Id appriceate some pts coins, havent earned much with my i3 but ill look into the digi ocean and appreciate this guide, following it now

PrY4bWzwjBz7czjqW35QvrYz8wGvM3RXrk

Just did this and dropped the $10 to try it out with your affiliate link, even though difficulty just went up 5x! Probably not still profitable, but we shall see.

Pv38QQwP5sVeZzmis4rjJSyxRQVPiZnYuw

I edited the mine.sh and ran it but got "error CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set on make"

Initial indications are that it is still fine. Will see in a few hours. If you did DO with the $10 credit, i will give you early access to the $200 free credit guide.

What droplet are you running? Screenshot of putty would be helpful.

Sweet :D

Digital Ocean doesn't boot you for stuff like this btw?

Edit: Actually I got the same error --

My droplet is Active 8GB Ram 80GB SSD Disk New York 2 Debian 7.0 x64

Resolving deltas: 100% (69/69), done.
g++ -O3 -march=native -c -o jhlib.o jhlib.cpp
jhlib.cpp:1:0: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set
make: *** [jhlib.o] Error 1
./mine.sh: line 8: ./jhProtominer: No such file or directory

solved by removing the march=native flag in mine.sh g++ call

I'm using multiple service. Probably did the wrong compile flags. Lemme play with it for a sec.

Yeah -- I just removed march=native in the g++ call and its fine, getting 50 collisions/min ish, dunno if it could be a bunch higher if it was 64-bit

Yup came to the same conclusion. Updating the autorun script now.

It still hasn't mined a share either :( Hoping the collisions/min isn't too low for shares

A watched miner never finds blocks. I've got quite a few.

Script updated. Works now.

Hehe sage advice. 5 shares now...

Thanks! Just started!

Im using debian as per your guide

YPool website is down

Delete the mine.sh script, and download it again. It has been updated.

It happens. Should be up soon again though.

Signed up under you and did a $25 credit

In your initial post, step 1 should be corrected to link to ypool.net not ypool.com :)

How do I launch multiple sessions? Open multiple putty's?

Thanks for the guide

Thank you man truly, your modded sh worked and I have a couple droplets running. when I earn some pts from these ill send a couple your way for the help

But did you say in your original post you would be willing to send a few PTS our way in the mean time? :)

I cant believe you mined so much in that image!

How do you make it so when you make an image and clone the droplet the program starts running automatically?

Got it.. an edit on the crontab

I get stuck on 9 - it keeps on saying that it's a directory when i try and change the password.  Any fix for a noob?

Thanks:
PoS9KHsjvhA7QuUVLHEA3yAbCi1jjkhT1h

Same problem, says it's a directory when I try to change pool information. How do I stop/pause the miner to put that in? Thank you

try "nano mine.sh"  (without "") to edit it.

DigitalOcean miner created and loaded with 10$ via paypal, worked fine until the pool went down sometime today :/

Pool down. Will try to write another guide.

Here is a guide how to mine PTS with beeeeer pool while ypool down. Now Beeeeer has as fast miner as ypool (seems like they copy-pasted jh00's algorithm) but beeeeer charges much more reasonable fee

[GUIDE] Cloud mining PTS with Beeeeer pool:

Use an SSH client like Putty to login.
Run this 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 dos2unix
sudo apt-get install yasm

git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer
cd ~/ptsminer/src
make -f makefile.unix
./ptsminer <your PTS address> <number of threads>

see your coins grow at http://ptsweb.beeeeer.org/user/<your PTS address>

If this guide helped you to mine some coins please send your tips to PkJZUGQYxASg8h7hQ8gGAqs4Q4avTyg7q2

Thanks!

                                           Thanks you  :)

how can it still profitable? digital ocean 4CPUs cost 80$/month.

How many coin per day if run with this instance? What is collisions/m?
And where is the exchange to confirm the profit?!

is this still profitable?  lets assume the price goes up 10x?

thoughts?
 

PuKic6jEbTJcDMhQLTub4pnC9UCmFfL5tx

could you update the script on protoshares.net so it points to ypool again? its minable at port 8081, but the script now points to beeer pool, which is down atm.

are you sure i just connected a few minutes go

must have just gotten up again then  :-\ seems to work now yeah.

Beer is up. Will have to fix the guide.

i will have a try！ PtF91vyA9ipsmqYFTXuW7rVdvSkqgQTPr7

Thanks for the Beeeeer guide - I just got a droplet up and running (used your referral link), and everything seemed to install correctly.
However, the mining speed is rather slow, I am getting 44.5 c/m, while I get 87 c/m on an Intel 4 core i5 running 3 threads.

It appears that the 8 cpu cloud instance running 8 threads is under-performing.... my lowly desktop is finding collisions at a 5 to 1 ratio over the Digital Ocean server.

Any thoughts?

PcGUoRite52tgEpbd5mv3dgdZi16TUkWzd

VPS/virtual cores are always going to perform less then physical cores, because those VPS cores are emulated.

Does this guide work well with beeeeer?

Beeeer Guide is on the 2nd page :)

Just a side note: if you are running ubuntu, you need a different lboost library:

apt-get install libboost-chrono1.48-dev libboost-filesystem1.48-dev libboost-system1.48-dev libboost-program-options1.48-dev libboost-thread1.48-dev

Worked great for me.

PcGUoRite52tgEpbd5mv3dgdZi16TUkWzd

Just saw it. How much is it to get 4 or 8 cores on Digital Ocean? I like the price of the $5 package, but it's only one core like the Amazon AWS.

Still trying to figure out how to mine these, so any freebies would be much appreciated!

PYgKXzXNGt4HANJpVzk9Kox3F64UcpSbcZ

Hey guys,

Just finished talking with a cloud hosting provider. I will be able to get everyone free $200 credit. Let me do some playing around, figure out some benchmarks before giving out the code.

Thank you, super3.

Wow! Thanks, man. I'm looking forward it.

mine.sh


there no more jhProtominer in there?! This script automatically mine for other user, please be careful when run it. Such a bitch!!

yes please :)

Pb84GPLqyqRk5UtWwSbfY2UggAQkdsqNNH

thanks

Sorry about that I was using it to launch my miners as well. That correctly compiles the beer miner while yPool was down.

yPool is currently down, but the guide is updated.

Thank You For The Guide!

Spent $10 while using your reference to get a few cloud mining going hopefully it's not for nothing.  :P

With the new script, I'm stuck at step 9 again?  Can someone tell me what to do from a noob perspective?

Thanks!

I did what you said and I'm getting this:

However, yPool shows that I'm not getting anything, why is that?

Looks like you're running beeeeeer's.  PTSminer, right?

I stopped Digital Ocean... Even with the price of PTS hitting $10, it's almost at break event.

Doing AWS spot instances is working ok today... I expect that will also dry up before long though.

Looking forward to a $200 credit though, Thanks Super!
PcGUoRite52tgEpbd5mv3dgdZi16TUkWzd

thanks is working but using beeeeer pool so hard to find a share... :(

what do i enter for number of threads :s

if ur cpu have 8threads run 7
I've tried it work better for me
 :s

Gonna be honest, I don't have a clue how many threads my cpu has, I'm just using the digital ocean, and I don't know a single thing about cpu :)

Happy to admit I'm a sheep :D

if u using this plan blow
4 CPU / 8 GB, and Debian 7.0 x64
run 7

:)

Thank you :)

I just got my 80 dollar thing mining protoshares, I used your link on the first page to sign up I think, though I already had an account, so I am not sure if it accredited you with it.

If it did and I've done it correctly my address is:

PeQcjv8XQ8cwzRCtx5gP1S1GvLsNHaJxUy

If I didn't do it correctly, I can only apologize for my ineptitude.

Thank you anyway :)

PqoxTiPnqqV4yrEaPewbVQzzK4myH1A2qc thanks

Difficulty increased 6x-8x times for second time already. Its gonna be hard to mine on any pool now.

Super, any update on possible $200 credit? The sooner we get it the more coins we mine before difficulty jumps again. But no pressure, man.  :) Free is free.

Working on it now.

i did last night
thanks  Po2xUj4DaYGqbPnhQhCW8HJse39Co58tbv

by the way
i have 3 droplet 8GB 4Core, each at 50% CPU (m512 t 8 ) 50.0000 max, isn't it possible groove to 100 % of CPU.
now it cost 7$ for 24h but mined only 0,4 PTS on ypool...

any suggestions?

getting 'memory segmentation' errors from digital ocean, used the script exactly as outlined. looking for help, someone said post error, I did, no reply anyone else have any suggestions?

- used you affiliate code (you are welcome)
- posted my wallet address got nothing.
getting pissed off...
wasted $5.

anyone have a copy of ypool.sh?

 You can mine on beer using my guide on page 2. I personally use Beer on Linux and ypool on Windows. New beer miner is very good.

Beeeeer's been down for a few hours.  I was looking for an alternative

You're right. My Linux miners do nothing😞 Switching them to XPM mining until pool is up.

Guys,

newbie,question, how many workers do you set for 8GB/4CPU on DO? 15?

Thanks,

Mike

PhWQtAz2wHX3dPk4DrDRma8StNK5PFapW8

Thanks and GL!!

 ;D

Workers?? From my understanding ONLY ONE - unless I'm wrong and someone can correct me.

Do you mean how many threads?? I'd say about two threads per cpu... 4CPU => 8 threads. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi,

yes threads, i think threads is same as workers. Notice when you run the command the number of threads is same as workers

Ok. I don't which miner you are using, but workers - strictly speaking - are not the same as threads. Workers are set up on the pool's website, they have names like eg. myusername.pts_1 and myusername.pts_2 ... and you use them for running on different systems. (Perhaps on your miner threads are called workers, I don't know.)

I'd signed up before this giveaway :(

Could you send me some PTS anyway, please? :)

Anyone using DO should be aware that they will lock your account if you have more than one. And they wont unlock it unless you close the other one and will ask you all these questions before they do it.

If I started the mining process with Beeeeeeeer, does it stop when I exit the PuTTY window?

PueTatEjP7Gm1YPdaFRQTdfYHD3pCBnkfx

Use nohup or screen commands in the shell, they don't close when you log out.
