sudo wget http://stonefoz.myfastmail.com/cpuminer-quark.zipWhen I enter the above line, I get a 403 Forbidden error

I know, I know... but the thing is I cannot help it because even though I am an absolute gentleman... I also happen to be a CheekyChappy after all:)

Good that you're mentioning it! Apparently the link that hosts the file cpuminer-quark.zip is down. It hasn't been earlier today. Please wait a second, I'll post a working link and update the guide edit: here you go, this will fix the issue. sudo wget http://146.185.130.131/cpuminer-quark.zip

@1BTCexperiment, what's your issue? this is a guide and it refers to DO, why you don't want me to add a ref to the guide is beyond me @CheekyChappy, guide works perfectly fine, if you get errors you did something wrong (all you have to do is copy and paste my steps, actually...). If you are looking for help, where are you stuck? @bittick, keep up the mining operations bro +1

The strange thing is the worker is still not active... by now it should be active but still has the 'x' next to it showing inactive.

No problem at all, glad to help! Are you using correct worker login and password details in your client? for example ./minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://prt.coinmine.pl:6080 -u cheekychappy.worker1 -p password1
Also, do you see credit coming up under "Transactions"?

When I enter the code to create the swap file..
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16 sudo mkswap /swapfile sudo swapon /swapfile I get the following:

You're right, it seems like your sudoers file is indeed broken. Please scrub your droplet, start from scratch and try it again exactly like this. echo 'anticlimax ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers Cheers! If it still doesn't work just post and I'll be glad to help.

Hmm... with 8 core plan, I am only getting ~400kh/s.
What's up with that?

Hi there Meebo, you might want to destroy that particular droplet and create another one. On which location are you, New York 2? NY2 works best for me. In my experience not all droplets are the same, sometimes there can be one that performs less well. You should average about ~ 650 kh/s on the 8 Core.

Destroy it and create another one, see how it performs. I have several ones (both 4 CPU and 8 CPU) and I noticed that some perform better than others, so I use to destroy the bad ones and create new ones instead which I keep. By the way, after creating the first cpuminer droplet I made an image of it, so whenever I want to launch another cpuminer droplet I just select the image to create a new one and can start to mining right away without having to set it up. Like this, it's easy to set up a new mining instance for any CPU coin in an instant. To create the image you have to temporarily shut down the server. My best performing one at the moment: [2014-01-02 04:56:37] accepted: 6/6 (100.00%), 724.78 khash/s (yay!!!)

HI, Thanks for your guide, it took me a while but I finally got it up and running. Question regarding screen, I input the code while the miner is running and nothing seems to happen, how do I go about making this work? If you wish to run this in your background so it doesn't close once you drop the SSH conncetion, go ahead and install "screen" Code:
sudo apt-get install screen
Thanks again EDIT: Nevermind figured it out just stopped the miner and ran the command, making a snapshot now too with all this done!

If I get several 16GB 8CPU droplets and start mining this again, is it still worth my while?
What sort of coins are you generating daily on 5x 8CPU droplets?
Thanks
