Linux Automatic Update Tutorial

1. First modify the configuration file miner.conf and change the account to your own.

In order to earn ore, 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_v2.4.1.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=ore
account= my_sub_account
pool=ore1.hk.apool.io:9092

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

4.apoolminer miner.conf Parameter Description

Param	Description
algo=<qubic/aleo>	Specify algorithm, default configuration is qubic , Required
account=<string>	Specify your sub-account(CP_xxx) in pool mining or Specify your wallet address in solo mining, Required
pool=<url:port>	Specify the proxy address, Required in pool mining
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.
mode=<0/1>	Mining mode, 0 is normal mode, 1 is hybrid mode [default: 0],please make sure that the system has enough memory configuration in mode 1.

Configuration file example

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

  algo=ore
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=ore1.hk.apool.io:9092

• Configuration files for mining with GPU only

  algo=ore
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=ore1.hk.apool.io:9092
  cpu-off=true

• Configuration files for mining with CPU only

  algo=ore
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=ore1.hk.apool.io:9092
  gpu-off=true

• Configuration files for mining with GPU and open hybrid mode

  algo=ore
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=ore1.hk.apool.io:9092
  cpu-off=true
  mode=1

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

  algo=ore
  account=my_sub_account
  pool=ore1.hk.apool.io:9092
  gpu-off=true
  thread=8

GPU power configuration （Optional）

• Adjust graphics card power cap (watts)

  nvidia-smi-pl 200

• Reset all Nvidia-SMI settings

  nvidia-smi -r

• Set the upper limit of GPU temperature (degrees Celsius), after which the GPU will reduce the frequency

  nvidia-smi-gtt 80

• Specify and set the upper temperature limit of 0 card (degrees Celsius). After exceeding the limit, the GPU will reduce the frequency.

  nvidia-smi -g 0 -gtt 80

• Set the minimum and maximum frequency of video memory

  nvidia-smi-lmc 3000,3500

• Specify the power limit of graphics card 0

  nvidia-smi -g 0 -pl 200

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

sudo 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

sudo bash run.sh

6. View apoolminer log

sudo tail -f ore.log

7.shutdown apoolminer command

sudo 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

9. Watch the Statistics and earn ORE on Apool
