Heavycoin is an innovative CPU-only (HEFTY1 hash function), Ultra-Secure Cryptocurrency that features Temporal Retargeting and Decentralized Block Reward Voting. Learn more about HVC. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=470391.0)


Status:  GPU miners availabe, CPU cloud mining hence not recommended.

Readme: Please make sure that you create only one account at Digital Ocean. Multiple accounts violate their ToS.  Usually you will be limited to maximum 3 instances if you’re mining cryptocurrencies. Should you run into issues with your account please don't hesitate to contact DO's support team (staff is excellent).


0. Preparation:
   •   Windows: Download PuTTY (putty.exe) (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) in order to be able to connect to your VPS via SSH.
   •   Mac/Linux Users: simply use your built-in Terminal

(!) Please note that this guide runs your mining droplet as root

1. Sign Up for an SSD cloud server (https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=8949111a23b1) or log in if you already have an account. You may use Digital Ocean, Amazon AWS, Azure or any other VPS cloud hosting provider. The core of this guide works well on all providers, but the guide was written with DO in mind.

2. Fund your account with credit ($15+ recommended).

3. Click 'Create Droplet' to get your instance running.

4. Select the specifications you wish to mine on as well as the latest Ubuntu x64 image. I personally use 8 threads with the 8 Core plan. You can also consider creating several smaller ones, e.g. 4x 2 Core. Or just use one, decide as you wish. The more CPUs the more power you have.

5. Your username and password will be emailed to you within 55 seconds.

6. Log in to your droplet via SSH.

7. Change your root password.

8. Relocate into the home directory.

9. Create a swap file.

10a. Install dependencies

10b. Download the 1GH Heavycoin forked cpuminer, configure and compile:

10c. Now head over to a Pool and follow the instructions posted, for instance:

-v XX = your vote;  do not forget to use your wallet address instead of the example.

---> Congratulations, your HVC mining operations started.

11. If you want to mine at Heavycoinpool (https://heavycoinpool.com), you'll need the official heavycoin minerd (beta. this thread was updated on 13th March, please check the heavycoinpool site for updates and download accordingly)

Fire up your minerd:
-v XX = your vote;  do not forget to enter your worker configuration instead of the example.

---> Congratulations, your HVC mining operations started.

Please note that it can take time until blocks are confirmed and coins payed out.

If you wish to run this process in the background so it doesn't close once you drop the SSH connection, go ahead and use screen. When a screen session is detached, the processes that were running inside it are not stopped.

Launch screen
hit space, then launch your minerd as configured earlier:
ctrl+d detatches the current screen sessions and brings you back to the normal terminal,
you can re-attach your detached session by typing

All done, have fun!

POOLS

Hope you have a good one, be well.

Once you have configured your droplet, you may halt it in order not to burn credits and re-launch it after launch (8th March, 12:00 UTC). Here's how you do this:


1. Navigate to https://cloud.digitalocean.com (https://cloud.digitalocean.com) and choose your particular droplet by clicking on its name. First switch it off by heading to "Power off".

2. After it is powered off, go to "Snapshots" and create a Snapshot of your droplet. Enter any name you wish and click "take snapshot".  Wait until its processing is finished.

3. Destroy your droplet. Don't worry, you have a snapshot of it.

4. At any later time (before launch in this case) come back to https://cloud.digitalocean.com[/i]]https://cloud.digitalocean.com (http://[i) and create a new droplet. When creating, choose the snapshot you created earlier under "My Images", it is waiting there for you.  This will create a new droplet with the exact same configuration as the one you built earlier.


PS. Using this procedure you can also easily clone your droplets and create several ones!

where to mine ?

minderd doesn't work with ubuntu 13.10. I got "Stratum connection failed: Failed connect to stratum01.heavycoinpool.com:3333; Connection refused"
My command line was "sudo ./minerd -a heavy -v 512 -o stratum+tcp://stratum01.heavycoinpool.com:3333 -u Rainer4256.Rainer4256_1 -p xxxxx"
Any ideas? Thank you!

i get this?

Just try it without ".exe". That's Windows.

@instacash
Can you please tell me what kind of hashing speed you are getting from the 8 core plans. Thanks

I am getting zero accepted and the Warning: Your block reward vote exceeds the maxvote reported by the pool no matter what number i put in

I am using ubunto 13.1 x64 on Digital ocean

Any suggestions?

Fixed it, i pulled the wrong git repo needed  git clone https://github.com/1gh/cpuminer-heavycoin.git

I'm wondering this too please... my two rigs have only a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and a Celeron G1620, and they seem pretty useless for mining, so was thinking about trying some cloud mining. I may upgrade my CPU's (or build my next rig or two using dual CPU server/workstation boards), but would want to make sure it is worthwhile before doing so.

Any info is much appreciated...  Thanks!

Is anyone mining heavycoin with an FX 9590 black edition? and if so could you please post your mining speeds. Thanks

Currently I am mining with a 3570k running at 4.0ghz and an intel G1820 running at stock giving me 0.113 Total MH/s on 1Gh.com with an average of 40 coins a day.
would be nice to see what speeds other people are getting out there!

I'm mining with 2 E5450 and making around 57 heavy coins a day.

Hi everyone,

I have a question. I've got an eight core DigitalOcean VPS with Ubuntu 13.10 installed.

On heavycoinpool.com I'm getting 70kh/s on average. But Only got 0.9 HVC in 12 hour run so far.

Am I doing anything wrong? Or should I just wait more?

Is anyone using DigitalOcean VPS? how's the result?

Thanks in advance for replying. I appreciate your help.

An 8 core droplet (NY1) should yield you 190-200 khash/s on 1GH, depending on the particular droplet's performance.

Thanks for replying. I'll try 1gh on this droplet then. And when I created this droplet NY1 was not available so selected NY2. If it underperforms with 1GH too will destroy this droplet and create a new one.

A cc2x8large HVM Amazon EC2 spot instance, will yield 700 Kh/s and costs $0.26 / hour

can anyone here set up a mining pool for hvc for me?

Cloud mining HVC is not recommended anymore as GPU miners are available. Thread updated.
