Title: [XPM] Noobproof VPS Primecoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (Updated) Post by: gigawatt on July 23, 2013, 02:37:31 PM After reading mikaelh's Primecoin setup guide (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=259022.0) I decided to automate as much of the process as possible to make it noob friendly.
The result is this! Setting up a Primecoin Miner on VPS for Absolute Noobs Donations welcome! BTC: 1E2egHUcLDAmcxcqZqpL18TPLx9Xj1akcV Ψ: AWHJbwoM67Ez12SHH4pH5DnJKPoMSdvLz2 Before You Begin
Getting Down to Business
Congratulations! You're now mining for primecoins! It may take a few minutes before you actually begin mining. This is normal. Primecoin needs to download the blockchain before it can begin doing work. After it's caught up, you should be able to run ./peek and see that it's generating primes. If you'd like to maximize your mining potential, please see my mini-guide on How to Clone DigitalOcean Droplets (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=284831.msg3045081#msg3045081). What Now?

In a week or month you may get some. However if you ran it for just 1 day i would predict zero coins. Per day, you're probably technically correct. Then again, your statement also applies to just about any non-cluster setup. Then wat is the point in paying 5$ for this ? :D With the way DigitalOcean works, you pay by the hour regardless of what configuration you've selected. What that means is that you can run one 512mb/1core for a month or you can run four of them for a week. You can have up to five droplets per account, but you can open a ticket to raise the cap. Using the setup script, I managed to get a handful of droplets running in under 30 minutes and can update them with a single command. Worst case scenario, I'm out $5. Title: Re: [XPM] Noobproof Primecoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script Post by: mikaelh on July 23, 2013, 03:17:38 PM Nice initiative. However, I would prefer that people wouldn't post instructions that automatically clone the git repository. Those instructions already probably got my github repo disabled. It puts quite a lot of load on the repository hosting service too.

However, I would prefer that people wouldn't post instructions that automatically clone the git repository. Good catch. I've modified the script so that it only clones once and uses git pull to catch up. The initial pull will be ~15MB, but after that just a few KB. Much lighter and quicker than ~15MB each time.

My concern with that is that the path of the newest release can change without notice. I don't want to put your bitbucket account in jeopardy though. I'll start working on a way to dynamically pull from SourceForge, regardless of how hackish it turns out. Once it's finished and tested, I'll update the setup script.

See main post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=261179.0) for additional info.
If you'd like to remotely backup your wallet.dat modify the following segment of code... Code: cat << "SCRIPT" > ~/notify-wallet so that it does something like... Code: cat << "SCRIPT" > ~/notify-wallet The script triggers based on primecoind's -walletnotify="~/notify-wallet" flag. It should trigger whenever the wallet file changes, which includes when a new block is minted.

Absolutely true. On the Linode/DigitalOcean boxes, you are root. I'm wondering if the install would work if you 1) saved it as a shell script and 2) ran the script with sudo. Most of it should work, but I'm not sure if primecoin would drop the config files where they should be. Title: Re: [XPM] Noobproof VPS Primecoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (Updated) Post by: lamiomni on August 01, 2013, 04:14:17 PM Didn't try, the script is almost working out-of-the-box, you also need to "sudo make install" for gmp.
FYI, XPM priming (hp8, Ubuntu Server 13.04 64 bit) on Amazon EC2 with High-CPU On-Demand Instances: - Medium (1.7 GiB of memory, 5 EC2 Compute Units): ~1,1kPPS - Extra Large (7 GiB of memory, 20 EC2 Compute Units): ~4.5kPPS I'm trying to tune the parameters a bit to find optimal settings.

I'd recommend running benchmarks on a few different parameter setups, you'd be surprised what kind of performance you can get. On a 1 CPU (2.4GHz) DigitalOcean droplet, I can manage ~120 5-chain/hr or about ~1k PPS with optimized parameters. Assuming that keep your debug.log file relatively clean (echo "" > ~/.primecoin/debug.log before you start), you can use this to calculate your running averages: Code: grep primemeter ~/.primecoin/debug.log | awk '{s1+=$4;s2+=$6;s3+=$8} END {printf"%10s: %10d\n%10s: %10d\n%10s: %10d\n","Prime/h",s1/NR,"Test/h",s2/NR,"5-Chain/h",s3/NR}' Title: Re: [XPM] Noobproof VPS Primecoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (Updated) Post by: lamiomni on August 01, 2013, 05:43:55 PM Which settings are you using for a 1-CPU droplet @DigitalOcean?

Pic Here. (https://i.imgur.com/lkIexLy.png) error: incorrect rpcuser or rpcpassword (authorization failed) Usually that error is from editing your primecoin.conf file before stopping primecoin.

I set up a new node to test out a ./notify-block script. I had it enabled right from the beginning, but about 20 minutes in things were going really really slow. Turns out that when primecoin was downloading the blockchain, it triggered the notification script about 90,000 times. Oops.

Alternately, you can make a master wallet file on your computer, then copy it to each of the nodes. That way, you and all your nodes have the same wallets and you don't have to go fish addresses out of the nodes. If you go this route, be sure to stop primecoin, copy the wallet, then restart primecoin. You can use WinSCP to transfer files to/from your nodes. Your login info will be the same as your PuTTY info.

As long as all the nodes (including yourself) have the same wallet.dat file, they should stay in sync up to ~100 mined blocks. I'd also recommend that you restart the haveged service. I noticed that it doesn't always run automatically after installation. You can accomplish this with: Code: service haveged restart Code: ps aux | grep -v grep | grep haveged Title: Re: [XPM] Noobproof VPS Primecoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (Updated) Post by: Qantaqa on August 10, 2013, 08:24:24 AM I noticed the script still sets roundsievepercentage to 30 while hp9's default changed to 70, any specific reason for this, or can i just update this?

The script now runs apt-get update before installing packages. This makes it work better with RamNode. The start and stop scripts now use [[ -n "$(pidof primecoind)" ]] to check if primecoind is running. It should no longer kill itself on accident.

Title: Re: [XPM] Noobproof VPS Primecoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (Updated) Post by: gigawatt on August 15, 2013, 08:16:12 PM Good news! I've updated the script and now it works on Amazon EC2 instances.
Furthermore, primecoin launches as soon as the server reboots, so you'll always have it running. Title: Re: [XPM] Noobproof VPS Primecoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (Updated) Post by: gigawatt on August 16, 2013, 06:04:53 PM Another minor update. I've noticed that some hosting providers (DigitalOcean) occasionally result in a Kernel Panic on boot.
I've modified the script to auto-reboot in case of a kernel panic so mining can continue as usual. Secondly, the swapfile will only build one time (it'll skip it if it detects a swapfile). Updates are now as simple as re-running the whole script.
