I am running Kali Linux Debian Try To Install Zcash Beta2

Mining
1

I am having trouble with getting the daemon to run (“./src/zcashd -daemon”). “No such file or directory” Has anyone solved this problem?

2

Have you tried
~/zcash/./src/zcashd -daemon

?

3

I am running that command from the ~zcash directory. Thanks

4

I should say “./src/zcashd -daemon” from the zcash directory.

Follw these steps:

  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo apt-get install
  3. $ sudo apt-get install \build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g+±multilib \autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python \ zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake
  4. git clone GitHub - zcash/zcash: Zcash - Internet Money
  5. cd zcash
  6. git checkout v1.0.0-rc4
  7. ./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
    If you are upgrading then use follow
    cd zcash/ make clean
    git fetch origin git checkout v1.0.0-rc4
    $ ./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
    Make sure to follow this soon after above
  8. rm -rf ~/.zcash/testnet3
    Compiling
    ./zcutil/build.sh -j(nproc)
    Later you can run this and benchmark
    cd zcash
    ./src/zcashd -daemon

Or stop it by

./src/zcash-cli stop

And again start by
./src/zcashd -showmetrics=1
It will do ghe work

Thanks, I got it going? Do you know what time the real mining starts and what changes besides deleting the testnet=1, to the zcash.conf file need to be made? Do we need to recompile?

7

Yeah ver1 will probably be rolled out and we need to update as in previous cases updated.
You must visit Zcask wiki when announced today hopefully

Any ideas why this is happening

sudo apt-get install \build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g+±multilib \autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python \ zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake
