Hello ! I just watch your Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kha1HQ4Lgu4 well done, I liked it !

The process of GPU-mining-on-Linux is very well described, quite simple to setup as per your good instructions !

One simple question: where the minerd executable comes from ? In the video description you mention altcoins, I'm confused.

I propose you publish a link the original repository where you obtained the "minerd" from (unless you built it yourself as closed-source): this would help people staying up to date if you do not syncronize your git tree, and could incentivate users to follow up on the possible bugs, configurations and so forth.

Does this observation make sense ?

Best regards and Merry Christmas, Massimiliano

By minerd, I think you mean miner. start.sh runs the miner binary, which is included with the repo. It's the EWBF miner, which I think I mentioned in the video. You can grab latest binaries here: https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/releases
