Setting up Bitcoin Miner
ASIC or FPGA on Mine Pool:

We prefer you set up a mine farm of Antminer. You can buy them from
https://shop.bitmain.com/

Comparison of miners can be found at


https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Instructions to set up the same can be found at


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyXjdm81PhE

CPU or GPU based mining:

If you own a farm of CPUs or GPUs you can set up miners there by following these
instructions.

You can setup a miner instance on Linux instance with graphic cards as miner hardware.

1. Setup a Linux Ubuntu Instance.


2. Download the miner executable from http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/4.10/
3. Make sure the application is available in path.
4. Run using following instructions

Single pool:

cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password

Multiple pools:

cgminer -o http://pool1:port -u pool1username -p pool1password –o http://pool2:port -u pool2usernmae -p


pool2password

Single pool with a standard http proxy:

cgminer -o "http:proxy:port|http://pool:port" -u username -p password

Single pool with a socks5 proxy:

cgminer -o "socks5:proxy:port|http://pool:port" -u username -p password


Single pool with stratum protocol support:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool:port -u username -p password

Solo mining to local bitcoind:

cgminer -o http://localhost:8332 -u username -p password --btc-address

Setting up Ethereum Miner
Ethereum Miner Setup:

Ethereum miners are set up using racks of CPUs and GPUs with the mining powers
combined together. The machines can be run preferably using Linux ubuntu.

Nvidia GTX1080Ti 1900/5000 33 MHs

Miner Setup Instructions:

1. Setup hardware and install Linux Ubuntu/Windows on the PC.


2. Setup Ethereum wallet and generate address.
3. Download the latest miner from https://github.com/ethereum-
mining/ethminer/releases
4. Extract the files
5. Start mining by using the examples here https://github.com/ethereum-
mining/ethminer/blob/master/docs/POOL_EXAMPLES_ETH.md

Notes:
a. We prefer mining with ethermine.org as mine pool.
b. Use your wallet address when running the miners
c. Append ethermine.exe / ethermine before examples depending on which operating
system you’re using.
