I'm using these specs on Google Cloud Engine: You will need to have enough disk space for the blockchain. ℹ️ If you're doing this on AWS or GCP, use a large instance with good network connection then after you finish, dial it down to a smaller instance.įirst, begin by setting up a Ubuntu server. You don't need to be a developer but to support this setup and solo mine for a long enough time to actually mine a block, you need system admin skills (might be wise to find a techie friend who can help admin this setup if this is something new to you) Getting Started Since you'll be running a few services that heavily depend on a reliable network connection. Understanding networking will help as well.
#GPU MINING LITECOIN TUTORIAL INSTALL#
You will also need to install and configure Node Merged Pool which uses Node.js. You will need to install and configure the Litecoin daemon running on Ubuntu. For this tutorial, we will use a Ubuntu 16 virtual machine (I'm use Google Cloud Engine). You should be comfortable working on the command line and using Linux. The Stratum pool used in this tutorial is UNOMP's Node Merged Pool. A4+ LTC Master, Antminer 元+, Gridseed) using HTTP(S). Mining Pool: A server running Stratum protocol that can be connected to by mining rigs (e.g. By running your own node, you serve as a peer in the peer-to-peer network that is Litecoin. Litecoin nodes make up the backbone of the Litecoin network. Litecoin Node: A server running Litecoin Core that maintains it's own blockchain. 🙏 LaY9tLS9DmbW5FXpnXYCSjV元hTB7xyLsQ Definitions 📧 Will get you set up and provide support/training for just 1 LTC! For this tutorial, I used an old Gridseed that I have mining on "lottery" mode with Nice hash. Those who want to buy GPU miners can take Antminer G2 into consideration.This tutorial provides instructions for setting up a Litecoin Node and a mining pool. In 2017, the price increased quickly and it’s very profitable to mine Ethereum with Antminer G2. The only flaw is the noise which can be heard even the door has been closed.Įthereum is very promising. The GPU Antminer G2 runs stably and the actual values of hashrate and power consumption are higher than the nominal ones. The ratio of power consumption and hashrate per M is 5.31W/M. The nominal power consumption is 1200W and the actual tested value is 1222W, which is also a little higher than the nominal value. According to the actual 12-hour test, the hashrate is maintained at about 230M in stable operation, which is slightly higher than the nominal value. The nominal hashrate of Antminer G2 is 220M. Power Consumption of Antminer G2 in Stable Operation The measured noise about 10cm away from the miner is about 90dB while about one meter away the noise is still 80dB. The noise of Antminer G2 is relatively big. The installation and setting-up of Antminer G2 is complicated, please refer to Tutorial: Antminer G2 Ethereum Miner of AMD RX570 GPU Miner In addition, the power switch and reset switch are also there. On the rear side of Antminer G2, there are three fans and multiple interfaces, such as LAN, HDMI and two USB ports. In addition, power interface is also located on this side. Another small fan is used to dissipate heat for the motherboard.

Three fans are installed for heat dissipation for the graphics cards. The air inlet is on the front side of Antminer G2 where the QC label is also attached. The appearance of G2 is metallic silver and it looks very elegant. There’s a small carton inside containing the user’s manual, power cord and spare parts for miner delivery. Open the box we can find both ends of the miner are protected by EPE foams to prevent accidents during transportation. GPU miner, ETH, Zcash and XMR are supported.Īntminer G2 is packed in five-layer industrial carton with complete logistics warehousing label, product barcode and the logo of Antminer G2, its size is almost the same to the conventional computer mainframe. Now, let’s have a look at the performance of Antminer G2! The miner with 8 AMD graphics cards to be introduced today is Antminer G2 produced by BITMAIN, the well-known cryptocurrency ASIC miner manufacturer. Nowadays, AMD and Nvidia are the two types of graphics cards which are most commonly used for mining. However, due to different algorithm settings, some currencies such as Ethereum and ZEC need to be mined with GPU miners currently. The encrypted cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dash can be mined with ASIC miners.
