Cuda Mining
To get started you need the following
- A Veriblock wallet address to hold your coins.
- A Mining rig, this can be:
- A laptop with a Nvidia GTX or Tesla Graphics card
- A PC Computer with a Nvidia GTX / RTX / Tesla Graphics card(s)
- Windows or Linux operating system
- The Appropriate Mining Software
Download the wallet from here: Veriblock nodecore wallet
Download the windows CUDA miner from here: CUDA Windows Miner for multi GPU's and put it in a folder somewhere easy to find. Like c:\mining\veriblock_miner
Once you have copied all the mining software files from the release link into that folder you need to setup the batch file to get the miner to run.
We will need to edit a .bat file that will run the veriblock.exe mining software. Right click on the run.bat file and select edit.
You will see the run.bat file is already setup for a pool address, a wallet address. you will need to change the wallet address to your own wallet.
The syntax in the file is:
veri1.exe -u V8wB8DP56Cs9VrwyrXVsLTQ3e5Ngj5 -o testnet-pool-gpu.veriblock.org:8501 -d 0
Where:
- Veri.exe is the mining program to run
- -u <Wallet_address>
- -o <pool_address:port_number>
- -d the numer device of your Graphics card you want to use (Normally 0 if you have the one graphics card)
Simply double click the run.bat then you will see this:
If you have a mining rig that runs linux and you have the Nvidia SDK 8.0 ++ you can compile and run the veriblock with the following:
git clone https://github.com/monkins1010/nodecore-pow-AMD-cuda-miner.git
You may need to edit the build.sh file and change the default nvcc location , mine is at /usr/bin/nvcc
Next allow your computer to run the build .sh by typing
chmod a+x build.sh
Then
./build.sh
Once built you should run the miner like this
./nodecore_pow_cuda -u V8wB8DP56Cs9VrwyrXVsLTQ3e5Ngj5 -o testnet-pool-gpu.veriblock.org:8501 -d 0
