For the latest releases see: https://github.com/brian112358/nevermore-miner/releases/ or just:

wget -c "https://github.com/brian112358/nevermore-miner/releases/download/v0.2.2/nevermore-v0.2.2-linux-cuda9.zip"

Rough Install DOC listed for the ccminer branch this is based off is is found here: https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/blob/linux/INSTALL

So far the tools/libs we have roughly found required to make it function are listed in that INSTALL as follows:

install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libjansson-dev automake autotools-dev build-essential

So we now do:

sudo apt-get-ubuntu update && sudo apt-get-ubuntu install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libjansson-dev automake autotools-dev build-essential nvidia-cuda-dev

And out of those nvidia-cuda-dev is most likely the only true requirement, but we haven’t got that narrowed down for sure at this point, so we are just rolling with all of it….

Now you can just unzip the nevermore-v0.2.2-linux-cuda9.zip and go into the directory with cd nevermore-linux that it extracts to and test by running ./ccminer

Then you can just:

cd ~ && mv -v /opt/miners/ccminer/ccminer /opt/miners/ccminer/ccminer.OLD && cp -v /home/ethos/neverminer-linux/ccminer /opt/miners/ccminer/

At this point this ccminer should work as a drop in replacement for the older one, it should show miner, log, minestop, allow, and everything very similar to the prior ccminer.

To actually do Raven Coin x16r you just have to specify that in your ccminer-flags -a x16r line as outlined in their example..

I had an someone else test this ccminer, and they said it might have some reporting issues. But I’m unable to confirm because my test Rig only has AMD cards in it.

If given the time, I might image a USB 3 Stick for my Main Rig though with a couple GTX 960 cards in it to confirm..
