Title: cheap cloudservers for mineing CPU coins (or apache, ts3 ...) rentable per hour Post by: horstman on May 25, 2014, 01:39:21 PM Hey guys,
if you want to mine CPU coins like Monero (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0) you probably need more CPUs. I found a nice page where you can rent servers per hour and where you can add multiple servers for getting more cores. My little guide is for cpuminer-multi because it seems, this miner is getting a bit better shares compared with simpleminer. If you want to donate me for that, i would be happy. Otherwise just use my referal link, because if you pay in 10$ i will recive some $ for free :) Bitcoin: 1KmqFFHJQMdsYVdGNDs3biC3ziiTZU6vSZ And here is the tiny tut: 1.) sign up useing my referal link (as i mentioned, i am getting some free $s if you sign up via my link): https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=0673101630f5 (https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=0673101630f5) 2.) for being able to use the servers, you must deposit 10$. I suggest useing paypal, because i don't like entering my credit card informations on the internet. 3.) activate this coupon code for receiving 10$ on digitalocean for free!! SSDMAY10 4.) create a droplet with 2CPU and 2 GB of ram (for example Ubuntu 14.04 64bit). You can have up to 5 droplets per account! 5.) per email you will receive the server IP and password. 6.) connect to the server via putty 7.) run the following commands for getting the miner: Quote sudo apt-get update Quote sudo apt-get install git make automake screen libcurl4-openssl-dev Quote git clone https://github.com/Lucasjones/cpuminer-multi.git Code: cd cpuminer-multi Code: ./autogen.sh Code: ./configure CFLAGS="-O3" Code: make After that cpuminer-multi is ready and compiled (if you have any problems here, message me, i will assist you) If it is ok for you for letting the putty-windows open you don't have to install any other programs. I always have the putty windows open on my second monitor. Otherwise you might want to install screen and run the minerd command with Quote screen -S I have my wallets on my windows computer which is running 24h per day, so i don't use screen. If the pool i am mineing is getting any problems, i will simply change it :)Now you want to choose a pool, i am useing the monerpool.com: for starting the miner you must go to the miner folder: cd cpuminer-multi (if you left the folder before) Starting command: Quote minerd ./minerd -a cryptonight --url=moneropool.com:5555 --user=pleaseenteryouraddresshere --pass=x -t 2 the Quote -t 2 is starting 2 threads. If you, for example, have a quadcore server, then set this to Quote -t 4 I hope this was helpfull for some people. It's a nice way for starting/testing cpu mineing. Also the server could be used for setting up an apache webserver, a teamspeak server etc! If you have any questions, feel free to message me.

I have tryed this and it's working. Also the coupon code!! I have currently running an apache webserver for testing wordpress and a teamspeak3 server for me and my friends. its nice and fast :) Terminal ubuntu was first a bit strange for me, because i normally only use windows, but its ok after reading your tutorial i was able to setup the miner for monero. It is still mining and hosting the apache and teamspeak3 server. Thanks again ;D ;D ;D |
