I'm stuck here:

sudo unzip maxcoin-cpuminer.zip
sudo: unzip: command not found

Make sure that you installed all dependencies including zip in order to be able to use the unzip command

11a. Install dependencies

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev zip

That worked. Thanks for your help. Now this:

cd maxcoin-cpuminer
bash: cd: maxcoin-cpuminer: No such file or directory

Can I just use windows server? Will Ubuntu be much better?

[humorme201]

use sudo -i and it will make you root...then you can run the next set of commands.

[AtlasONo]

lol

[instacalm]

cd maxcoin-cpuminer
bash: cd: maxcoin-cpuminer: No such file or directory

After you downloaded the files using wget, use the cd command in the same directory.

use sudo -i and it will make you root...then you can run the next set of commands.

Still get this:

sudo -i cd maxcoin-cpuminer
-bash: line 0: cd: maxcoin-cpuminer: No such file or directory

This is what mine says now.  Once the maxcoin server starts tomorrow it should start mining correct?  I am pointed to http://max.minecrypto.net:3337  with my username and pass.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since the developers decided to delay the launch: "MaxCoin ‏@maxcoinproject: After some issues arising from the huge traffic we will be delaying the launch of MaxCoin to 7.30PM GMT tomorrow." -- I suggest you to halt your droplet(s) in order not to burn your credits even though you're not actively mining.  Here's how do to this:

1. Navigate to https://cloud.digitalocean.com and choose your particular droplet by clicking on its name. First switch it off by heading to "Power off".

2. After it is powered off, go to "Snapshots" and create a Snapshot of your droplet. Enter any name and click "take snapshot".  Wait until its processing is finished.

3. Destroy your droplet. Don't worry, you have a snapshot of it.

4. At any later time (tomorrow) come back to https://cloud.digitalocean.com and create a new droplet. When creating, choose the snapshot you created earlier under "My Images", it is waiting there for you. This will create a new droplet with the exact same configuration as the one you built earlier.

PS. Using this procedure you can also easily clone your droplets and create several ones!

I'm going to destroy the droplet and try again. I must have screwed up somewhere

Any issues setting this up on an Azure trial instead of DigitalOcean?

No, should work just fine.

Thanks. And any other freebie cloud companies we can try? I am aware of HP and Joyent, but not sure of any others. It could be worth setting them all up, point to the Max pool ... and see how it does.

Although I had issues signing up for HP and Joyent had login issues when I tried it.

 cd maxcoin-cpuminer

any idea where i am going wrong?

[anyone4u]

how u supposed to use the cpu miner for kai? When u open the package, it shows no cmd like cgminer has. Also how u run it like minerd -a scrypt --keccak or is that one possible to use and not keisers own miner which seems to be missing the program to run?

This is the source code.  After you compiled minerd, you can use --help to find out how to use it:

./minerd --help

Code:

fork@instacash:~/maxcoin-cpuminer# ./minerd --help
Usage: minerd [OPTIONS]
Options:
  -a, --algo=ALGO       specify the algorithm to use
                          scrypt    scrypt(1024, 1, 1) (default)
                          sha256d   SHA-256d
                          keccak    Keccak SHA3 (MaxCoin)
