MINING ETC ON UBUNTU WITH NVIDIA 1080TI

Recently I had to change the software on my rig. My rig is mining ETC on Ubuntu with NVidia 1080TI cards. I had to change it because claymore was not working the way it should with the site ethermine, hence the need to change mining software from claymore to ethminer. The following guide is how i did it.

Login to the headless rig
sudo bash
cd /
mkdir /miner
cd /miner
wget https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/releases/tag/v0.18.0

Once it downloads you then run
tar -zxvf *.gz
The software will unpack

cd bin
wget https://tacticalware.com/downloads/etc-ethminer.txt
mv etc.txt etc.sh
chmod +x etc.sh
nano etc.sh

Change the wallet address to your wallet
Save the file and Exit
./etc.sh

You should now be mining. Be sure to look at https://etc.ethermine.org/ and monitor your wallet to verify that it is sending data back and forth to the site. It should take about 15 minutes to show up initially, so be patient.
