Title: Mine Bitcoin Using DigitalOcean (VPS) Instructions. Post by: derrend on July 29, 2013, 08:23:43 PM IMPORTANT NOTES:
---------------- # None of the commands are missing 'sudo', where you need 'sudo' it is there and where you don't it isn't. Also 'sudo' only starts to show up after you change into a non-privileged user because it is not needed before that. I was careful. # Signing up for multiple accounts using the same info is against their terms of service. If you do this you may have your account removed by DigitalOcean and lose access to any coins you've mined. INSTRUCTIONS: ------------- #01) Go to DigitalOcean (https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=9039094f0a5c) and sign up for an account. <-- Please use this link to earn me some credits for making this guide, better they go to someone rather than to waste :) #02) Create an Ubuntu 13.04 x64 droplet with the size you want. #03) You will be emailed an IP address and password with instructions on how to SSH into your new instance. #04) First thing to do once your logged in is to change the root password into something you can remember. Code: passwd Code: adduser <USERNAME> Code: echo '<USERNAME> ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers Code: su <USERNAME> Code: cd Code: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16; sudo mkswap /swapfile; sudo swapon /swapfile Code: sudo apt-get install bitcoind Code: bitcoind & Code: bitcoind stop Code: echo 'rpcuser=<UNIQUE_USERNAME>' | cat - ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf > temp && mv temp ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf Code: bitcoind OTHER USEFUL COMMANDS: ---------------------- # Show bitcoin wallet balance.

Title: Re: Mine Bitcoin Using DigitalOcean (VPS) Instructions. Post by: bitspill on July 30, 2013, 02:39:02 AM I highly doubt this is profitable. 5 bucks a month to barely mine a fraction of a bitcoin per year... it is far from profitable for readers of this thread but very profitable for the poster if everyone uses his referral link.

But this is a great way to run a node.
