Digital Ocean Solo Mining Guide For Super New Coin "Vertcoin" CPU only!

[GreekBitcoin]

This is fun...

But how can I see my own vertcoin address?

With

vertcoind listaccounts I get this:

{
    "" : 0.00000000
}

So, balance is zero. Ok. But isn't my own vertcoin address supposed to be shown in between the ""?

Thanks!

you write this!:


vertcoind getaccountaddress ""

Same for me, that's the question I was about to ask.
I guess it may then be normal if it happens for both of us...

Thanks for your feedback Greekcoin, and this whole thread. It was fun getting into VPS mining

But I am wondering about the hashrates I get on Digital Ocean.
One the 8-core machines I got anything between 1400 and 4600 hashespersec. There is a bit of fluctuation, but on the average, some droplets are by a factor of 2-3 faster than others.

Any explanation for this? Are the cores also virtual, so it depending on a bit of luck, what CPU performance you get?

Any a bit disappointing: only 4000 hashes/sec on a 20 core machine. Any idea why this might happen? Thanks.

you write this!:


vertcoind getaccountaddress ""

so when im writing this im getting and address, but what next, it's still:

{
    "" : 0.00000000
}

Really? I get a valid Vertcoin address, when I type this.

Copy and paste this

vertcoind getaccountaddress ""

with ""

[GreekBitcoin]

just write this without changing anything:

vertcoind getaccountaddress ""                      

as is! Copy paste! And it will show your address.

Hi , this is my state of mining :

{
    "blocks" : 8729,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 0.03820623,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : -1,
    "hashespersec" : 1633,
    "networkhashps" : 7901943,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "testnet" : false
}

they are good ?

 "blocks" : 8729  those are the blocks. Since it has downloaded them and it isnt stuck at 0 or somewhere low it means you are connected
"genproclimit" : -1   means that you mine with all available cores
"hashespersec" : 1633 and this is your hashrate. Its quite typical i think. Although still much better than mine that was around 800


yep you are good

Now that a pool is ready to be started (https://vtc.pool.pm/), what am I supposed to do to mine there once its on?

Run the miner software they are going to provide you with.

it say here what to do https://vtc.pool.pm/index.php?page=gettingstarted

probably i will make a guide for DO also. But i think that solo is still better..

[Jiyome]

Yeah actually that's what I would like to know, how to use Digital Ocean to mine through the pool.
It would be really nice of you to make a guide for that too!

Hi how do you run multiple droplets and have them mining, bit of a newbie to this thanks!

Hi how do you run multiple droplets and have them mining, bit of a newbie to this thanks!

You create more droplets and do the same...

Or you can make an image of your first droplet and make the others from the image of your first...but i always just make more droplets and follow the guide...

Just trying to set this up as a test run, but I'm getting an error on the makefile.unix step...

Code:

g++: internal compiler error: Killied (program cc1plus)

Seems to be when compiling init.o and init.cpp files.

Any ideas?


Looks like it's most likely an issue with system ram on the instance I'm running.

so i am not sure how efficient is CPU mining now and if it will in the near future.

Is there interest for pool mining guide?

Hi experts / mods .. newbie here.. would appreciate your help

I have just started mining for VTC a day ago ..

I used vertcoind getaccountaddress "" yesterday .. and I got an address.. I used this address to receive a payout.
In my console currently, when I am "watching" the blocks ... I can see the transferred VTC in my balance.

no problem so far...


now here is the weird part ...

I just tried vertcoind getaccountaddress "" now.. but I see a different wallet address being displayed.

I thought I would see my same ol wallet address.. but no! ..

Is this the expected behavior? What wallet address should I use to link to a diff pool now - the old one or the new one that I am seeing?


hope i clearly explained my problem...
thanks in advance for your help
