# XENBLOCKS - Effortless GPU Mining
Easily set up a GPU mining server for XENBLOCKS mining. A single line of code installs all dependencies and executes GPU mining. Here's how you get started:
1. **VAST.AI Mining - vast.ai (verified)**:
- First, clone this repository to your own public repository.
- Navigate to your repo, open `vast.sh` (depending on where you mine or vast4.sh or vast8.sh, depending on number of GPUs) and replace the existing address with your own:

- Go to Vast.ai, select Templates / Cuda:12.0.1-Devel-Ubuntu20.04 option:

- Then under machines select the image you want. If you select 'unverified machines' you may find those that are a better deal:

- Now you're all set!
- Use a single line command below to get a new GPU server up and running (from 0 to full-speed mining with one press of a button).
- Note: of course replace (JozefJarosciak/xgpu/main/gpu.sh) with path to your repo
vast.ai (for single GPU use vast.sh):
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install wget && sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JozefJarosciak/xgpu/main/vast.sh && sudo chmod +x vast.sh && sudo ./vast.sh
```
vast.ai (for 4 X GPU use vast4.sh):
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install wget && sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JozefJarosciak/xgpu/main/vast4.sh && sudo chmod +x vast4.sh && sudo ./vast4.sh
```
vast.ai (for 8 X GPU use vast8.sh):
```
sudo apt update && sudo apt -y install wget && sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JozefJarosciak/xgpu/main/vast8.sh && sudo chmod +x vast8.sh && sudo ./vast8.sh
```
1.1 **VAST.AI Video DEMO**:

2. **RUNPOD Mining - runpod.io (unverified)**:
- Same as above, just update `runpod.sh` file with your address
```
apt update && apt -y install wget && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JozefJarosciak/xgpu/main/runpod.sh && chmod +x runpod.sh && ./runpod.sh
```
# XENBLOCKS - USEFUL COMMANDS
Tail logs:
```
tail -f /root/XENGPUMiner/miner.log
tail -f /root/XENGPUMiner/xengpuminer.log
tail -f /root/XENGPUMiner/xengpuminer-0.log (to xengpuminer-7.log)
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shanhaicoder/XENGPUMiner/main/miner.py
sudo nohup python3 miner.py --gpu=true > miner.log 2>&1 &
```
Maintenance kill multiple instances when needed
```
pkill -f "xengpuminer"
pkill -f "python3"
mv XENGPUMiner XENGPUMiner2
```
