Hi all! I'm new to the forum, but I've been lurking for quite sometime.

Anyways, I wanted to test out the waters of some alt coins. I have been doing a bit of Philosopherstone and Dogecoin recently. I decided to try out Primecoin on DigitalOcean. I followed this guide:

http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2013/12/04/primecoin-cloud-mining-using-digital-ocean-complete-guide/

Seemed simple enough, and I had the dependencies thanks to Dogecoin mining on DigitalOcean. However, when I get to the last command (to start mining), nothing happens... The console just accepts the command and waits for another??? I retried it several times, changing the order of the primeminer commands, the port, the IP address, the password, and still it does nothing.

I also tried this guide for good measure:

http://techupdates.com/go/643377#

It seems pretty good since it will auto restart after any crash, however, I just get a ENOEXEC error when I type in the "tail" command, and then the console gets stuck!

If anyone could give me any suggestions or advice it would be much appreciated. If it helps, I am using Debian 7 x64 with the cheaper of the 2-core options. Thanks!

Could you tell us, what commands you are using to mine the primecoin? Maybe we might spot something.  Smiley

Thank for the reply, I was afraid that this was a giveaway only forum!

Code:
./primeminer -poolip=54.251.179.44 -poolport=1337 -pooluser=<Primecoin Address> -poolpassword=PASSWORD -genproclimit=2

I am in Asia, and I use my actual Primecoin address without the arrows (just too lazy to open it up right now).

Thanks again.
