Print Page - [How TO] Mining digibytes via Digital Ocean

Hey guys my first post here! ;D
I thought that after trying several things last night, and finally getting it to work I would post a guide on how to mine digibyte on Digital Ocean.

Tutorial
1. Sign up for digibytes. https://www.digitalocean.com/

2. Fund your account. I used

Code:

OMGSSD10

for the promo and got ten dollars free. That should be enough to get you started the first couple days.

3. Next your going to want to create your droplet. Ive tried using the 2 core one, but it was VERY slow, right now I am using the 8 core and it seems to work just fine. I guess when digibyte is added to exchanges whether or not i am making a profit....

4. Now in the control panel in the top right corner you are going to want to hit the button that says console acsess. Loging with the credentials that they emailed you.

5. The first thing to do is change your password to something that can be remembered. We do this by

Code:

passwd

remember this! If you forget it you will to my knowledge have to remake your droplet.

6. Ok, lets get started by downloading everything we will need.

Code:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev libncurses5-dev pkg-config automake yasm make git

if you get an error go back through and install one by one using

Code:

apt-get install

7. That should have downloaded the tools we need. Now let us download the actual mining program.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer.git

8. now we will compile it

Code:

cd cpuminer

Code:

./autogen.sh

Code:

./configure CFLAGS="-O3"

That is not a zero three. It is the capital letter O.

Code:

make

9. Great, if you have gotten this far you are home free. Now we just need to execute the mining program.

Code:

./minerd --url=your.minerpool.org:port --userpass=yourusername.worker:password

example for the pool I use

Code:

./minerd --url=stratum+tcp://dgb.smalltimeminer.com:3348 --userpass=myname.worker:password

That should be it. Let me know if you have any trouble and i will try to help. Thanks, and happy mining! :)
