Title: [TUTORIAL] Running YaCoin Miner on CentOS Headless -- Easy!
Post by: Vorksholk on May 11, 2013, 07:47:24 PM

There's two ways to get YaCoin mining on CentOS (like a rented server); The Easy way, and the Hard way.

There has been information going around (likely FUD) that the YaCoin client steals bitcoins from you. This thread shows you how to mine them, and does not need the yacoin client. You can mine to the yacoin pool (at don't mine me).

The Easy Way:
I made a script that does everything for you. Ta-da!

Code:

wget vorksholkms.com/yacoin.sh
chmod a+x yacoin.sh
./yacoin.sh

Code:

sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
sudo yum -y install git libcurl-devel python-devel screen rsync
git clone https://github.com/ali1234/cpuminer
cd cpuminer
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make

Then:
cd cpuminer
screen -S miner
./minerd -o http://yourpool.com:port -u username -p password -a scrypt-jane --threads #CPUs (where #CPUs is the number of cores your computer's processor(s) have)

As well, I may start selling servers soon that have a dedicated i7-2600 or i7-3770 for ~$100/month, and it will point towards your pool, be pre-configured, and 24/7 with 99% uptime.

I'm still struggling with Ubuntu ... very hard time after using Win for over 10 years.

I find CentOS to be a tad easier myself :) Might just be because I've worked with it for longer than debian . . .
