Digital Ocean Monero Pool Mining Guide! CPU only! [MRO] Cryptonight Algo!

[forevernoob]

Pools are working fine and now with stratum too.

Added some codes for digital ocean bonus.

I will add more pools soon...

Stratum gives performance boost according to the pool I use. Maybe you should edit the OP and change the command line?

Yes i will do! I dont have much spare time! I will do it today or tomorrow for sure!

Any comment on this email from DO support? I've never used a VPS for mining before so I don't know how accurate their statement is:

"Please understand that due to the nature of cloud computing, mining even CPU currencies is rather inefficient- simply due to how virtualization makes use of the CPU cycles."

Just how inefficient is it, and what is the purpose of using DO for CPU mining? Is it to just have more computing power over what you can get at home? How does it compare to just mining on Windows at home?

Anyone get this to work on a Azure instance of Ubuntu? I can do it fine on Digital Ocean but get "Illegal instruction (core dumped)" with my Azure instance.

Nevermind - I got it to work with this sequence.

[guitarplinker]

Sorry for bumping an older thread, but thanks for the tutorial! I have it up and running with a DigitalOcean droplet.

[forevernoob]

There is a ton of new CPU miners out for cryptonight now. Do you recommend switching from lucasjones?
I have a CPU from 2011.

[GreekBitcoin]

No i am sorry. I reccomend wolfs CPU miner right now. I MUST update everything but i dont have time...but i must...I will do it asap...

[ibuyltc]

Im using this with microsoft azure. Works flawlessly.  Thanks!

I'll tip you later since im off to work

[Brewins]

Heres a one liner if anyone wants to make a droplet MRO ready in seconds

Does not give any error message. Connection begins with pool and frozen at this

[GreekBitcoin]

I have a feeling its because you try to merge mine with FCN and i thing it isnt supported by the miner...

Try this duck.pool.minergate.com:5562 and see if it works

wait a min, after  you input sudo command your VPS process it?
or try to see your folder ar they have cpumining folder or not
type ls on your root directory and see whether they are cpumining folder 

[cyber-machine]

After input sudo command and all commands VPS process go. also with Lucasjones cpuminer (git clone https://github.com/Lucasjones/cpuminer-multi) mining work, but speed very not stable. Others pool startum with this command working perfect, problems only with minergate pool.

OK. wait

[GreekBitcoin]

This should work.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git make automake screen libcurl4-openssl-dev

git clone https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi
(This is wolfs miner which is more efficient than Lucas one)

cd cpuminer-multi

./autogen.sh

 CFLAGS="-march=native" ./configure --disable-aes-ni
(Notice the --disable-aes-ni is required if your CPU doesnt support AES-NI. If it does just delete it.)

make

screen -S miner ./minerd -a cryptonight -o pooladdress -u moneroaddress -p x -t X(number of cores)
(I assume you know how screen works)


Also, have in mind that this is for Ubuntu. I have tried it in Debian and i had problems with gcc i think. Ultimately i fixed it but i dont remember right now. Anyway if you get an error ask away...
