Print Page - Cloud mining Riecoin!

Updated guide now I've got my mining working!! If you have any problems just message me.

Sorry if this is a little messy, but here it has it's own thread so it doesn't get lost in the Riecoin thread!
Block rewards start soon, so get set up!!!

Sign up at Digitalocean with this link (https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=a961beb6db90) if you don't mind using my reference link :)

Use the voucher code SSD2014 (Also in my sig) to get $10 credit for free
Start a droplet with AT LEAST 2GB ram, needed for compiling, with Debian 7.0 (This can be resized later, but you get charged full rate at all times your droplets are in existence.)

Connect to your droplet through Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) or any other SSH client, now you want to prepare the server for mining...
Please note, most commands here can simply be copied and pasted by simply right clicking in the Putty window and pressing enter, make sure to enter your own username where relevant though, and other details. It's safest to only do one line at a time unless you're sure what you're doing.

Use Putty to create a new user and add to the sudoers group, as below.

Code:

adduser <your_username_here> sudo

Change to your new user by using

Code:

su <your_username_here>

Code:

cd ~

Install dependencies

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev automake libcurl4-openssl-dev

Compile/install Riecoin

Code:

git clone https://github.com/riecoin/riecoin.git
cd riecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix
chmod +x riecoind

...and create the conf file

Code:

mkdir ~/.riecoin
nano ~/.riecoin/riecoin.conf

Press ctrl+X to exit once you've pasted or typed the config details in.
Example config:

Code:

rpcuser=changethisusername
rpcpassword=changethispassword
rpcport=28332
port=28333
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=194.97.156.59
