We will use a German run site called BitMinter. When mining on BitMinter, you also
collect NameCoins at the same time. It has very low fees. You can even set it to zero
percent if you don't want to insure yourself against orphaned blocks. It uses
OpenID
for authentication, and you should consider using a two-step authentication process
to protect your account.
Create a file called
miner.sh
in your home directory, run
chmod +x miner.sh
,
and add the following command lines to the script:
#!/binbash
cd cgminer
./cgminer -o http://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u <username>_default -p
password
You may leave the password empty or use any short text, for example, password, as
the servers rely on your username. The username will be the one that you selected
during registration. You can now run your script by typing in
./miner.sh
in the
command line.
CGMiner will start up and connect to the pool. You can now insert your ASICMiner
and it will autodetect the USB device and configure it correctly as shown in the
following screenshot:
