== Direct Mining ==
 
* Go to [https://downloads.electroneum.com/ Electroneum's] download page and scroll down to where it says "Direct Mining Software" then choose your operating system and click download. I will be using the Mac miner for this tutorial.
 
 
* Unzip the file and click on "electroneumd" to start syncing with the blockchain. It can take up to 24 hours to do so.
 
 
* Next create a wallet address. To do so click "electroneum-wallet-cli" and follow the steps to create a wallet.
 
 
* To start mining in "electoneumd" type "start_mining <wallet_address> <number_of_threads>".
 
 
* Congratulations, you are now mining Electroneum! To stop the miner type "stop_mining" and you can type "help" for more options.
 
 
== Pool Mining ==
 
The best way to mine for [[Electroneum]] is to do so with a mining pool. There are many choices with varying pool fees, donation fees and locations. To help reduce latency, choose a pool that's in a location near you. For this tutorial I will be using Terminal in Ubuntu 16.04.
 
 
=== Choose an Electroneum mining pool ===
 
* [https://etn.spacepools.org/# SpacePools] EU Pool, 0.1% pool fee
 
* [https://etnpool.net/ ETNPool] EU pool, 0.5% pool fee
 
* [https://dedpool.io/etn/ dedpool.io] US pool, 1% pool fee
 
* [http://etn.pool.nocroom.com/ nocroom pool] US pool, 0.2% pool fee
 
 
=== Create a wallet ===
 
* [https://my.electroneum.com/ Electroneum Wallet Manager]
 
 
=== Set up miner ===
 
* Install the following prerequisites
 
<code>sudo apt-get install git</code>
 
 
<code>sudo apt-get install aptitude</code>
 
 
<code>sudo aptitude update</code>
 
 
<code>sudo aptitude install –with-recommends build-essential autotools-dev autoconf automake libcurl3 libcurl4-gnutls-dev git make cmake libssl-dev pkg-config libevent-dev libunbound-dev libminiupnpc-dev doxygen supervisor jq libboost-all-dev htop</code>
 
 
* Make sure you are using gcc v5
 
<code>sudo apt-get update</code>
 
 
<code>sudo apt-get install gcc-5 g++-5</code>
 
 
<code>sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-5</code>
 
 
<code>sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 1</code>
 
 
* Clone repository
 
<code>git clone https://github.com/toninoxp/CPUMiner-Multi.git</code>
 
 
* Set up mining client
 
<code>cd CpuMiner-Multi</code>
 
 
<code>unzip cpuminer-multi.zip</code>
 
 
<code>cd cpuminer-multi</code>
 
 
<code>./autogen.sh</code>
 
 
<code>./configure</code>
 
 
<code>make</code>
 
 
* Run custom mining script
 
Example:
 
 
<code>./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://pool.etn.spacepools.3333 -u etnkKC7Ed1T62u1ZcADw7ZCpDAmudSe2CbW1NaYwUahzSwFty3WCTMYeVU4v1ADhZ1P9Wf1D2VRE6MnZGcvh5RXp5NEreL3rjk -p x &</code>
 
 
Generic:
 
 
<code>./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://<pool_address>:<port> -u <wallet_address> -p x &</code>
 
 
You should see something like this with each event:
 
 
<code>[2018-04-11 15:30:15] accepted: 1/1 (100.00%), 750.63 H/s at diff 35000.1 (yay!!!)</code>
 
 
To end mining type "control c".
 
 
To see your pool stats, look up your wallet address in the mining pool's website and you should see something like this:
