Mining Ethereum on Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver with Multiple NVIDIA CUDA GPUs This blog will outline you everything you need to setup Ethereum mining hardware, operating system, software, and drivers using Ubuntu 18.04 and NVIDIA GPUs 1) Overview: Mining Ethereum may not be profitable and is dependent on a few things outside of your control, the current price of Eth, and the current cost of electricity. There are various mining calculators available for you to calculate your cost. One thing to note, is that while writing this article mining for Eth is not cost effective, however that doesn't mean the price or Eth won't go up (or down) in the future. 2) What you need: SSD hard drive - (if you plan on running an Eth node you will need at least 500GB) Motherboard, I used a cheaper 1151 socket, make sure it has enough PCI express ports if you plan to use multiple GPUs CPU - speed is not important since mining will be done on the GPUs, I found a cheap socket 1151
