HOWTO mine Ravencoin X16R algorithm with Simpleminer smOS

<p dir="auto">At the time of writing this smOS does not have a miner capable of mining the x16r algorithm. There is a compiled binary of ccminer-x16r on HiveOS that can easily be copied to smOS. <ul> <li><p dir="auto">Download the latest version of <a href="http://download.hiveos.farm/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">HiveOS and make a HiveOS USB.

The 7G partition is the one we want. <li><p dir="auto">Mount the HiveOS partition: <pre><code># make a directory to mount it to sudo mkdir /mnt/hiveos # mount the partition sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/hiveos #replace sdb2 with whatever your 7G unmounted partition is. <ul> <li>Copy ccminer-rvn from HiveOS to smOS: <pre><code>sudo cp /mnt/hiveos/hive/ccminer/ccminer-rvn /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ # rename the skunk ccminer sudo mv /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer-skunk-krnlx # create a symlink to the new x16r miner sudo ln -s /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer-rvn /root/miner_org/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer-skunk-krnlx/ccminer <ul> <li>Unmount HiveOS: <pre><code>sudo umount /mnt/hiveos sudo rmdir /mnt/hiveos <ul> <li>Log into simplemining.net and configure your miner. <pre><code># Example.

I suggest a quick google search on mining x16r with ccminer.
