Its a CPU miner, not GPU

Its a CPU miner, not GPU Yes I'm aware of that. Is there a good rule of thumb as to how much ram is needed? Does the amount of threads (CPU cores) increase the amount of ram required?

configure: error: in `/root/maxcoin-cpuminer': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details
I wish we had a pre-compiled version... it doesn't want to work for me. I made sure every single command syntax was right up until then. I seems to also say cpu-miner.c:36:21: fatal error: jansson.h: No such file or directory #include <jansson.h> ^ compilation terminated.

Hm... I tried with another set of instructions to get a basic scrypt minerd on there and even it has issues with executables: http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=321.0./configure CFLAGS="-03" checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether make supports nested variables... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/usr/local/cpuminer': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details
I'm going to have to ask them for a refund in the morning. What a shame.

That is CFLAGS="O3" ... with an Oh, not a zero

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqF_ZhGevAImade a vid, hope this helps. (no swap created in the vid but a separate user. If you run a vpn/dedi you might want to disable ssh for that user, and consider if sudo rights a necessary. EDIT: i recognized the quality is very bad, for some strange reaso youtube is not converting to HD even if the video is HD, i redo it tomorrow eventually…

try this. I am ubuntu. This works fine. cd maxcoin-cpuminer sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libjansson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev unzip automake autoconf export OBJECT_MODE=64 ./autogen.sh CFLAGS="-O3 -msse2 -march=native" ./configure make

zip md5 = 59df705900e78c52c989ceb08dc55bb6 Make sure to check the md5 to be the same as the file on maxcoin.co.uk! I mirrored the official file on dropbox in case the official site should be ddosed, but you may check this exact md5 hash to confirm this yourself.
In step 11b, how do I check the md5 value? What do I type? In step 12, I type screen and get the following error. What do I do? bdarnell@BillsMiner:~/maxcoin-cpuminer$ screen Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check

All you have to do is copy paste. is this guy come from MaxCoin dev teams? can his maxcoin-cpuminer be trusted? is this official miner from MaxCoinProject dev team or not?
As you can read in my guide I am not affiliated with the MaxCoin dev team. The cpuminer was downloaded directly from the official site, md5 sum 59df705900e78c52c989ceb08dc55bb6 / As stated in the guide you can and should confirm this yourself. Apparently the file has been temporarily removed from the maxcoin site, it was available yesterday for many hours. ( https://twitter.com/stacyherbert/statuses/431181082310897665) In step 11b, how do I check the md5 value? What do I type?

@all: To all experienced with droplet mining before. Is it better to use 1 droplet with 8 cores or 4 droplets with 2 cores?
Anyone has measured the difference?

Hello first off thank you but I'm definitely a n00b as well stuck at step #8...
I was able to add another USERNAME, but a little confused by how to enter in this next part
echo 'USERNAME ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers
Is this all one line, also, what do you mean by the symbol ' ?
for instance, one line each: adduser econcrypto5 echo 'econcrypto5 ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers

hmmm not quite sure the problem bash: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied Your sudoers file is broken, you most likely didn't execute the right command syntax earlier. You will have to destroy your droplet and start again.

No problem, if you run into errors just post them here and you'll be helped so this is what i got... maxlegendary7@maxlegendary6:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16sudo: >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 31 <<< sudo: >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 31 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 31 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin Unfortunately you still have a syntax error in your sudoers file. Make sure that you don't put it elsewhere first so the encoding of ">>" doesn't change. echo 'xxx ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers You have to put it EXACTLY the same as this, copy and paste it. It works. PS. You might as well skip this step and run your mining op as root.

From cbuchner1's cudaminerThe new keccak code seems faster than a CPU I think. Q9550 @3.4 Ghz (one core) minerd-maxcoin --algo=keccak --benchmark 1151 khash/s. i3-4130T @2.90GHz (one core) minerd-maxcoin --algo=keccak --benchmark 599.59 khash/s. ( ?? must be a fluke, lots of stuff running on this machine) Celeron G1630 @ 2.80GHz (one core) minerd-maxcoin --algo=keccak --benchmark 1020 khash/s GTX560-448 cudaminer --algo=keccak -d 0 --benchmark -L16 -l F14x16 28468 Kh/s I could not get cudaminer to run on my Quadro 295NVS. Not sure of the kernel parameters, it wouldn't start (not that I would want to run on this card anyway). you all know you're doomed with you CPU farms xD
