If like me, you keep getting stuck with ‘coldreboot’ and the GPU hanging, causing the rig to get stuck without going and turning the power off and on.

I use BAMT for my mining setup. I recently wanted to use these rigs for VertCoin. Here is how I managed it fairly easily:


cd /home/user
git clone https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.git
cd vertminer-gpu
cp /opt/miners/cgminer/ADL_SDK/*.h /home/user/vertminer-gpu/ADL_SDK/
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure
make
make install
mv /opt/miners/cgminer /opt/miners/cgminer-current
mkdir /opt/miners/cgminer
cp -R /home/user/vertminer-gpu/* /opt/miners/cgminer/
ln -s /opt/miners/cgminer/vertminer /opt/miners/cgminer/cgminer
cp /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf.SCRYPT
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

Now write to /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf and put in your correct settings. On my R9 280X I use the following to connect to my p2pool node:


{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://vertcoinpool.com:9171",
"user" : "Vwtr2b2RxYxu7gY429H7nbry95nWzgC245+0.001/0.0001",
"pass" : "x"
},
{

"user" : "Vwtr2b2RxYxu7gY429H7nbry95nWzgC245+0.001/0.0001",
"pass" : "x"
}
]

"no-pool-disable" : true,

}


Now to get started.

service mine restart

And use

screen -r

to see how you’re doing.

You can use my p2pool node at www.vertcoinpool.com for mining VertCoin (VTC) on the p2pool network.
