**VERSION 1 - P2POOL**

1. sign up for a digitalocean account here:  https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=261c189a4aeb

Deposit at least $5 and add coupon *LINUX13* or *GIT10* to get $10 extra bonus

2. create the smallest droplet 512 MB/1 CPU - choose Ubuntu 13.04 x64

3. login via ssh (use putty) with your vps login details

4. execute the following comands

make a swap file:

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

install git:
        
        sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install git

clone cpu miner:

   git clone https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer.git    

compile the source code:

   sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev automake make

   cd cpuminer

   #Basic *nix build instructions:
   ./autogen.sh   # only needed if building from git repo (which we are)
   CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2" ./configure
   make

        apt-get install screen

        screen

   ./minerd --url http://whatever.poolyouwant.com:Port/ --userpass USERNAME:password

(for example: Dogecoin pool http:// pool.hostv.pl:9555 --userpass Dogecoinwalletaddress:password     or   http:// doge.crypto49er.com:9555)

in order to keep your sessions alive, use the command "screen" before running "./minerd"

when logging back again use "screen -r" to restore session

Digital Ocean is a great hosting solution, really. I like it for their quick setup, SSD and low prices.

But mining on 5$ DO VPS will give you about 2kh/s per core. And it's such difficult already to mine doges.

Better join a pool.

And for those who found my small advice valuable and saved some money:

Many thanks

sorry I'm new to this. what's the difference between ver. 1 and ver. 2?

can I mine from pools?

go to server usa 2 and you will get 6 khash/s.

create 5 instances in total you will reach around 35 khash totally

now join a pool. you will get around 2,500 coins daily, this method is currently used by myself

[FreePls]

mining scrypt with CPU cloud host is totally useless..  you will make around 80 doggies per hour on a pool, how you want to get back the $5 monthly investment with such a low reward?

mining cpu coins with that is much more profitable..

[virtualdn]

sorry I'm new to this. what's the difference between ver. 1 and ver. 2?

yes, you can mine with both from pools. better choose version 2 - works with any pool type. make sure you also choose server usa2- has better speeds

you will make around 2,500 coins daily with 5 instances. the value of dogecoin is rising, small risk while keeping your pc turned off.

i see 10,000 coins are now sold for $8-$10-->> so you already have $5 profit after just 4 days of mining

when you're mining with your home computer you're consuming a lot of electricity... on vps electricity is zero.

if $5 is a big investment then better not start at all...

dogecoin is now listed on cryptsy. join the mining.

[virtualdn]

updated with "screen" commands

[Papacrusher]

Can this be used for other cryptos?  Very nice tutorial!

of course, with the second version you can mine sha256 and scrypt coins as well!

If I close browse or putty, droplet will continue running ?

yes, but use the "screen" command before running "minerd"

when logging back again use command "screen -r" to restore your session

Thank you!!! very very good tutorial....but i have a question: i close my terminal, and then i re-open it, How can i see the status of hashing?

Thank you!!!! I promise you to give you 1% of my doge, of this month:)

to see status type "screen -r"   

[erross]

ok, I type screen -r


and...appear:


here are several suitable screens on:
   12404.pts-0.doge3   (12/19/2013 10:21:39 AM)   (Detached)
   12287.pts-0.doge3   (12/19/2013 10:05:08 AM)   (Detached)
Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.

...now??

...now??

it looks you have 2 running in background ... keep only one

use "screen -X -S {session # you want to kill} kill"

I can't get the final line to work... I type:

I'm using dogehouse pool and type ./cgminer --scrypt  -o stratum+tcp://dogehouse.org:3333 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password (filling in worker & pass) and get errors such as:

bash: ./cgminer: No such file or directory

when I try to use the OP and just start with the .minerd command I get:

./minerd: unrecognized option '--scrypt'
Try `minerd --help' for more information.

any thoughts?
