Thanks, but this is a primecoin thread!
It looks to me like primecoin mining is highly profitable as it held against the bitcoin in the recent upswing!

It seems like home-CPU mining of XPM is dead??

Edited the OP for directions to start pool mining on beeper!
EDIT: I'm having some trouble accessing the stats page, but I have received a payout nonetheless.

Hi!
What kind of droplet should I make?

Whichever one you like, more cores means faster mining. That being said making several small droplets is my current strategy.

I'll write up more in the first post, but you can take a snapshot of a miner and create identical droplets. The limit is set by DigitalOcean and can be increased if you request it.

Bonus points: turn it into a service that starts at boot so you can clone a bunch of droplets! First, write a miner script: cd ~ echo ' cd /root/primecoin/src screen -d -m ./primeminer -poolip=54.200.248.75 -poolport=1337 -pooluser=Acrenf7WMZ3yFc7xkdbF8rGuuLw36Bkknr -poolpassword=PASSWORD -genproclimit=1' > startprime
chmod +x startprime Now make the service that will keep it alive: echo ' #!/bin/bash
until /root/startprime; do echo "Restarting miner">&2 sleep 1 done' > primeservice chmod +x primeservice Now you can edit crontab to include this service to start at reboot. Type `crontab -e`, and in the last line of the file add: @reboot /root/primeservice Now reboot the droplet with `sudo reboot`. When you've logged back in, check to see if it worked by sending `screen -r`. This should open the miner info. You can then `sudo poweroff` the droplet and take a snapshot. This snapshot is then used when creating a new droplet!

was anybody able to setup the primeminer to go against ypool? I couldn't make it work either using ypool.net nor the server ip.

I'm trying it right now, after I got a $5 comeback from DO. Does it work, everything alright with it?

Just wanted to say, someone appears to be mining using the address in the OP. Though I appreciate the donation, remember to change that address to your primecoin address!

The number of cores is equal to the number of CPUs.

I'm curious - does digitalocean still limit the max # of instances to 5? This is what I experienced last time - they wouldn't support primecoin mining.

Sorry for a noob question, How can I go back to mining screen after I exit by pressing Ctrl + A and D?

They will increase your instance limit if you ask them. Sorry for a noob question, How can I go back to mining screen after I exit by pressing Ctrl + A and D?
