LINUX: wallet & miner in linux / cloud / raspberryPI (MANUALS, SCRIPTS)

[drakoin]

This was the first launch H20 coin. Don't know yet what applies to the relaunch version.


# h2o coin

# your wallet in the cloud - compile and install from github sources
# Create your cheap linux virtual server (VPS) in the cloud in 55seconds
# Buy 5$ droplet e.g. at digital ocean http://tiny.cc/digocean NL USA Singapur

# You can build your H2Od wallet on that server.

# h20 coin is a bit special :-) and first caused some errors,
# thanks a lot to mmouse for the help during the chaotic start.
# Hopefully all problems are solved here with this manual.

# To understand, what the following commands are doing
# read the first posting #1,
# and the newest posting with explanation #16

# If your server is brand new, you need to prep it for compilation & building,
# just do everything in posting #1 until "get the wallet source", then continue here.

Here is a strong opinion about not putting wallets onto VPS, and good reasons:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg6043485#msg6043485

What I take from it is to keep no large balances on not self-owned computers.

Heartbleed (CVE-2014-0160) infos  - incomplete:

after upgrading your droplet to newest versions by:

Code:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

you should reboot:

Code:

sudo shutdown -r now

and then check if you have a safe version of openssl

Code:

dpkg -l | grep "openssl"

for example "1.0.1e-2+deb7u6" is patched.


Then I guess, all wallets need to be recompiled, using the above instructions?

Newsflash:

We’re very excited to announce that now when you refer a friend to DigitalOcean, you’ll BOTH receive free credits.

Share your referral code link to give anyone a $10 credit to get started on DigitalOcean.

So when you use my referral, www.tiny.cc/digocean,
you will have $10 = two months smallest droplet
(or one month two droplets) for free.

Enjoy!

[rikkejohn]

these offers are eveywhere, and you still have to pay 5 dollars to get started.

[lobo13hf]

Gonna try you ref link after my vps month is over, i have a question, i have install a pool on my VPS but how do i install another one on it? other coin differnt algo, can you tell how to make a subdomain if i have to on my server or different folder, i need the commands thanks...

[drakoin]

these offers are eveywhere, and you still have to pay 5 dollars to get started.

Thanks. I didn't know that - because myself, I did start with paying, and didn't find that odd :-)
But 5$ is really not much. And imagine, besides whatever you do, you can run a tornode on it, and help the world.

Gonna try you ref link after my vps month is over,

Thanks, yes please do that. If you already have a D.O. account, you might need to log out, and start all over with a new email address, after clicking on my referral link, and that way help yourself to that 10$ welcome package.

i have a question, i have install a pool on my VPS but how do i install another one on it?

not sure that I understand you.

Have you installed a WALLET to your VPS (like my manuals above),
or actually POOL-SOFTWARE (like mpos or p2pool) ?  I have no clue about poolsoftware.

But I guess pools can operate on one server with many different coins in parallel, just by using a different PORTNUMBER for each coin, right?

other coin differnt algo, can you tell how to make a subdomain if i have to on my server or different folder, i need the commands thanks...

I have no domainnames for my D.O. droplets, just using the IP addresses, sorry cannot help, I guess.

About domainnames, I suggest you ask https://cloud.digitalocean.com/support - they are great!

Quarkminer Install for MUE monetaryunit
Scripts to install and run a quarkcpuminer on muepool.com

INSTALL Neisklar quarkminer - works on most linux systems, including raspberryPi

Code:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drakoin/LinuxWallet/master/install-quarkminer-Neisklar.sh
chmod a+x install-quarkminer-Neisklar.sh; ./install-quarkminer-Neisklar.sh

RUN mueminer, comfortably in its own screen (so that you can log off, and later get back to it)

Code:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drakoin/LinuxWallet/master/mueminerstart.sh
chmod a+x mueminerstart.sh; ./mueminerstart.sh

That's it. Easy. Please give me feedback about this. Thanks.
If something doesn't work, please work line by line through the scripts (click on the links above) to find the line which causes an error. Thanks.

Of course, you want to change the POOLUSERNAME= to your own MUE address  

Code:

nano mueminerstart.sh

Ctrl-X Y to save & exit nano


---

Faster?

I found forks of the Neisklar miner, namely by uncle-bob, and palmd. Both are utilizing sse2 which unfortunately isn't supported on RaspberryPi's CPU - but they do work on Cloud-VPS.
When run with cpulimit 50% on the smallest DigitalOcean-droplet ( http://tiny.cc/digocean for 10$ welcome bonus, thanks for clickthrough ... for my manual scroll up) ... I get these approximate results:

Neisklar   21.3   khash/s
uncle-bob   41.6   khash/s
palmd   42.3   khash/s


If you want to try them yourself, I made scripts for you:

INSTALL palmd quarkminer

Code:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drakoin/LinuxWallet/master/install-quarkminer-palmd.sh
chmod a+x install-quarkminer-palmd.sh; ./install-quarkminer-palmd.sh
whereis minerd  # in my case /usr/local/bin/minerd --> that's why:
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/minerd /usr/local/bin/minerd.palmd # make a copy then you can switch between all three forks

INSTALL uncle-bob quarkminer

Code:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drakoin/LinuxWallet/master/install-quarkminer-uncle-bob.sh
chmod a+x install-quarkminer-uncle-bob.sh; ./install-quarkminer-uncle-bob.sh
whereis minerd   # in my case /usr/local/bin/minerd --> that's why:
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/minerd /usr/local/bin/minerd.uncle-bob # make a copy then you can switch between all three forks

EDIT: palmd and uncle-bob actually result in identical binaries:

Code:

diff  /usr/local/bin/minerd.palmd  /usr/local/bin/minerd.uncle-bob -s
# Files /usr/local/bin/minerd.palmd and /usr/local/bin/minerd.uncle-bob are identical

Do you know of any other quarkminers that are worthwhile trying?
Do you have any suggestions what to improve in my scripts?
Do you have a job for me?

It is now https://github.com/MonetaryUnit/MUE-Src
Thanks!

Done :-)

I have updated https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=460178.msg9007912#msg9007912 , and https://github.com/drakoin/LinuxWallet/blob/master/walletInstallMUE.sh so that https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=460178.msg9009832#msg9009832 is up-to-date. Enjoy.

Thank you, your work is really appreciated

CPU mining x13 on linux?

(N.B.: If you read this, and want to try it, but do not have Linux installed, just get a cheap VPS server for 5$/month.)

I was searching for a linux x13 cpu miner and i saw one of your tutorial!

Thanks for asking.

But I am still at a total loss.

It can't be too bad if you got this far ;-)

I installed linux on my laptop

Congrats!

and now I am miner-less.

So I guess you had Windows before, and there you had a miner?
Which miner software did you use before?

Is it possible to mine cpu x13 ubuntu? Can you help?
Please?

Of course.

First of all: yes!

I was asked to write this tutorial here (for CPUmining of MUE which uses not X13 but the Quark-ALGO):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=460178.msg9304572#msg9304572

You can manually work through the steps:
https://github.com/drakoin/LinuxWallet/blob/master/install-quarkminer-Neisklar.sh
there is a lot of comments in that code, that should make it easy to understand.


But:

Which miner code is the fastest for X13 right now, I don't know.
Mining is such an arms race, that there are frequent improvements, and even "quantum leaps"  :-) .
Go and ask around in the forums "which is currently the fastest X13 miner for CPUs?"

Then, instead of  'https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-cpuminer'  in my example,
you take the code of that miner that was pointed out to you to be the currently best one.

Most of them are forked from the same base code, so probably my tutorial will work. If not, consult the README of that miner. (Do that anyways )

Start mining:

Then when your compiling of that code has worked, here is my script to start a miner comfortably
so that it mines to my wallet, as a background process, with nicelevel 19, and 50% CPU usage limit:
https://github.com/drakoin/LinuxWallet/blob/master/mueminerstart.sh


Secondly, about your plan itself: CPU mining for X13 does not make much sense - it's very very slow.

CPUmining makes sense if

• (a) you have thousands of CPUs (i.e. a botnet, if you have your trojan infect thousands of computers - but that is not very moral :-(
  (Actually: If you botnet owner are using my tutorials/scripts, consider to tip me some money *g* see below )
  
  
• (b) if it is a coin with a mining algorithm for which there is no mining software for graphics cards (yet).
  Because a single graphics card contains 200 - 2000 processors (last time I checked). So compared to the GPU miners (who have even 4-6 graphics card per machine, so 800-12000 processors in one PC) ... your tiny little quad-core / octo-core one CPU will have such a small hashrate, so that your pool shares will be ridiculously low. Not worth, electricity wise.
  
  
• (c) If you want to learn the technology itself. Then the efficiency doesn't play a role, of course. Go ahead. It's fun, definitely.
  
  Then you can quite as well try with MUE, which mines not with 'x13' but with the 'quark' algorithm.

Quickstart:

Code:

mkdir miner
cd miner
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drakoin/LinuxWallet/master/install-quarkminer-Neisklar.sh
chmod a+x install-quarkminer-Neisklar.sh; ./install-quarkminer-Neisklar.sh
whereis minerd

See the interface of the miner:

minerd --help
...

  -a, --algo=ALGO       specify the algorithm to use
                          scrypt    scrypt(1024, 1, 1) (default)
                          sha256d   SHA-256d
                          quark     Quarkcoin
...

So this "Neisklar-miner" supports only the ALGOs (scrypt, sha256d, quark).  Find one (in the forums, see above) which also supports x13.


Or -just to learn it- start mining MUE:

Code:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drakoin/LinuxWallet/master/mueminerstart.sh
chmod a+x mueminerstart.sh; ./mueminerstart.sh

of course, you then will want to change the wallet address that the money will end up in ;-)

Code:

nano ./mueminerstart.sh

Change line 10 ("POOLUSERNAME"), then press Ctrl-X Y to save and exit, and start the script again:

Code:

sudo killall minerd
./mueminerstart.sh

You can leave the screen by Ctrl-A D, and log out, or continue with other work.

To check the status, there are several ways:

• ps aux | grep minerd
• screen -r miner
• top

Good?

# COINNAMEd - your wallet in the cloud - new manual
# manual v6.38 = 13/Mar/2015 --> 1/4/2015 COINNAMED

Step 1: buy your cheap virtual server
Using my link you should get 10 dollars welcome bonus.

# your wallet in the cloud - compile and install from github sources
# Create your cheap linux virtual server (VPS) in the cloud in 55seconds
# Buy 5$ droplet e.g. at digital ocean http://tiny.cc/digocean NL USA Singapur UK

Quickstart described above in posting #38; longer manual is linked from there.


Step 2: prepare the server
Described above in posting #31 until this line:
#
# (SERVER IS PREPARED. FROM HERE ON YOU CAN INSTALL OTHER WALLETS)
#

Step 3: compile & configure COINNAMEd

# where to find db4.8 tell your system  (needs to be redone after reboot)
export BDB_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/include"
export BDB_LIB_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.8/lib"


# Wallet sources from github, and build the headless server daemon "COINNAMEd" (takes 7 minutes)

git clone https://github.com/iGotSpots/COINNAME  #clone from github

cd COINNAME/COINNAME/src                        #  change directory to sourcecodefolder
mkdir obj                                         # repair missing folder

make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-   # compile (takes many minutes, contact me if there are errors)

sudo cp COINNAMEd /usr/local/bin           # copy binary to the other binaries
cd ~                                                # change directory to home


# create config file - copy-paste all in one go.
# Make sure to change your password.

mkdir ~/.COINNAME
cat << "CONFIG" >> ~/.COINNAME/COINNAME.conf
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
testnet=0
rpcuser=LOCALUSER
rpcpassword=VERYSECURESUPERLONGSUPERSAFEPASSWORD
CONFIG
chmod 700 ~/.COINNAME/COINNAME.conf          # only this user can see password
chmod 700 ~/.COINNAME                            # only this user can see folder with wallet.dat
ls -la ~/.COINNAME


Step 4: usage of COINNAMEd

# start server
# Should result in "Monetaryunit server starting":
COINNAMEd

# Most important RPC commands:

# see if the blockchain is syncing (right now "blocks" : 69322)
COINNAMEd getinfo
  
# most important RPC commands (try them one by one, no danger)
COINNAMEd getbalance
COINNAMEd getnewaddress forDonations

COINNAMEd listtransactions forDonations
COINNAMEd listreceivedbyaddress 0 true

COINNAMEd listaccounts
COINNAMEd getaddressesbyaccount forDonations
COINNAMEd getaddressesbyaccount ""

# for more RPC commands (explanations in the API calls list)
COINNAMEd help


# if this tutorial was useful, tip me some COINNAME ( OR write on a PostIt(tm): "Tip drakoin some coins" Smiley )
# to my COINNAME address EtyfVMRR7TCbdqCe69K2k9zzBmiHjkMtZq by using this command:
COINNAMEd sendtoaddress EtyfVMRR7TCbdqCe69K2k9zzBmiHjkMtZq 1111 ThanksToDrakoin ThanksForTutorial

# or tip me now in other currencies at www.tiny.cc/drakointip,
# or pass on profitable hints to me (read www.tiny.cc/drakoinhints)


# stop the server:
COINNAMEd stop

# if it is still running:
ps ux | grep COINNAMEd
# ... then kill it the hard way:
killall COINNAMEd

# tip me!
