[XPM] Pool mining primecoin using DigitalOcean (VPS)

[twobits]

FYI, we discussed how to build it yourself and transfer it to your other instances. Using someone else's build is a bit reckless.

Perhaps, though probably not so much in a VM.   Also, thousands have downloaded my builds for the various coins over the years.  So I am not unknown for my builds.  Right now pretty much anyone that downloads a  devcoin buld  is running my builds, as it anyone running a downloaded osx nmc or ixcoin build.   And, well he did request it.  I usually only upload windows and mac builds unless I see a request.

Yeah, it worked with 5.1. Thanks.
But my second droplet, 5.3 is ok, after that makefile failed. Don't know why >"<

Me neither, but glad its working now!

Anyone care to post their pps? I'm getting around 150 on the smalls and 1500 on the 8-core.

EDIT: I should mention you will end up charging your card sooner if you use a larger instance.

I am seeing like 75-100 on the smalls and 700 on the 4cores.  What datacenter are you in?

Netherlands for the 8 core and SF for the rest.

Can I get detailed instructions on how to transfer coins from the droplets to my wallet?
Thanks.

There are a few ways, once its matured.

primecoind sendtoaddress yourhomeaddress amount

Before its matured:

from vps:

primecoind listtransactions # to get the receiving address
primecoind dumpprivkey $receiving_address

from home:

primecoind importprivkey $privkey_from_vps

I then remove the wallet.dat from the vps to get all new keys, though its not necessary.

Yeah, thanks for helping people who are too lazy to use Google get all the blocks.

You don't know me moron...OP is doing a great service here, don't let your greed make you troll random folk.

I don't need to know you to see that you need to beg on a forum for information that you could easily get from Google. OP is helping along people who have done no research into cryptos and just want to make some "magic internet money". By the way, you're the one using VPS services to mine, while I'm mining on machines I own. You call me greedy?

Or, conversely, they are people who truly believe in cryptocurrency and want to support an idea they believe in, and primecoin sure seems to have garnered the love of the community by utilizing novel algorithms.

How long have you been here again? I have been hashing away since BTC was $2. I am no moron when it comes to computers, but I am a biologist...my coding knowledge caps out with systat and excel statistical packages. I wouldn't have been able to piece this together without this thread. Is me mining on the primecoin network with additional resources somehow a bad thing? Is having a secure network bad? Is a solid and fair (READ: IT'S FUCKING FREE) distribution of hashing power detrimental to the survival and proliferation of XPM?

Your statement is wholly influenced by selfishness, profit, and greed, and you look like a giant asshole. You're really taking the moral high horse because you are too, I don't know...arrogant/stupid/proud to utilize free VPS service? Seriously, dude...go to bed. You're getting cranky.

So, you've been hashing for that long, and you still don't know how to use a *coind? I find that really hard to believe. No, you mining is not a bad thing, but refusing to do your own research and wasting other people's time to make money IS a bad thing.

And using VPS services is just trying to get more than your fair share.

Seriously, guy. How is utilizing resources available to me trying to get more than my "fair share"? The fact that you use the term fair share shows how delusionally entitled you are. Let me guess...early 20s, US, white, upper middle class. So let me ask you this...is someone who is driving a benz next to my shitty truck somehow getting more than their fare share? If anything, I would have to say that you are just failing to allocate your "fair share" by failing to use the tools at hand.

Furthermore, you understand that SOMEONE wrote everything on the internet, right? Sure, I could sit down and become a world class programmer...lucky for me, I don't have to bother learning a bunch shit I couldn't give a flying fuck about. I can rely on the culture of specialization that has emerged since the renaissance and let a programming specialist either carry out the task or teach me. Concurrently, you can rely on me to establish and implement regulation to preserve the world's oceans, or you can approach me and I will more than happily tell you everything I know. Teamwork, son. It's the way the world goes round for 99.99% of humanity.

Out of curiousity, did you make a single item of clothes you wear? Did you assemble your car from a mound of Taconite, rubber and silicone? How about your PC? Did you design your CPU and then build a fab shop by hand to make it for you? Sounds like you are just some lowlife, trying to get more than your fair share.

18 and black, lower class. Dead wrong. By using VPSs for something they aren't meant for, for something the owner would kick you off of it for if they knew, you're being a piece of shit.

I mean, I still got the age and location right, Carlton. You failed to answer ALL of my questions.

What, exactly, are VPS' meant for? Give us a quick rundown. What are the societally approved and sanctioned uses for the service for which I am both paying for, and of which I am happily abiding by the TOS? Why don't you actually read this thread and note the exchange I had with Digital Ocean, reproduced above, where they state they don't give a fuck. Also note that I told them EXACTLY what I am doing with their service.

To quote them, "Mine those bitcoins!".

So did you personally manufacture and assemble your PC and vehicle? Because if you didn't, you're being a piece of shit.

Fresh primecoind binary built on 13.04 x64.

Please sandbox or use in a droplet like any other binary you would find on the internet. Practice safe mining, kids!

Make sure you did:

Code:

mkdir ~/.primecoin

i can see this directory

and cd to it

I tired to nano a .conf file, but it denied me permission to save

also

I can not find primecoind anywhere on my system?

I did assemble my PC, maybe not from bare silicon, but I did build it. By the way, that's a strawman. I'm saying that you are wasting knowledgeable people's time by asking questions you could easily Google. This shows signs of not wanting to learn, but just wanting to learn how to make some "internet money" and dump it. And about the VPS, fine, I concede that point. It is not against their TOS, and while that's really not the purpose of a VPS, you're being more creative than anything.

Also, you were close with the age, and didn't mention a location.

How is that a strawman? You could easily learn to plot ICs and start laying your own silicone. You're wasting people's time by doing anything but.

Pretty much anyone can learn anything. It doesn't mean it's worth their time to do so. If knowledgeable people didn't want to answer these questions, they wouldn't answer, my man. As good as your intentions are, I don't think they need you to police their time in a butthurt, jealous, prideful rage.

[xavenged]

wow both of you guys are fucking annoying..

[rethaw]

Now that I have this site that gives credit card numbers, and I found another code for $10 I can make as many as I want, Just need to make more emails. I'm up to 10 drops running.

Has anyone made a script that could be run that would do all this automatically?

FYI, you do risk getting your account revoked if you sign up for separate accounts with the same info. You might lose access to some XPM!

Found it, as in got someone else's binary? I'm not sure what caused this error but my hunch is that you are using someone else's compile and the libraries aren't in the right place.

[superfluouso]

I was facing the same problem, found a solution from here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=110627.msg1204122#msg1204122

You'll need a bit of swap

Code:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

After compiling, remove swap:

Code:

sudo swapoff /swapfile
sudo rm /swapfile

For myself, this did the trick just fine

Hadn't occurred to me - Thanks - worked perfect.

Hm, not a clue. Anyone else have this problem?

[superfluouso]

Working better than EC2? Stop using cheap options and try the biggest cluster son  

It does work better than EC2, if you try a big instance let us know your results. Main reason I chose not to is the 8x CPU instance costs more than 8x the tiny instance.

I was able to get a microinstance at EC2 for free for 750 hours (1 year) since I just opened a new account.  The specs are the same as the smallest droplet at DigitalOcean with slightly more memory.  Currently at about 100 pps.

how to see my amount and address ?

how to see my speed ?

thanks

wow.. really?? you should not even be mining this coin if you don't have any clue how to do that.. let alone how to use the search feature on this forum/google..
