Hi sir, i need your help.. this is my first time using vps (linux base)

Can you give me command for :-
1.stop primecoind on the vps
2.delete wallet.dat  (i don't know where this wallet.dat location)
3.restart

Before you do this make sure you have imported the private key and the transaction is showing up in the wallet you've transferred to!

primecoind stop
rm ~/.primecoin/wallet.dat
primecoind --daemon

There is a lot of variability. I have seen 20-40. Others, please post your results!

No idea! What's the XPM exchange rate at? The VPS is cheaper than electricity for me!

So do we know yet what the performance is on EC2?

I would be willing to test out various computing sizes but I would be throwing money out the window since it would probably still take more than an hour to get a single block.

Also, wouldn't the admins on digital ocean be unhappy since you are actually utilizing the VPS 100% 24/7?

At 20-40 it might be worth it. Free is free anyways, especially since it is all luck at this point.

EC2 was giving mixed results. Check Vorksholk's posts.

SSH newbie question... if I close the connection will the processes continue running? I'm using putty if that matters.

Hello rethaw,

Apologize for bothering you.

I've got 2 droplets mining away at primecoin via your guide. Thank you! btw. At least it looks to my linux noob eyes like they are mining. I have the 'watch' command running, now how do I stop it? lol

Could you point me in the direction of somewhere I can learn more about what is happening here and how to monitor/use it all?

I've only ever mined in Win.

Thanks.

Ctrl+C to stop watch.

You can always ssh back in from another computer and look at what its doing. To learn about the different commands.

Was referring more along the lines of the ssh stuff and linux command line but I'll figure it out. Already familiar with the wallet daemon. Thank you.

Thank you rethaw for the easy tutorial (and the $10 free credit code). Just set up a few Droplets, let's see what they can do.
BTW, what's your XPM address? I'd tip you some Wink

EDIT:
Speed reports:
1st Droplet: 28pps
2nd Droplet: 70pps

I'd buy that for a dollar bitcoin!

What is the billing rate?  Is it a per/month charge, or do they actually charge your account per hour?
