I may have jumped the gun thinking that linux would be well supported with NVIDIA for mining. I saw Linux versions of miners… but the bespoke distros for linux (Eg: simple miner) are AMD only.
So what would you suggest I use?
I’m hoping to run from USB Flash drives. (though I can do SSDs, I have a lot of cheap USB drives)
My cards are NVIDIA 1070 — because this fits the coins I want to mine best
I want to use Linux because I don’t want to pay the windows tax for each rig
That’s about it. I can just run with Ubuntu and set things up– but I want to know if someone knows that a particular distribution is better supporting NVIDIA cards or if there’s some derivative of BAMT still around.
Much thanks for any help!
PS– I’m not above making my own distribution. Especially if people want to pitch in with advice. Seems it shouldn’t be too hard to port SimpleMining or something over to NVIDIA using the NVIDIA miners out there.
