mining on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[aironeous]

I have tried the linux app listed on the electroneum website but it doesn't download the blockchain.
I keep getting failure to connect to seed peers. I'm using KDE Neon which is based on Ubuntu 16.04 and that application is for latest version of Ubuntu I think.
I've tried installing wine and tried all the window miners and none of them work.
There is a guy on the mining telegram that says he has his ubuntu 16.04 up and mining
His name is Anwer
I asked him how, he said he followed the directions here:

I'm at work right now so I can't try this out until I get home. If anyone can try this and report back thanks.

Thanks for posting this. I have sent up my miner on linux but using yam miner instead. had to try out a few and this was the only one I could get working

What distro are you running?

If nothing, nothing, nothing works. You can mine it from the browser here by just putting in your public paper wallet address.

easyhash.io/easy/web_miner

Make sure you remove the spaces/line breaks in your public key. In the pdf it will look like this
xxxxasdbuhsebfdib
6ert5iuhsdfknsefd

but it has to look like this

I used that tuto for linux and it works for me, ubuntu 17.10, laptop i3@2ghz, hashrate is around 40h/s
Thanks for the link

In the browser miner the speed was around 20h/s

I was finally able to get a miner working on my KDE Neon which is based off of Ubuntu 16.04:
From terminal install Nvidia Cuda toolkit and gdebi
Go to minergate and download their 16.04 Ubuntu miner. Click to install. Works. But unfortunately they don't have ETN as a coin to mine but they do have Monero so I'm mining that for right now. Over 400 hashes a second using both cpu and gpu - i5 & gtx960m with an external fan attached to the gpu port to keep it cool.
I messaged them on Facebook to add ETN

Vote here: Tell them to add an Electroneum pool and let us merge mine Fantomcoin with it. It's free coins, as long as you have a FCN address and you are mining a cryptonote based currency your FCN balance keeps going up too. Should work with ETN as far as I know.
