[XPM] Pool mining primecoin using DigitalOcean (VPS)

[itod]

Is there a way to send my wallet.dat from the vps to my machine?

Thanks in advance!

You can copy it, but importing private keys is easier...

I would just like to learn the copying as well. How do I do that. Thanks!

It may be easier but if u just copy wallet.dat you dont have to import the private key from every block mined. You can just copy the wallet.dat to your main wallet and start the server mining and leave it. No need to check for blocks mined because they will automatically show up in your wallet.

Thats all well and good, but what happens if it gets compromised or your have a dodge host who has the same thought

The main reason I got excited about this coin is that it offered an innovative proof of work. It is exciting to see all the mining efforts going against previous world records for prime chain lengths.

This could happen whether you copy your wallet.dat or not.

does anyone know the command to set primecoind --daemon to run at boot?

[swordfish6975]

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Add the following text, right above the line that reads “exit 0″:

primecoind --daemon


perhaps? (havent tried)

[markm]

In the crontab of the user who runs the coin daemon, use @reboot instead of the year month week day stuff for when to run it.

My point entirely, you'd be better off just sending the matured coins too a home wallet thats not sitting on a providers drive somewhere

Yep, that'll do it.

EDIT: I can't vouch for this other guy's build though!

How do i replace the ancient version with the new one, without delete/recreate my droplet? And keeping the same wallet

Good question...I tried but get a fatal error after doing the make upnp line.

Code:

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

If you guys are talking about this other guys build you need to run:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev

...before make.

I replace it.  Here, lete me help you out some on linux.  I move the old files out and then create a new section.

primecoind stop
cd ~
mv primecoin old4
git clone https://github.com/mikaelh2/primecoin

cd ~/primecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
mkdir ~/.primecoin
echo "rpcuser=miner2
rpcpassword=test2
gen=1" > ~/.primecoin/primecoin.conf
sudo mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/.

primecoind --daemon

Thx a lot
I did it without this part :

mkdir ~/.primecoin
echo "rpcuser=miner2
rpcpassword=test2
gen=1" > ~/.primecoin/primecoin.conf
sudo mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/.

The file was created the first time, dont need to redo it i think.
