(!) Please note that this guide runs your mining droplet as root1. Sign Up for an
SSD cloud server or log in if you already have an account. You may use Digital Ocean, Amazon AWS, Azure or any other VPS cloud hosting provider. The core of this guide works well on all providers, but the guide was written with DO in mind.
2. Fund your account with credit ($15+ recommended).
3. Click 'Create Droplet' to get your instance running.
4. Select the specifications you wish to mine on as well as the latest Ubuntu x64 image. I personally use 8 threads with the 8 Core plan. You can also consider creating several smaller ones, e.g. 4x 2 Core. Or just use one, decide as you wish. The more CPUs the more power you have.
5. Your username and password will be emailed to you within 55 seconds.
6. Log in to your droplet via SSH.
7. Change your root password.
8. Relocate into the home directory.
9. Create a swap file.
