CPU does not have AES-NI, which is required

Question

I have a problem. I made it with this tutorial http://fucking-it.com/articles/bitcoin/771-monero-cpu-mining-on-linux

In the last step I get this message CPU does not have AES-NI, which is required.

What do I do with this?

Answer 1

You can't efficiently mine using a chip that doesn't support AES-NI.

Verify that the current CPU has the AES instruction set using the following command:

grep -m1 -o aes /proc/cpuinfo

If it supports AES-NI, your output will be "aes" . If it doesn't output anything, you can't mine on your Raspberry Pi using cpuminer.

Answer 2

What is the CPU in your system?

That miner is no longer supported.

Perhaps use this this: CPUMiner-Muli

Read the build instructions to build it for your *nix

Basic instructions:

Download the miner
$ git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi

If using Ubuntu do
$ apt-get install automake autoconf pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev libssl-dev libgmp-dev make g++

$ cd cpuminer-multi

$ ./build.sh

$ make install

See what your options with
$ cpuminer --help

Usually you would do something like
$ cpuminer -t 2 -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://whateverpool.com:0420 -u youraddresshere -p x
