How to CPU mine Myriadcoin using Linux Ubuntu
Get a wallet address.
Go to www.myriadcoin.org/ and get a wallet address. It'll look like: MRAng8ak71xqEs2Z8JBReh6h8thpj62u5J
Good resource, for doge, but good: https://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/kq8j38/dogecoin_mining/
Set up the mining operation.
mkdir miner // name it whatever
cd miner
sudo apt-get install build-essential automake libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev libgmp-dev zlib1g-dev git // sets up stuff
git clone github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt.git // gets the miner cpuminer-opt
cd cpuminer-opt
./build.sh //builds things
./cpuminer -a yescrypt -o stratum+tcp://yescrypt.na.mine.zpool.ca:6233 -u MRAng8ak71xqEs2Z8JBReh6h8thpj62u5J -p c=XMY,zap=XMY // this will start the mining, but screen and cpulimit should be installed (below); change the “MRAng...” to your XMY address
To get get the line above, I partially used the tool at zpool.ca called “Stratum generator” on the front page.
=========================================
Once mining is set up, add some extra programs.
screen is essential with VPS to keep the screen running, else it'll stop when the SSH is closed
The purpose is to run it on its own screen, leave it detached, and it limits the cpu of the miner so it doesn't use all the cpu power.
apt-get install screen // this installs the screen program; I had to “sudo” to make it work
To use screen, type:
screen // and hit enter (goes to info page), hit enter again...you're in a new screen
screen -ls // shows the screen(s) running and their number/ID
do whatever you wish on this screen, likely it's to start the bot
ctrl+a ctrl+d // this “detaches” from that screen (it leaves it running)
Also useful:
screen -r 123456 // reattaches to the screen number 123456 so you can work on it again
exit // closes it out
If you're attached to a screen you don't want:
screen -d 123456
To list “jobs” just type
jobs // this helps sometimes when you're stuck
Also, there is "cpulimit".
cpulimit sets the max CPU rate so you don't use all your CPU power mining. To get it:
sudo apt-get install cpulimit
cpulimit -e cpuminer -l 25 // the last number (25 here) is the % cpu to max out
