[Updated] Guide To Pool Cloud Mining Protoshares - Also get free PTS!

[BitshireHashaway]

when am I going to receive the 0.50 PTS reward? I look forward to it

When you PM me with proof that you signed up under me. Just saying it - especially someone like you who hasn't been around long isn't enough.

Guys, be on the look out for a guide to get free mining w/ Windows Azure free trial - free money for a month and then you can shut it down and take your earnings - no cost to you. Relatively newbie friendly (no entering code into a command console, its like setting up a new miner on Windows 7)

Looking forward to it.

Glad to hear it - I'm currently testing mine out along with the setup to make sure it all runs well - don't want to release an untested guide:) - so you can expect that ~Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday

[BitshireHashaway]

Thanks for the tut.

How many servers are you running and should we increase this count?

As well, how profitable is this if we're running 5x, in terms of PTS/day.

I was running 5, however now I'm scaling back operations to put more funds into testing Windows Azure (for which you guys should see a guide coming out for soon).

When I was running 5x of the $80/month I was making ~10% profit a day not sure of the exact PTS amount but the cost for the 5x $80/month is $14.40/day so I was getting ~$16/day in PTS. However, much more profit can be had from running 5x $20/month because they are 2 cores vs. the 4 cores of the $80/month - you could probably expect 100% profit on your investment.

Thanks for all the wonderful code recommendations guys! Remember if you have any recommendations relating to the code, I would highly appreciate them - or guides for how to do it with different clients (SSH Putty ect.)

If anyone is interested in helping me with my Curecoin cloud mining guide - or just in general offering services for Curecoin when it comes out, PM me!

Update: I have been getting some people requesting the reward just for signing up for me when they don't actually spend the $10. Please keep in mind you need to spend the $10 to get the reward.

Don't use his code! It will steal all your coins!

Huh?

[AceCobra1]

is the ROI better with 2 cores or 4 ? I was told the best place to mine PTS is AWS as they are cheaper ? But I can't find thier price list on the amazon website

I seem to get an error, when I type the

make -f makefile.unix

I get this error:

yasm -f elf64 -o obj/sha512_avx.o intel/sha512_avx.asm
make: yasm: command not found
make:*** [obj/sha512_avx.o] Error 127

Any ideas how to proceed ?

Install yasm

cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.0.1.tar.gz
tar zfvx yasm-1.0.1.tar.gz
cd yasm-1.0.1
./configure
make && make install

I signed up using your referral and spent $10.

Once you have logged in type in the following code in order:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix

git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer
cd ~/ptsminer/src

I follow this to here but wher ei can make this ~ i also go allways when try find some key with altgr+2 to some blackscreen where read some text with blue how can go back without boot?

That no need. But problem is when i write make -f makefile.unix there coming next:
yasm -f elf64 -o obj/sha512_avx.o intel/sha512_avx.asm
make: yasm: Command not found
make: *** [obj/sha512_avx.o] Error 127

I struggled through all of this and I finally got it working. I had the same problem with Yasm. Do this and then try the make command again:

apt-get install build-essential libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev zlib1g-dev yasm

Also, if you do that and

make -f makefile.unix

still doesn't work, try this:

make -f makefile.unix.no-chrono

Any ideas how I can find if my mining has actually started? What should my share/h be for a 2 core ?

Also, is there any other websites I could use with a cloud miner but with a Windows type OS so it is more familiar to me that I can use with the ypool ?

With regards to accessing the speed, do I check it in the protoshares wallet in the "collisionspermin" column ?

Thanks to this thread, I am now the proud owner of 0.07566606 PTS. 
What's it worth? Can I retire now?

Assuming that each PTS is worth $8, you have made a whooping 60 american cents... I guess you can treat your candy floss but any resultant bill from the dentist might need to be covered by more mining :O

me too had yasm issue, I suggest to add solution in 1st post

Is there anyway this to run digitalocean with ypool.net ?

I am have almost no luck with beeeer.org

Does ypool pay better? I may try to install it on Digitalocean this afternoon.
