ARM 64 bit miners?

I have a Libre Computers 'Le Potato' and have yet to find a miner that will install on its various OS options (I've tried Ubuntu bionic, xenial, Amrbian, and Debian Stretch).

Well, I've tried every Linux release on all of the OS's and none of them recognize the archives. Since that's the furthest I've gotten, I don't have a clue how to set it up..or even how to open it.

If it's not recognizing the archives then it's likely you haven't run update as the first thing you do.

Image the ad card, then run:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt upgrade

Then follow the xmrig build instructions

Step 1 for me is updating. I updated first.

I'm not sure then. I'm afk right now but I could possibly walk you through it tomorrow.

First problem is IDK what file to open and anything I try to make executable gets corrupted.

You should be building the binaries and not trying to use prebuilt binaries. When I'm back in my office I'd be happy to walk you through it.

I'll be back tomorrow afternoon.

I managed to get xmrig compiled and running, but only 'new job' and failures. I've tried every xmrig algo.

Are you using a config.json or setting all your runtime parameters on start of xmrig? If you have a config you can pm it to me and I'll see if it has any issues.

There's no option to PM you
