Mining with external GPU on Ubuntu Laptop

mrgoldy · May 30, 2017

I was given a free laptop to fix. Just needed a new HDD which I loaded with Ubuntu. 64bit
I have also been offered a used GTX970.
I've watched a bunch of videos of people doing the eGPU setup to the mini PCIE by removing the wireless card. But all have been with Windows. Can I do this with with my Ubuntu Laptop? Any videos/tutorials to help walk me thru this?

Youll spend more money in components and electricity then youll ever get back by mining, pretty much any crypto currency. If you still want to do it, use Google, there are thousands of videos, tutorials for you to read.

This should help.
Not sure if bitcoin mining with nvidia is feasible or if you want to find someone to trade with you. It used to be that AMD was the way to got for mining. I just don't know if that is still relevant or not.
