How To Setup Monero Mining On Debian
I have split this how to in 3 steps. The first step is you create a Monero Wallet and by this a Monero address to receive your Miners. The second step is to download the necessary software. In the 3rd step you will activate Monero mining.
First Step – Create a Monero Wallet
There are dozens, maybe hundreds of wallets that allow to send and receive Monero. All of these have advantages and disadvanages. In this how to you install the Cake Wallet. Basically download the wallet to your iPhone or Android based phone.
Second Step – Leverage on Moneroocean To Mine Monero
On your own you maybe not able to mine a lot of Monero’s, you maybe even not able to mine any. With the exception of you having a really amazing CPU power that goes far beyond power CPU, then you best leverage on a mining pool. In this how to we leverage on Moneroocean, because I simply have a normal CPU. Same here as with the Wallet, you maybe find dozens or hundreds of Monero Mining pools, but in this how to we leverage on Moneroocean. You are certainly free to select another mining pool.
- Surf to Moneroocean
- Enter your Monero Address (see in Cake Wallet under “Receive”)
- Click on Show Miner Setup Scripts
- Copy the Linux Setup Script
After you copied the Linux Setup Script you go to your Debian machine and execute it. The setup script does anything need to get the miner running.
Third step – Automate Mining after Startup
The installation script should have installed automatically whatever is required to get the script running automatically. You however better double check. This simply can be done, if you execute the systemctl status moneroocean_miner command The result should look like something like this:
root@miner:/home/systemctl status moneroocean_miner
