You don't need a virtual desktop. You need to use "screen"

Please elaborate? I have a very, very limited knowledge of Linux.
You're saying that I have to install the GNU screen application on the mining VPS servers? Is that it?
That is correct. You only need to run your process via screen and the process will continue running whether you are connected or not.
Alternatively you could put a reference to your script into rc.d and it will run when the system boots.
You've got lots of options.
