Bitcoin mining on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit (natty) with ATI card , python, and poclbm miner

I started Bitcoin mining on my core i7 with a 5750 ati video card. Here is the way I setup the computer. I used this link to get 95% of my information: http://sectio-aurea.blogspot.com/2011/05/bitcoin-mining-on-ubuntu-1104-natty.html. Send him a few coin if you can. It is really a good post. I did have some issues with his setup on Ubuntu 11.04 64bit that s why I am making this.

So here we go:

Install required packages:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-numpy subversion g++ libboost-all-dev

Get the latest Bitcoin distribution

 

cd ~

Download the new version from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.3.23/bitcoin-0.3.23-linux.tar.gz/download

Untar Bitcoin

tar xzvf bitcoin-0.3.23-linux.tar.gz

chmod +x bitcoin-0.3.23/bin/32/bitcoin*


Install python-jsonrpc from official Subversion repository:

cd ~

svn checkout http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk/python-jsonrpc

cd python-jsonrpc/

sudo python setup.py install


Grab the AMD ATI SDK from the AMD website and install it:

cd ~

wget http://download2-developer.amd.com/amd/APPSDK/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz

tar xvzf AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz

Adding lines to your .bashrc file

echo export AMDAPPSDKROOT=${HOME}/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/ >> ~/.bashrc

echo export AMDAPPSDKSAMPLESROOT=${HOME}/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/ >> ~/.bashrc

echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${AMDAPPSDKROOT}lib/x86_64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}' >> ~/.bashrc

source ~/.bashrc

cd /

sudo tar xfz $AMDAPPSDKROOT/icd-registration.tgz


Install pyopencl from source on Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit

cd ~

wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pyopencl/pyopencl-0.92.tar.gz#md5=0680f7272fe3ab5a3bcb0b6cfbd74994

tar xzvf pyopencl-0.92.tar.gz

cd pyopencl-0.92

./configure.py --cl-inc-dir=${AMDAPPSDKROOT}include --cl-lib-dir=${AMDAPPSDKROOT}lib/x86_64

Build pyopencl:

make

sudo make install

Configuring bitcoin:

cd ~

mkdir -p .bitcoin


Make up user/password here if you like:

echo "rpcuser=user" >> .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

echo "rpcpassword=password" >> .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf


Get poclbm modules:

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/BitcoinMiner.cl

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/BitcoinMiner.py

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/poclbm.py

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/raw/master/sha256.py


Now we can run bitcoin in server mode,

~/bitcoin-0.3.20.2/bin/32/bitcoin -server &


The poclbm command to mine in a pool looks like this:

python poclbm.py -d 0 --host=pool hostname --port=8332 --user=worker --pass=worker password

The pool I use is deepbit.


If there are any questions, let me know with a post or on our forum at http://forum.the-server-admin.com
