Agreed. I've paid for around $100 in digitalocean services for mining, I think cheating them with these coupon codes is terrible. The coupon codes are to get people interested in their service, not to be abused for high-usage instances.

I modified the program with the sunnyking change.
You can use this for your Droplet :


Only Prime.cpp and prime.h are modified, with notepad++
(change can be found here : https://github.com/primecoin/primecoin/commit/338e61568a32e74fa112edf1f3d8eee8d6780ae9)

I don't know if the direct link will go on. Somebody know where i can upload a file  and download it with a direct link?

Looks like the coupon code is dead!

If anyone is interested in upping the droplet limit from 5 to unlimited. I can tell you for 2 blocks worth 

Are you using the large instance? Mind sharing pps per instance? Thanks!

So has anyone mined any primecoin yet? My transaction still doesn't show anything but judging by the specs of the vps i'm not surprised.

finally out of newb purgatory here, that was annoying.

Now I can post and ask insightful questions like, "Hey, is there something wrong with the login screen, I can't connect?"

We have significant IT (read hacker) talents among the DT crowd, how about using those talents to track down the DDOS bastard and turn his motherboard into electronic goo?  Or at the very least sign him up for 10,000 COD subscriptions to various fetish magazines.

Di, we need to find a solution for this fast, I'm getting way behind schedule on my Wall-grinding task.  And if I have to do one more productive real-life thing offline cause DT is down and I can't ignore my responsibilities and stay up all night gambling and chasing my losses I'm going to lose it.
