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.top 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

  • Extract the file with the comand๏ผš

tar zxf apoolminer_linux_autoupdate_v2.9.2.tar.gz

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

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 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
  • Connect using SSL/TLS encryption

    algo=qubic
    account=my_sub_account
    pool=qubic1.hk.apool.io:2334
    gpu-off=true

5.Run and shutdown

  • Select the execution script according to your needs

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
  • 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
