Minereum

A short script to mine Ether and parse the output to produce more meaningful information. Minereum starts an ethereum node using Geth and a standalone miner using Ethminer. Geth works in conjunction with Ethminer, using Ethminer as a worker and Geth as a scheduler.

Features

• One command spawns all neccessary tasks
• Meaningful log messages
• Query for accounts and balances
• Average hash rate, updates on one line
• Mine on GPU or CPU
• Benchmarking

Install

• Ensure you have installed Geth and set up an account
• Ensure you have installed Ethminer and checked it runs correctly
• Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/CameronDiver/RunEthereumMiner.git
• Move into the RunEthereumMiner directory
• Run the command python runminer.py -h to view the usage options

GPU Mining

• Run the command minereum -G --geth="path to Geth" --ethminer="path to Ethminer

CPU Mining

• Run the command minereum --geth="path to Geth" --ethminer="path to Ethminer

Output

• Type 'q' whilst Minereum is running to quit
• Type 'a' whilst Minereum is running to view accounts
• Type 'b' whilst Minereum is running to view balances
