Getting Down to Business
Congratulations! You're now mining for quarkcoins! It may take a few minutes before you actually begin mining. This is normal. Quarkcoin 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 quarks. 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?

Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One Setup Script Post by: jpmi1 on July 30, 2013, 05:16:24 PM I am now running a 2Cpu Digital Ocean droplet. Will give status update in a couple of hours.
Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One Setup Script Post by: jdebunt on July 30, 2013, 06:27:19 PM muchly appreciated this guide. Have it running my droplet now, will post back with results in 24 hours or so :)
Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One Setup Script Post by: bronan on July 31, 2013, 01:19:19 PM Well i am quiting this crap it has been running for 5 days on a i7 3770k and got not even one block
It seems looks like mining with minerd also not working .... Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One Setup Script Post by: jdebunt on July 31, 2013, 02:33:20 PM with this script, i've hit 2 blocks overnight, so kudos :)

ps fu showing quark is running. Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One Setup Script Post by: gigawatt on July 31, 2013, 02:39:14 PM Mining on 2 droplets for 18 hours. Nothing yet. ps fu showing quark is running. I'm hoping they fix getmininginfo in the future so it actually shows hashing speed. :-\ Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One Setup Script Post by: victzhang on July 31, 2013, 03:36:04 PM Don't expect many blocks using a VPS given the high difficulty now. Also since the price is so low, I doubt if it is really profitable.

Also since the price is so low, I doubt if it is really profitable. People said that about Primecoin too, but I'm looking at 5 minted blocks in the last ~24 hours, so I'm ok if you'd like to sit this one out. ;) Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One Setup Script Post by: melnikalex on July 31, 2013, 10:38:35 PM For ./myinfo i suggest to use this code, so mined coins will appear in the windows wallet, after you launch import.bat
Code: #!/bin/bash To import keys need following: 1. add to quarkcoin.conf (in %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Roaming/Quarkcoin) an options: Code: server=1 3. Put import.bat into the folder where quarkcoind.exe are placed on the pc with your main windows wallet and run it * if your wallet are encrypted, you need to remove "rem" occurences from the import.bat before run it. -- If you do not want to write private keys to file, there is a simpler script: Code: #!/bin/bash You would need to copy-paste line by line output of ./myinfo to quarkcoin-qt debug console window on main wallet -- * fixed: more that 10 addresses to show Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One Setup Script Post by: notlist3d on August 02, 2013, 09:28:56 PM Great work now showing hashespersec

Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One Setup Script Post by: gigawatt on August 13, 2013, 07:30:32 PM Lots of updates!
Changes include pretty much everything from the primecoin script that's been added in the last two weeks. That includes better ~/peek and start/stop scripts along with some cosmetic tweaks. Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: gigawatt on August 15, 2013, 08:10:21 PM Minor updates today.
The script is now test and is Amazon EC2 compliant. It also includes adding quarkcoin to startup. Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: gigawatt on August 16, 2013, 06:04:12 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 once. Updates are as simple as re-running the whole script. Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: liteuser on August 18, 2013, 08:23:21 PM You need to replace the A in the grep of the myinfo script
Quote for addr in $(quarkcoind listtransactions | grep --color=never -o "A[A-Za-z0-9]\{32,35\}" | sort -u); with a Q to get quarkcoin addresses. BTW, after rerunning your updated script I cannot get any connections in a digital ocean droplet. Are the nodes working? Thanks Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: gigawatt on August 19, 2013, 02:29:18 PM You need to replace the A in the grep of the myinfo script Quote for addr in $(quarkcoind listtransactions | grep --color=never -o "A[A-Za-z0-9]\{32,35\}" | sort -u); with a Q to get quarkcoin addresses. BTW, after rerunning your updated script I cannot get any connections in a digital ocean droplet. Are the nodes working? Thanks Good catch, I've updated the script. That's what I get for copy/pasting. I'm not certain about the node list. I haven't updated it since the initial script build. It may no longer be needed, but to my understanding Quarkcoin always takes a while to find peers. Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: gigawatt on August 20, 2013, 03:02:45 PM Misc stability/compatibility tweaks.
Now includes fail2ban by default to prevent brute-force login attempts. Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: cryptohunter on August 20, 2013, 11:51:33 PM Gigawatt please can you make a linux step by step guide for solo mining quark with this cpu miner ? also if you put your quark address in sig then people can donate them to you if they dont own prime or bitcoins
taken from quark thread ------------------------------------------------------------- It's fast, I'll post then all in one place, the source code: http://stonefoz.myfastmail.com/cpuminer-quark.zip the binary: please check if it loads the right libraries. "minerd-bin" is the real thing and "minerd" is a script to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH current directory. Who knows? you might already have libjannson installed. http://stonefoz.myfastmail.com/cpuminer-quark-bin.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: ZirconiumX on August 21, 2013, 08:40:56 AM Can I just recommend something that *might* speed things up?
https://github.com/ilikenwf/apt-fast It would require a few extra install steps, but it makes grabbing packages so much faster.

Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: i3lome on September 04, 2013, 07:25:38 AM I cant seem to get the ~/myinfo command to give any info. everything seems to be mining, getting decent hash speed but no address
Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: gigawatt on September 06, 2013, 03:44:17 PM I cant seem to get the ~/myinfo command to give any info. everything seems to be mining, getting decent hash speed but no address Have you received any coins or successfully mined a block with that wallet? ~/myinfo only shows an address if it's received coins in some way or another, so if your balance has always been a flat 0, it won't return anything.

Good to know, sorry Im stupid. I thought since it wasn't showing an address it couldn't mine anything. so I imported private key and tried that way. Lol patience is my downfall Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: soulmann on September 08, 2013, 09:58:25 PM Hi
Everything is working, but myinfo doesnt work. I tried ~/myinfo and ./myinfo. Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: i3lome on September 09, 2013, 01:46:51 AM Hi I had the same issue, i was told once a block is mined, your address and coin will so in the myinfo command. So aslong as your hashing, its workingEverything is working, but myinfo doesnt work. I tried ~/myinfo and ./myinfo. Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: bitspill on September 09, 2013, 03:41:08 AM Hi The post right before you was the same problem and the same solution just as i3lome said, myinfo only shows private keys to addresses with a balance so if ~/peek shows a balance of 0 ~/myinfo will be blankEverything is working, but myinfo doesnt work. I tried ~/myinfo and ./myinfo.

Securecoin and Quarkcoin use the same hashing algorithm, so you can just point the miner to a Quarkcoin pool and be good to go! Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: zx9r on November 30, 2013, 11:57:54 PM I guess this tutorial is for VPS "solo" mining ?
Could you please help in configuring a pool mining ? Title: Re: [QRK] Noobproof VPS Quarkcoin All-In-One EZ Setup Script (updated) Post by: BitcoinBA on December 01, 2013, 10:10:17 AM Hi Gigawatt,
thank you for the great script. I have just bought a VPS at Linode and it's running at 45k hps. Another node is running at my home PC in a virtual LUBUNTU box at 20k hps. The script compiled quite well at the Linode box, but with many warnings. It seems to be working fine but still, is it ok? I don't have so much experience with linux so it might be a stupid question :) Building LevelDB ... db/log_reader.cc:181:26: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare] blake.c:886:8: warning: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘unsigned char*’ [-fpermissive] blake.c:944:1: warning: initializing argument 1 of ‘void blake64_close(sph_blake_big_context*, unsigned int, unsigned int, void*, size_t)’ [-fpermissive] update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/cron missing LSB information Thank you.
