Headless Ethminer (nVidia) Setup Guide

Cian Johnston, July 2017

A couple of weeks ago, I decided I should put my gaming rig to work crypto mining. I did not expect to make any significant profit on this, it was more of a fun project to set up. However, there were a large number of tutorials and guides already out there, and many were more than a year out of date.

This guide assumes the reader already has a crypto wallet set up, is comfortable with Linux and the command line, and knows how to use Google if they run into problems.

The end result is an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS headless server running CUDA ethminer via systemd.

Enable TRIM on non-Apple SSDs in OS X

NOTE: This is tested on the versions mentioned in the title, and NOT earlier or later versions. YMMV.

Run the following commands in Terminal…

Backup the original driver:

sudo cp /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage-backup

pool management

• create a new pool by first creating an empty partition space using diskutil or Disk Utility

adding a mirror to an existing pool

check current status

zpool status -v
