Title: CPU Mining in the Cloud (example with XGM - Coin Magi) Post by: jtraverso on August 11, 2015, 04:51:12 AM Today I registered with http://www.softlayer.com/ they are offering
USD$500 to try the service using the code 500BUILD: "http://www.softlayer.com/info/five-hundred?utm_source=adroll&utm_medium=remarketing_banner&utm_content=500BUILD+336x280+JPEG&utm_campaign=adroll_south_america_high_intent (http://www.softlayer.com/info/five-hundred?utm_source=adroll&utm_medium=remarketing_banner&utm_content=500BUILD+336x280+JPEG&utm_campaign=adroll_south_america_high_intent)", for that money you can put to work 12-16 cores for a month ;) depending on your configuration. This method also works with Azure, Google Cloud (free trials) and AWS Free Tier. :o I selected an linux-ubuntu machine and installed CPUMINER. The following is an example of the steps needed to mine MAGI (XGM), you can mine others coins just by changing the .git for the right one for your coin: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install git screen automake build-essential libboost-all-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgmp-dev git clone https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-m7m-cpuminer.git cd wolf-m7magi-cpuminer-v2 ./autogen.sh CFLAGS="-O3" ./configure make sudo cp minerd /usr/local/bin then you can put a background process by calling: nohup minerd -a m7mhash -s 4 -o stratum+tcp://your_pool.com:your_port -u your_username.your_worker -p your_password & That way you don't need to have SSH on, to stop the process you can do "ps -ef" to get a list of the process running in the backgroung, get the id of the process and send it a "kill -9 pid".

XMG? Which pool do you use? Is it still profitable?
