[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[GingerAle]

Has Monera a asset exchange or crowdfunding platform like some other crypto coins have were I can invest in Monera related projects?

You can donate to core development directly.

The core devs are working on something in the getmonero.org forums along this line, where you can directly fund specific projects.

As it exists now, the getmonero.org forums have an area where people can post projects they are working on and ask for funding.

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of a (up to date) walkthrough for setting up Monero mining, through a VPS?  I have two VMs (google and amazon) running Ubuntu, if that helps. I just can't find any guides that still work 100%....

I appreciate any help - thanks in advance..

(i've set up miners for other coins before, I'm just not that familiar with XMR yet)

It is in development as a feature of the Monero forum: http://forum.getmonero.org

I just let all my Twitter followers know that I now support Monero!

Here are the commands to get Wolf0's CPU miner going in Ubuntu 14.X:

Code:

sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install screen;sudo apt-get install git;sudo apt-get install build-essential;sudo apt-get install pkg-config;sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev;sudo apt-get install automake

wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.34.0.tar.gz;tar -xvf curl-7.34.0.tar.gz;cd curl-7.34.0/;./configure --disable-shared --enable-static;make -j 4;sudo make install;cd ..

git clone https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi;cd cpuminer-multi;./autogen.sh;./configure;make -j 4

The above will get the miner software installed.

Then set hugepages to 3X the number of cores, so 24 in a case of a CPU with 8 cores mining.

Code:

sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=24;

SCREEN for allowing you to disconnect, yet leave the miner hashing:

Code:

screen -t m1n3r 

Finally, the command-line to start mining, where <your Monero addy> is yours and X = # of cores.

Code:

sudo ./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://[Monero_Mining_Pool_of_Choice] -u <your Monero addy> -p x -t X

Then CTRL+A and then press 'D' to disconnect from that session, leaving the mining active.

Thank you so much!  I'll try this out now, and let you know how it goes

Again, appreciate the help!

sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=24;

Bear in mind this setting won't "stick" across reboots. You'll have to redo it after every reboot or edit your config files (depends on distro but often something like /etc/sysctl.conf)

I'm at the last step, but getting a ./minerd: command not found

I'm in the same directory though, and I (thought) it was set up and ready to go...I mean I've used the same program, in the same VM before...

Any ideas?  Thanks in advance...

[g4q34g4qg47ww]

Smooth, you've received a solid commendation from Anonymint  

Smooth is the most astute programmer in altcoins that I have had discussions with.

It seems to me that Monero has the best team of any altcoin.

Impressive!

In all probability there was an error and it didn't finish compiling the miner. Do make again and take note of any errors.

EDIT: Or you are not inside cpuminer-multi/ directory...

Thanks for the response -

I'm receiving this error:

Code:

Makefile.am:12: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')

Any ideas what's causing this?  Or anything I can do to solve it?  I'm not too familiar with the purpose of FLAGS

did you try running it anyway?

i think i've encountered that error and it still runs.

then again, ima noobish. I wear noobilific jibbers on me jammer jobbers

Is this coin still CPU mineable?
And if it is, how do I go about it?
Many thanks

yes it is.

hey guys, short question:

what's the recommended minimum number of confirmations a site should use before crediting deposits? I know that poloniex takes ~16(?) confirmations, but that always feels like a little bit too much.

Cool site.

I would think that 8 confirmations would be sufficient. But, maybe someone else will tell us why that number is too low.

Its not low, I would go with a max of 10, thats the time of 1 btc confirmation (actually should be a lot less)

With all the ideas for a simple node server for cheap why not build one that gives a few extra mining options but keeps price low for those just wanting a node, wallet and simple miner.

AMD ATHLON MINI PC
Node, Wallet, Miner (with mining expansion options) Base unit $190

Since the new release will have the built in miner feature you can take advantage of 2 of the Athlons 4 cores assuming the 8.8.7 release supports this.  Mine with 2 cores and run the system with the other 2 cores.  This way someone could build a small PC that could run the wallet, node and miner all in one with extra mining options.  I priced out some parts and this build would be most useful to Windows folks that aren’t as tech savvy but want to support the network and get involved.
 
Add a nice GPU to the available PCI Express slot on the motherboard and get a little more mining power with a 3rd party GPU miner installed. With 430w of power I doubt this motherboard with RAM and SSD will pull more than 100w leaving 330w open for a nice GPU.  You could up the power supply rating if you wanted to run a very high end GPU.

-MSI AM1I AM1 2 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard ($30)
-MD Sempron 3850 Kabini Quad-Core 1.3GHz Socket AM1 25W ($30)
-Thermaltake TR2 W0070 430W ATX12V v2.3 Power Supply ($45)
-Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 ($35)
-Corsair Force CSSD-F120GB2B/RF2 2.5" 120GB SSD ($50)
All priced through New Egg

OPTION MINING ADD ON
-Any Nvidia or AMD GPU card.
   
Anyway I don’t claim to be an expert and assuming the new DB reduces the RAM usage in Windows environment this might be a nice option for someone starting out and getting to know Monero.  I might just have to build one of these and try it out once the new release is out and stable.
