tip - to everyone asking how to get better hash rate: use server usa2 when making droplet

There are 4 server to select: NEw york 1, New York 2, San Francisco 1 and Amsterdam 2, i chose for my first droplet New York 2, is right?

Another question, if i create 4-5 droplet there is a major consumption of my credit?

[virtualdn]

^yes it's correct. you will use more credit but will also collect more coins, faster.

tip: if you want to mine faster choose a plan with at least 2 cpus, difficulty is increasing so you will get doges faster

Thanks for the advice, now in my first droplet when i put screen -r there appear this:

root@novocaine:~# screen -r
There are several suitable screens on:

Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.

please i don't understand what i will type to stop the other sessions with exactly type.

Is there a way to get a bigger rate then just a few kh??? maybe buying a bigger package will help?
Also, you get $10 for free, what do you do with them? does it mean that if i am going for the $5 per month plan when i get $10 free i have another 2 months free?
Last question, this is to much work for me, when you say that you will setup everything for 1k dogecoin will it be everything so i will be ready to start the cloud mining?
Waiting for your response.

I will try to answer all 3 questions above:

1. to kill a session type "screen -X -S [session no.] kill"

2. buying a bigger plan helps / you are paying per hour until all credit ends - yes I setup everything, you just connect to the pool

3. kill each session like shown on point 1 - then start a new one with "screen", connect to the pool and restore it next time you login with "screen -r"

[Rycco]

Is it still profitable?

[jjwhitehead]

Im getting an error when connecting.It says cannot connect ()...any ideas?
thanks

[Kronkvist]

Hey what command do i wanna use if i wanna change the ip and miner, when the pool is has a new ip.
 ?

[donbamba]

I want you to setup everything for me for 1k doge.
Also what do you mean i run out of credits and in a few hours?
The plan that i pay is monthly payment not hourly so please explain this to me.

It only let me create 1 droplet.  I got a message saying "We're sorry, but adding another droplet will exceed your droplet limit. Please submit a ticket to have your droplet limit raised." 

[darthburnstuff]

Don't bother with this, it's a waste of time.  Here is my response when I asked to increase my droplet limit:

"There has been a response to your ticket:

Hello!

Cryptocurrency mining is very CPU intensive, and due to the shared nature of our CPU allocations large-scale cryptocurrency mining will seriously affect the quality of service we can provide to the neighbouring servers on the same hypervisors as servers running cryptocurrency mining operations.

So, while we do not specifically prohibit cryptocurrency mining, we do restrict accounts doing so to prevent large-scale operations from affecting our infrastructure.

Therefore, at this time, we do not provide droplet limit increases to accounts currently engaging in this activity.  This includes opening additional accounts for the purpose of mining.

We apologize for this inconvenience, but we have to do our best to provide fair usage for all our users.

Regards,
Support Team
DigitalOcean"

lame

Hello i don't understand how can you annonce 2500 coin a day with a assume rate of 30kH...

thx

[illodin]

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..

such low
 don't even reward

 

[prisonier]

80 doggies an hour in a pool ? I did it in a day ...

hmm so far im hitting 4.81 kh/s with 2 cores thats normal right? should i up to 4cores worth it?

[pangu]

is number of hasrate going up proportional with number of cores? meaning if i double the cores i double the hasrate? e.g. hasratedouble=1core -> 2cores
is number of hasrate going up proportional with size of ram? meaning if i double the size of ram i double the hasrate? e.g. hasratedouble=256mb -> 1gb
?

[virtualdn]

to answer all questions above, difficulty increased a lot, so it's normal to obtain much less coins now .

[yahma]

It never was profitable.  ~2kh/s on the $5/mo account..

If you crate 4 droplets (ie 4 virtual cores) you can get 8kh/s, but you are no longer paying $5/mo anymore.
