6. Log in to your droplet via SSH
7. Change the root password to something you can actually remember

./minicoind --daemon && watch './minicoind getinfo && ./minicoind getmininginfo && ./minicoind listaccounts'
--> Mining operations started. You will find your wallet.dat file in ~/.minicoin
Be patient, it should take a long time to find one block.
Alternatively, you may use the command
./minicoind sendtoaddress <minicoinaddress> <amount>
to send funds to another wallet.
If you wish to run this in your servers background so it doesn't close once you drop the SSH conncetion, go ahead and install "screen"
launch screen (should it not be installed:
sudo apt-get install screen)
press space, launch the miner
./minicoind --daemon && watch './minicoind getinfo && ./minicoind getmininginfo && ./minicoind listaccounts'
to restore the session when logging back in, use
