Do you want to take a first peak into the Crypto mining world without having to invest any money?
Today I show you a little trick to use Google Colabs server to mine Monero (XMR) for you. This is not intent to make any "real money", currently I get about €0,20 each day doing this. But it will give you a good overview over the tools and accounts you need to do Crypto mining.
Here is what you need:
- A Google Account
- Miner Pool (e.g. Minergate)
1: First thing you will need is a XMR Miner Pool, I use Minergate in this Example but you are free to use whatever pool you like.
To see some examples have a look at https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero
2: Open Google Colabs https://colab.research.google.com/#create=true
3: Click the Connect button on the top, to connect to one of Googles server
4: Insert the following script and execute it (change 33esw3hxt3kxtcn to your Mingergate UserID or your Email)
!wget https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/download/v5.5.1/xmrig-5.5.1-xenial-x64.tar.gz
!tar -zxf xmrig-5.5.1-xenial-x64.tar.gz
cd xmrig-5.5.1
!./xmrig -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://xmr.pool.minergate.com:45700 -u 33esw3hxt3kxtcn -p x
5: You need to keep the browser tab open, if you want you can repeat this steps and see worker count increase at Minergate
Warning: You can get disconnected to the server from google and even get your account suspended for google colabs.
