Here is my quick step-by-step guide on how to setup litecoin mining on an Ubuntu computer with an Nvidia GPU using a miner that is still maintained.
- Download latest release of https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases (Source code)
- unpack files and
cdinto the root directory of the miner - run
./autogen.shthen./configure - run
sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libjansson-dev automake autotools-dev build-essential - run
sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5 - run
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 1 - run
./build.sh
If the last step succeeds, you should be able to start mining litecoins using this command (replace your credentials) :
./ccminer --algo=scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 -u wimantis.donations -p thanks
