64.rpm"
2.
`Bash
SUDO Systemctl Restart Cgminer
Troubleshooting and observation
You can use tools such as “mpstat” or HTOP “to correct the miner’s problems. These commands help to monitor the use of the system processor and GPU.
Mpstat -c
: shows statistics for the entire system of all devices.Htop
: Command line interface for ‘htop’, which provides a more detailed overview of the use of system resources.Following these steps, you should be able to set and configure Centos6 x64 cgminer with OpenCL support. This setting allows you to dig an Ethereum using GPU without requireing significant hardware or expertise. Happy yield!
