Updated bminer install directions in SMOS courtesy Greerso from the VoskCoin group.
1. Log into your smOS install via ssh.
ssh miner@
miner@simpleminer:~$
2. Login as root.
miner@simpleminer:~$ sudo -s
miner@simpleminer:~#
3. Change to the smOS miners directory.
root@simpleminer:~# cd /root/miner_org
4. Download bminer.
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# wget https://www.bminercontent.com/releases/bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a-amd64.tar.xz
5. Expand the compressed directory, then delete the downloaded file.
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# tar -xvf bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a-amd64.tar.xz
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# rm bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a-amd64.tar.xz
6. Choose one of the existing miners that you would like to replace with bminer, I chose 'sgminer-gm-5.5.5', then rename that folder so that smOS ignores it.
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# mv sgminer-gm-5.5.5 sgminer-gm-5.5.5_backup
7. Create a symlink from the bminer directory to the sgminer directory and enter that directory.
The line below has been updated to reflect a change in the tarball as distributed by bminer. If it does not work, please look at the folder that you downloaded and make a link to that, exactly as it appears for you, these directory names contain version information that will change. If you can not list a directory in linux and find a directory, google it (hint: 'ls'), if you still can't figure it out, you have no business installing another miner in smos. You should see a folder that you expanded from the tar file. Currently it is named bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a (could be something else by the time you read this, so check what you download and expanded.root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# ln -s bminer-v5.3.0-e337b9a sgminer-gm-5.5.5
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org# cd sgminer-gm-5.5.5
8. Create a symlink from the bminer application to masquerade as sgminer.
root@simpleminer:/root/miner_org/sgminer-gm-5.5.5# ln -s bminer sgminer
9. Go to
http://simplemining.net and setup a new rig group for sgminer-gm-5.5.5 with the following miner options. This example is for MPH, but whatever your preferred pool is can go here. Change to your username duh.
-uri stratum://.$rigName@us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20594 -no-timestamps -api 127.0.0.1:1880
10. Assign the new sgminer (really bminer) to a rig.
