Installing XMR-STAK on Ubuntu with NVidia 1080TI

How-To guide for installing XMR-STAK on Ubuntu 16.04.04 for Mining LOKI

I prefer linux (more specifically Ubuntu) for mining, and have preferred linux since I began mining in 2012/2013. I was finally fed up with Windows 10 mining of Loki after the most recent set of Windows updates broke several of my rigs. So I used a small ubuntu rig that I used for testing, and was able to install the XMR-STAK app onto it. As happy as ever to be able to mine Loki now with Ubuntu, I thought I should put together this quick guide and hope that it may be beneficial to others. Some of the steps are from github, some are from other sites, some I had found myself. This is a central place to get you up and running without having to look too far.

For this guide I am assuming you already have a mining rig built with the following:

Ubuntu 16.04.04

NVidia 1080TI Cards

Loki Wallet already downloaded, installed, and the wallet address ready

I am going to run the commands logged in as sudo to make this quick and easy

Now, onto the guide:

sudo bash

apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential libhwloc-dev screen

mkdir /miner && mkdir /miner/drivers

git clone https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak.git

mkdir xmr-stak/build

cd xmr-stak/build

cmake ..

make install

cd /miner/drivers/xmr-stak/build/bin/

./xmr-stak

You will need to insert a port for monitoring the progress. I use port 30131 and press Enter

Next type in cryptonight_heavy and press Enter

For the pool address, I use loki.ingest.cryptoknight.cc:7733 press Enter

Your username will be your wallet address, for example

LChtjHqr29p5FojLdMtcUW5ApLWyQHH5j4366V78YECEjUkgK99Y7uLDVLpHjXpYM3UcZ39FFL5Gvd4debF95mcJHbnx5ke

The password will be your worker name. For example mine is Miner23

Your Rig Identifier can be empty, so just press Enter

Input N for TLS and press Enter

Insert N for Nicehash and press Enter

Input N for multiple pools and press Enter

Select Yes when prompted

Mining will begin!

Once you see it mining properly, hit CTRL + C to cancel the mining. You will want to run it in screen, so you can disconnect from the terminal and the miner will continue to run. To do that run:

screen ./xmr-stak

It will run and you can now disconnect from your putty session or whatever way you are logged in. If you want to reconnect to your terminal at any time, run the following and you can see your miner running

screen -r

That’s it! Thanks for reading!

XMR-STAK Error using NVidia 1080TI Cards

How-To fix NVidia 1080TI – XMR-STAK Thread Error

I have been seeing the following error pop-up when you run XMR-STAK for the first time while using NVidia 1080TI cards

[CUDA] Error gpu 1: <C:/xmr-stak/xmrstak/backend/nvidia/nvcc_code/cuda_extra.cu>:312
**suggestion: Try to reduce the value of the attribute ‘threads’ in the NVIDIA config file.**

There is a simple way to resolve this error. Open up the directory that you used to launch xmr-stak.exe

if you are mining with NVidia cards, open up the nvidia.txt file.

[AMD steps are similar to this. You would just open the amd.txt file instead]

For each of the GPUs listed within the txt file, you will need to Lower the number of Threads on this line:

“threads” : 26, “blocks” : 84,

I would recommend lowering them in half for all of your GPUs

“threads” : 13, “blocks” : 84,

Save the file

Re-Launch xmr-stak.exe and try to mine with it.

If it works you will then incrementally raise the threads to the level which your mining rig can support.

That’s it! Thanks for reading

Benchmarking uses hand-optimized kernel code by default.
You can use it in your cracking session by setting the -O option.
Note: Using optimized kernel code limits the maximum supported password length.
To disable the optimized kernel code in benchmark mode, use the -w option.

VCRUNTIME140.DLL Error When Running XMR-STAK

Crypto, Mining, Operating System, Windows 10

How-To fix the VCRUNTIME140.DLL error

The VCRUNTIME140.DLL error seems all too common when mining on Windows 10 computers. I recently came across it on a system that I manage. I was trying to install, configure, and run XMR-STAK so we could mine LOKI with it and figured that if it is affecting me, it is probably affecting others.

So here is the fix….

Download and install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package from here :

And you can now run and install XMR-STAK
