Send me some tasty Burst cash! BURST-5MHB-ZHQH-Y2XV-22ZWM

### How to put in creepMiner on a brand new Orange Pi! ### By Crypto Froggie!

### SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER THINGS # You can get an Orange Pi Zero 512MB right here: http://amzn.to/2sJPvZt # I used an 8GB microSD card, additionally want a USB adapter in all probability http://amzn.to/2EJLYQb # I do not advocate a microSD card with lower than 6GB of area # You’ll want a Power Cable: http://amzn.to/2F0fQay # And for barely higher efficiency, warmth sinks: http://amzn.to/2CbgLnm (you may solely use one among them) # The warmth sink I used within the video is a little bit totally different: http://amzn.to/2HEbKDi

### HARD DRIVE SELECTION # For roughly 1 min mining time per block, use a 6TB drive: # WD 6TB My Book (best option for this measurement): http://amzn.to/2EZzF1G # For the perfect TB/$ worth, use a 8TB drive: # Seagate Expansion 8TB (finest worth, but it surely’s SMR): http://amzn.to/2F2caFn # WD 8TB My Book (costlier, needs to be PMR so sooner plots): http://amzn.to/2HD4Y0T # You ought to plot the drive utilizing XPlotter on a special pc! (I exploit the plotter constructed into the Qbundle pockets) # I do not present plotting within the video, that will likely be for an additional time!

# Orange Pi Setup: http://lucsmall.com/2017/01/19/beginners-guide-to-the-orange-pi-zero/ # I used Armbian/Debian Stretch dev construct

sudo apt-get replace sudo apt-get improve

# You needs to be utilizing Stretch to get a cmake model over 3.2 # Otherwise, use the information right here for compiling cmake: http://osdevlab.blogspot.com/2015/12/how-to-install-latest-cmake-for.html sudo apt-get set up cmake

# I verified set up of git, python utilizing apt-get

# We must make a 2GB swap file # After we’re achieved you may take away it! # If it’s a must to restart you Pi for any cause, you may rerun the swapon command to reenable the swap dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/swapfile bs=1M depend=2048 chmod 600 /root/swapfile mkswap /root/swapfile swapon /root/swapfile

# Install pip wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py python get-pip.py

# Install Conan pip set up conan

# Clone the creepMiner supply git clone https://github.com/Creepsky/creepMiner.git

# Change to root of the supply cd creepMiner

# Use Conan to put in Poco (and all the opposite dependencies which are in all probability lacking) # If conan fails due to ‘Connection reset by peer’, simply run the command once more conan set up . -s compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11 –build=lacking

# Now we will run CMake cmake CMakeLists.txt -DMINIMAL_BUILD=ON -DUSE_SSE4=OFF

# And lastly make # Because of the warmth throttling on the Orange Pi, I do not use the -j possibility on make

make make set up

# I restarted the system right here to try to repair connectivity with the arduous drive shutdown now -r

# Plug your plotted arduous drive into the system # Check the connected drive standing lsblk

# Make the mount level and mount the drive # If you plotted the drive on Windows, the system would possibly inform you it is ‘fixing’ the drive mkdir /media/drive-a mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/drive-a/

# Now we have to load the config for creepMiner # The file must be positioned right here, substitute the model quantity in as wanted

# I deleted the file and duplicate/pasted a contemporary copy simply to make certain rm /root/.creepMiner/1.7.16/mining.json nano /root/.creepMiner/1.7.16/mining.json

# Copy and paste the defaults into the config from https://github.com/Creepsky/creepMiner/wiki/Setting-up-the-miner # We must make a number of edits: # Change the pool connection info to your pool! # Change depth to three # Change maxBufferSize to round 80% of your Orange Pi’s reminiscence (mine is the 512 MB mannequin) # Change the plots to incorporate your plots, for me this was including: “/media/drive-a/Burst” # Save the file with Ctrl X after which enter Y adopted by Enter

# I broke with custom and partially as a result of I did not perceive the instructions: # I moved the run.sh file, chmod it, and modified it

cp ~/creepMiner/assets/run.sh chmod u+x ~/run.sh nano ~/run.sh

# Modify the final line to be: /root/creepMiner/bin/creepMiner

# Run the miner from ~/

./run.sh

# If it failed it gives you the placement of the mining.conf it tried to seek out # Use this to right the placement of your config file

# If you wish to run in indifferent mode, use the identical directions for ./run.sh on ./display.sh # I like to only Ctrl-Z, sort bg 1, sort disown and neglect about it # You in all probability will not be utilizing this for anything whereas it is mining hehe
