Anyone been able to setup OpenSUSE to mine for ethereum?
I found a howto, but it is for Ubuntu and I haven’t been able to adapt it for openSUSE.

Could not find ethereum or ethminer packages in any repositories. Did find the package geth.
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/geth

I installed geth, created an account
geth account new
geth --etherbase ‘myEtherbaseAddress’ --mine

Though it only uses the CPU for mining as it does not support GPU mining.

Mining with geth failed after a short while

Could find the ethminer software in the package ethereum-cpp.
Started the ethminer as suggested in the How-To for ubuntu.

Got an error while trying it.


ethminer -G -F http://yolo.ethclassic.faith:9999/0x<YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS> --farm-recheck 200
Selected GPU mining without having compiled with -DETHASHCL=1

PS! I did change YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS to my local generated ethereum address.

I was able to run ethminer benchmark.
Got 0 H/s…

Is it safe to trust https://github.com/cinemast/libjson-rpc-cpp for “libjsonrpccpp-common.so.0.()(64bi)”
and then install ethereum-cpp from
[https://github.com/cinemast/libjson-rpc-cpp](http://Is it safe to trust [http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/marec2000:/cryptocoins/ ?](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/marec2000:/cryptocoins/ ?)

Dear god no, never install random shared libraries from outside the distribution repositories.

[QUOTE=dzombe;2836645]and then install ethereum-cpp from
[GitHub - cinemast/libjson-rpc-cpp: C++ framework for json-rpc (json remote procedure call)](http://Is it safe to trust [
The repository already contains all the dependencies - add the repository with zypper and install with that and it’ll pull in all the necessary files.

Do not download single packages!](http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/marec2000:/cryptocoins/ ?)

Was installing it under Tumbleweed and missing libjsonrpccpp-common.so.0 error is probably only Tumbleweed repo package error. Provided is libjsonrpccpp-common.so.1.0.0 , but ethereum-cpp is looking for "libjsonrpccpp-common.so.0
