"We've actually never seen anything like it before," Mitch Wainer II, DigitalOcean's head of marketing, told El Reg via email. "This increase in usage was the equivalent of our normal growth that we would do in 90 days, now in 2 days. We temporarily disabled NY1 and AMS1 for only new customers. SF was always available for everyone."
[DigitalOcean capacity fail] [Currency speculators floored two out of three of DigitalOcean's regions]
Over 18,000 people signed up to perform Primecoin mining, Wainer said. "Most customers were using a $10 promo code which allowed them to run a 512MB Droplet for 2 months." He confirmed that no DigitalOcean employee has been involved in promoting the cloud for its use among Primecoin devotees.
They had no limit on the use of the coupon, allowed a surge of customers to crash their network, and then called their new customers "idiots". Hopefully they've taken twitter access away from that support guy. The tweet that said "idiots" was from some random douchebag, not Digital Ocean.

I'm not sure is this related to DigitalOcean's miner rush, but I received this support ticket today: Greetings,
Preventing abuse is a top priority here at DigitalOcean, and we ask for your help in this ongoing battle. With that in mind, we would like to verify your account details.
Providing your personal information will allow us to better assist you now, and in the future. Please let us know the following: - Your name. - Your location. - Your phone number - The primary type(s) of traffic that will be sent from/to your droplet(s) (For example; `web traffic` or similar will suffice). a) Your public Twitter handle. b) Your public Facebook profile. c) Your personal/business website. d) Your personal/business blog.
We find that procuring some basic information about our customers to verify accounts is preferable to detailed billing and payment verification, as billing information can be falsified.
Please also note: None of the information we receive will be stored or used for any other purpose than initial account verification and abuse prevention.
Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing back from you soon. I didn't mind giving them my personal details. Afterwards I got a nice "Thank you for verifying your account" reply.

I'd buy that for a dollar bitcoin!

Received a PM: In terms of XPM wallet. I used your digitalocean referral code so I just need some quick help.
Do I need to have my privkey at hand if I have already imported it to my main wallet? I want to delete the wallet.dat off vps.. what do you recommend here?
primecoind stop rm ~/.primecoin/wallet.dat primecoind --daemon
and how can I download the wallet from the server?
Please provide as much info about the wallet part, as I am not too sure. Thanks for your help in advance.
Before you remove the wallet.dat export the private key for the accounts that have received coins, as in the OP.

I got that also, but didn't give them the last 4 items (I don't use them) and they came back asking how can they verify my account without that info! I asked what does that info have to do with my account? What a joke!

James Bertelson made it to my hate list for calling all miners "idiots"
It would be fun to see his computer mining any coins without his knowledge...

Ah okay i will try the guide on the first page of this thread then, just that someone told me that the qt in the guide i was trying was a bit faster on x64 systems. I'll try the guide from the OP and see if i can get this working.

Try with : cd ~/mikaelh2-primecoin/src.
Someone else is having difficulty with their VPS on Digital OCean? All my SSH connections dropped. Maybe a Hardware failure, or a DDOS.

that actually worked thanks, but tbh the rest of the guide (not the OP on this thread) is a sloppy mess. None of it works. At all. I am trying with the one from OP but first trying to delete all the crap that other guide put on my vps.
