How to Set Up Zephyr Mining Rig
Background
In this post we will set up a mining rig to mine Zephyr. I'm using an application called xmrig on ubuntu (install ubuntu from usb) to mine zephyr.
At the end of this you will be able to mine zephyr and have funds continuously deposited into your wallet with only the effort of set up and very minimal maintenance.

Create Execution Script
The execution script gives instructions to how you want to set up your mining rig. It tells xmrig what mining pool to use This file needs to be run as an root otherwise you will get some errors. (On windows run xmrig file as administrator and more info can be found here).
Copy this command into your terminal and replace YOUR_ZEPH_WALLET_ADDRESS with your wallet address and you can replace YOUR_WORKER_NAME with what you want to name the computer you have running.
echo "#!/bin/bash \n\nsudo ./xmrig --donate-level 1 -o us2.zephyr.herominers.com:1123 -u YOUR_ZEPH_WALLET_ADDRESS -p YOUR_WORKER_NAME -a rx/0 -k" > script.sh
chmod +x script.sh
Run Your Mining Rig
./script.sh
Congrats you are now mining crypto currency from the ether! After doing some research on the best processors, the best to use would be the any AMD Ryzen 9 and you could mine anywhere from 2-4 zephyr tokens a month. So if your pc is mining slow consider upgrading. The more cores the higher your has rate will be.
