Headless Mining RVN with Z-Enemy on Ubuntu 18.04

Using NVIDIA 1080 TI Cards, Ubuntu Server 18.04, and Z-Enemy 1.26 to Mine Raven

Here is the quick installation notes on how to mine Raven.  My hashrate has almost doubled over running ccminer, on the same coin and same pool.

Log into the rig

sudo bash

apt-get -y install libcurl3

mkdir /miner && mkdir /miner/drivers && mkdir /miner/drivers/z-enemy
cd /miner/drivers/z-enemy

wget

tar zxvf z-enemy-1.26-cuda100-Linux.tar.gz

nano Raven.sh

Insert the following into the file#

#!/bin/sh

nvidia-smi -pm 1
nvidia-smi -acp 0
nvidia-smi -pl 300
sleep 2
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

./z-enemy -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://ravenminer.com:3636 -u RMzHAFgqgjV5qLkajBjLQ325V7HWBpG3d9 -p d=16 -i 20

CTRL + X to Save and Exit

chmod +x Raven.sh

./Raven.sh

You are now mining! Thanks for reading!

How to Mine Ravencoin on Windows

Here is the quick and dirty:

Install the latest NVIDIA drivers:
https://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/Windows/417.22/417.22-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe&lang=us&type=TITAN

Reboot

Download and install Visual Studio Community Edition
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

Install the software

Reboot

Now you will want to Download CUDA 10
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Windows&target_arch=x86_64&target_version=10&target_type=exelocal

Select Windows > x86_64 > 10 > exe (local)

Download z-enemy 1.26 from here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3378390.0       

Or direct from this link:
!hOQyzS5T!MNgW0srchmQHSgbpM5D0nKaiABG_6l44i-MYF-iUeEA

Extract the files to your Desktop

Find the mining pool/coin combination that you want to use

Right click on the batch file

Select Edit

Insert your wallet address in place of the currently listed wallet

Save the file and Exit

Double Click on the Batch file, and your miner will begin

Monitor it for a while, and adjust as necessary, then let it run without interference

Installing TPRUVOT’s CCMiner on Ubuntu 16.04

How-to Guide for Installing the Linux version of ccminer (tpruvot) on Ubuntu 16.04.04

This is a quick guide that I created a few months back.  It gets the latest version of tpruvot’s ccminer installed and running on your Ubuntu mining rig.  There are a lot of algos which can use this, and since most of my rigs run on linux, I had to find a way to get it installed.  It is the general commands that I use from a terminal.  The assumption here is that you already have Ubuntu 16.04 installed and updated.  It is also assumed that you are running NVidia 1080Ti cards, and they are all functional.  I am going to run it all logged in as sudo to make it quick and easy.

From the terminal:

sudo bash

apt-get dist-upgade

apt-get purge nvidia*

reboot

mkdir /drivers && mkdir /drivers/nvidia

wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/9.1/Prod/local_installers/cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux

mv cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux.run

chmod +x cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux.run

sh cuda_9.1.85_387.26_linux.run

Answer “yes” for installing the nvidia-drivers, the cuda tools and the symbolic link.

apt-get install git automake openssl libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

cd /drivers/

git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer.git

cd ccminer

nano Makefile.am

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-9.1/bin:$PATH

CTRL & X

Insert the following into the file:

./ccminer -a x16r -i 20 -o stratum+tcp://us.bsod.pw:2176 -u RMzHAFgqgjV5qLkajBjLQ325V7HWBpG3d9 -p c=RVN

CTRL & X

chmod +x start.sh

./start.sh

You are now up and mining.  I have chosen Raven for this one, only since I was mining it when I put it together.  You will want to remove my wallet address and insert your own.  Otherwise, the rest will get your rig up and running.

Happy Mining!
