This blog post will walk you through how to mine Ethereum and to make the post as focused as possible, couple of assumptions first:You have a working knowledge about what’s Ethereum and miningWorking rig with GPUs capable of miningYou have an Ethereum address where you want to send your mined ETHI’m running on Arch so my commands might be slightly different than yoursIts worth noting that you can actually mine using just your CPU but its going to be very slow, so much so that its pointless if you’re really serious about mining. Anyway, there are three ways that I know how to mine Ethereum:Running your own rig connected to your own nodeRunning your own rig connected to mining poolHire a mining serviceOf those three, I’ve only have personal experience with the first two and that’s what we’re going to look at.DriversBefore we can run the miner, we need drivers for our GPU. I have an NVIDIA GTX 1060 so I’m going to install the nvidia driver, cuda (NVIDIA’s programming toolkit) and opencl-nvidia (NVIDIA’s implementation of OpenCL):$ yaourt -S nvidia cuda opencl-nvidiaThis will let us run the miner either via OpenCL or Cuda.MinerWe’re going to use ethminer, so lets install it:$ yaourt -S ethminerThen we can run the simulation to test the miner is working, first lets simulate using CUDA:$ ethminer -U -Mand then OpenCL:$ ethminer -G -MIf you don’t see any error, then we’re ready to mine.via own nodeFirst we’re going to see how to mine using our own Ethereum node. This requires running an Ethereum client, we’re going to use the official go implementation called geth so lets install it:$ yaourt -S gethTo be able to run your own node requires that you fully sync your node with the Ethereum network, that means downloading all the transactions since genesis (the first ever block). At the time of writing, my fully synced local node’s size is around 27.5 GB. When you first start geth, it’ll sync with the network and that could take a while but you only need to do this once. If you always keep your node connected, it’ll always be synced, if you stop it for couple of days for example, you’ll have to sync whatever data happened in between again since the last you synced. Note that you can’t run the miner until your node is fully synced.$ geth --rpc --rpccorsdomain localhost --etherbase Don’t forget to pass your actual address where you want Ethers to be sent to. Then finally, lets run the miner:$ ethminer -GNotice we didn’t pass anything except for the flag that we want to run the miner using OpenCL. The miner uses the default RPC url to find the RPC server
