Linux Automatic Update Tutorial

1. Acquire sub-account

In order to earn qus, one must mine to a sub-account. Head over to https://www.apool.io to finish email registration.

Apool will allocate a sub-account automatically under your name. Check out your sub-account name in 'My miners' page.

2. Download the mining software

• Download link：https://github.com/apool-io/apoolminer/releases

• Extract the file with the comand：

tar zxf apoolminer_linux_autoupdate_v2.7.1.tar.gz

3. Modify the configuration file miner.conf and change the account to your own.

If you need to adjust other parameters, remove the # comment and modify the corresponding values according to the parameter description.

algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334

#worker=my_worker
#cpu-off=false
#thread=4
#gpu-off=false
#gpu=0,1,2
#mode=1

third_miner = "zkminer"
third_cmd = "./zkminer -a CP_xxxx -w my_worker -s aleo1.hk.apool.io -p 9090"

algo=qubic
account=my_sub_account
pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334

#worker=my_worker
#cpu-off=false
#thread=4
#gpu-off=false
#gpu=0,1,2

third_miner = "./aleo_prover --pool aleo.asia1.zk.work:10003 --pool aleo.hk.zk.work:10003 --pool aleo.jp.zk.work:10003 --address aleo1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --custom_name %WORKER_NAME%"

solo=<url:port>	Specify the proxy address, Required in solo mining
worker=<name>	Specify the worker name. The name consists of numbers and letters and cannot exceed 15 characters in length
gpu=<indexes>	Specify the index of GPU. If you’re only running on specific GPUs, please spell out explicitly, example: gpu=0,1,2, If you run all GPUs, you don’t need to configure them.
thread=<num>	Specify the number of CPU thread [default: 0, use all threads]
cpu-off=<true/false>	If you don’t want to use CPU, please configure it to True.
gpu-off=<true/false>	If you don’t want to use GPU, please configure it to True.

Configuration file example

• Configuration files for mining with GPU and CPU (Recommended mining configuration for all resources)

  algo=qubic
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334

• Configuration files for mining with GPU only

  algo=qubic
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
  cpu-off=true

• Configuration files for mining with CPU only

  algo=qubic
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
  gpu-off=true

• Configuration files for mining with GPU and open hybrid mode

  algo=qubic
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
  cpu-off=true
  mode=1

• Configuration files for mining with CPU and specify the number of CPU thread

  algo=qubic
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:3334
  gpu-off=true
  thread=8

5.Run and shutdown

• Select the execution script according to your needs

  • Autoupgrade Start command

Autoupgrade Start command

• If you want to run an automatic upgrade of apoolminer, you can execute the upgrade_and_run.sh script

nohup bash upgrade_and_run.sh 2>&1 &

• Manually operated Start command

Manually operated Start command

• If you do not need to automatically upgrade apoolminer, you can execute the run.sh script

bash run.sh

6. View apoolminer log

tail -f qubic.log

7.shutdown apoolminer command

killall -9 apoolminer

8.shutdown autoupgrade script

If you are running an automatic upgrade script, use the following command to shutdown and it will no longer be upgraded.

for i in $(ps aux|grep "upgrade_and_run"|grep -v grep |awk '{print $2}'); do sudo kill -9 $i; done
