As a result, Monero has moved from a $0.50 / 1 XMR currency a year ago to $12.50/ 1 XMR as of today.bitcoin seminar topicThat movement, and the privacy focus, has made Monero a top 5 cryptocurrency and pushed it into the mainstream with even a recent WIRED article on the currency.bitcoin seminar topicThe advantage of this has been that Monero is now very easy to exchange and has tools that are more mature than several other cryptocurrencies.bitcoin atm new york cityFor STH readers there is a larger implication.bitcoin acheter paypalUnlike Bitcoin mining which is dominated by ASICs, Monero is currently best mined on GPUs.ethereum correction

CPU mining can be profitable as well.ensayo de bitcoinThat means STH readers have the infrastructure able to mine Monero.There are hundreds of questions out there on how to mine Monero with CPUs and various Linux distributions.Docker and our pre-made container makes that ridiculously simple.There is no more dependency hunting, build troubleshooting, or other work.Just a simple command to run the popular Wolf’s CPU miner.Just to give you an idea of how easy this is to setup and use, within 8 days we rocketed past 50K Docker Hub pulls on our minergate image.We did account for a few dozen of these pulls when we deployed it using Docker Swarm on our test cluster.If you want to install Docker you can either use your standard package manager or the company makes a one-liner install script that works on most platforms.Installing anything downloaded directly is dangerous so use this at your own risk: / | sh You will also likely want to use the usermod -aG command at the end of the installation script so you can use Docker without having to sudo every time.

If you do not, you can just append sudo to the start of the following commands.We recommend mining in a pool to get started.If you want to mine in a pool, some of the more popular are minergate and moneropool.With Minergate, you can simply sign-up and start mining using an e-mail address (even a throw-away one.)Using other pools like moneropool you will want to get a wallet.Perhaps the easiest way to get a wallet is using MyMonero.If you are using Minergate, XMR will be stored with your account so you do not technically need another wallet.The final step in the process is to start mining.Here is the command you can use to do CPU mining on your Docker server using the Minergate pool: servethehome/monero_cpu_minergate with your Minergate username.We do not take any shares for using our image but we do appreciate using the STH affiliate link when you sign up.If you want to use Moneropool there is a very similar command: servethehome/monero_cpu_moneropool with your Monero wallet address.

Likewise if you want to use xmrpool.net: servethehome/monero_cpu_xmrpooldotnet .We are using -itd to launch the Docker containers but you can instead use simply -d.We assume most getting started with Docker will be interested in their performance which is why the commands above will print information to the console.With any of the above one-liners you can mine Monero on a Docker host using a single command.We created these containers, and are using Wolf’s miner specifically so they are easy to deploy across a Docker Swarm.You can even use web management tools like Portainer and Rancher to deploy these as low priority containers across entire clusters within seconds.We also have NVIDIA GPU miners we run with nvidia-docker that you can read about following that link.If you have any issues getting started or just want to chat with a community using this, head over to the STH forums.If you are sick of reading Docker how-to guides with do-nothing nginx containers, this is also a great way to learn Docker and earn a few dollars in the process.
