I tried a few, actually had one hang on boot (which in DigitalOcean terminology means 'Active', yep, they charged me the 2 hours it was stuck...), when finally running the 4 had completely different pps. One got @ 14K, the others between 6k and 10k. None of them hit their full potential. Ran them for a few hours, found a couple blocks but that was back a few days. I think the 8 core droplets are/were the best bang for the buck, you could pretty much get an even pps distribution through those ones.


This...I have easily racked up five bucks in charges for instances that either never worked, or spent hours and hours hung executing processes. Kind of BS for a service that should have 99.9% uptime.

Question about Linux.. Server running Ubu 12.04 X64, and I want to copy all my files and wallet.dat and
everything that I currently have on one servers over to another servers. How would I be able to do that?

No, I do not use digital ocean. I cannot use snapshots.  What would you recommend?

If your server has SSH, you can down-/upload via SFTP.

Got my DigitalOcean stickers today!



You can request your own by emailing barry@digitalocean.com .

I had been having trouble getting my clients to sync up from time to time so I added these nodes posted by Sunny (original thread).

Wait what, stickers for free? Free shipping too?  Cheesy

Does anyone know how to verify if primecoind -daemon -keypool=10000 works?

Run primecoind getinfo and see keypoolsize. Also, the wallet size will grow to about 5MB with 10k keys.

Exciting day today, be sure to keep primecoind updated!

Code:
cd ~/primecoin/src
git pull
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
primecoind stop
mv /usr/local/bin/primecoind /usr/local/bin/primecoind_old
mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/primecoind
primecoind --daemon

Github has opened up the repo for use again?

Or are you pulling from some other repo now?

This will update whichever miner you've downloaded if you cloned it via git.

For the time being, VPS mining is still viable, but GPU mining could change that. It looks like there are a couple of attempts at getting GPU mining off the ground:

I've gotten some indication that someone is passing around a compromised version of Mikael H's high performance mining client. If you want to use his I strongly suggest downloading from source!

Code:
git clone https://bitbucket.org/mikaelh/primecoin-hp.git

Here are the commands one could use to get started with primecoin-hp, with extra nodes for downloading the blockchain.

Code:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.1++-dev libgmp-dev libminiupnpc-dev -y
git clone https://bitbucket.org/mikaelh/primecoin-hp
cd ~/primecoin-hp/src
make -f makefile.unix
mkdir ~/.primecoin
echo "rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass

It looks like something went wrong during make, odd you're the first person to have this problem.

Take a look at this, it looks like the problem you're experiencing.

When I used the Amsterdam droplets they provided much better PPS over the NY ones.  I never found anything with two of them in over a month of running, but if you're getting them for free why not.
