The only thing you need to start mining Etica (ETI) is an ethereum public address. Moreover you will need to connect to Etica Network to assess your Eticas balance and move it.
This section assumes you have an etica address or you already know how to get an etica address. If you don't, check first part of the section how to connect.
There is currently one main miner you can use to mine Etica (ETI). It is SoliditySha3 Miner upgraded by Dmitry, it works on linux and also on windows.
Github repository: SoliditySHA3MinerEticaOptimised
You can download .zip and .tar.gz directly from the Github repository:

How to get an Etica address:
The only thing you need to start mining EGAZ is an etica public address.
This section assumes you have an etica address or you already know how to get an etica address.
If you don't, check first part of the section how to connect.
egaz pool: http://egazpool.ddns.net
egaz miners: lolMiner
This is a tutorial on how to mine EGAZ on windows but lolMiner also works on linux and the steps should be the same.
EGAZ is the crypto currency that secures and enable to pay for transaction fees on Etica Blockchain
Replace with mining pool address egazpool.ddns.net:8008 (don't add http) & your public key (not private key!)
Once you have replaced these fields, save the file and you are ready to start mining EGAZ
Your miner is now mining EGAZ and you don't have to do anything else. The mining pool will automatically send you EGAZ on the address you provided.
Go on (http://egazpool.ddns.net/#/account/your_etica_address_here) to see your hashrate and your shares. The EGAZ mining pool wil send you EGAZ automtically
Go on https://www.eticascan.org and enter your address to see how much Etica you have on your address.
Or you can also check your Etica balance on your Metamask wallet
Mining EGAZ is pretty straight forward. Most people have mined ETH or ETC before. EGAZ is an ETC Algo and will run on your standard miners:
Nvidia: Bzminer, lolminer, T-Rex, NBminer
AMD: TeamRedMiner, Bzimer, lolminer, NBminer
Choose a custom Coin like "EGAZ" and add your ETI Address and your Name:
If you need an EGAZ/ETI Wallet, please visit the first part of this wiki how to connect.
Use the same configs as you have on windows:
Hash: I found you can chose either ETChash OR ETHash - both work
Pool URL: URL: http://egazpool.ddns.net
Port: 8008
Wallet: well, chose your wallet here
Pool: http://eticapool.com:8081
Extra config: -ethstratum=ETHPROXY (it also works without)
