[A guide for VPS mining]

Setting Amazon AWS up is not that much different from VPS. Here is a reference; notice this is for GPU spot instance (http://aloysius.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/is-mining-litecoins-on-aws-ec2-profitable-part-2-gpu-mining/)

A conversation about setting up wallet & cpuminer:

1) Sign up for an account.
If you like, use my referral link, and support this project too.

Quote

https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=0881d086fee6

Input a name for the vps, Select Size (all types work), Select image: Debian 7.0 x64; all others default, then click Create Droplet.

2) You will receive an email about login info, typically

Code:

ssh root@IP

to login the system

3) Once you login, copy and paste following commands (magi is username, use any else you like)

Code:

adduser magi

follow instructions

Code:

/usr/sbin/visudo

to edit the section:

Quote

## User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
magi ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

3) exit and ssh again with

Code:

ssh magi@IP

4) Upgrade and install packages:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev libminiupnpc-dev git
sudo apt-get install gfortran 
sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev

5) this is needed if you choose the minimum size during VPS creation

Code:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

6) run magi wallet

Code:

cd
git clone https://github.com/magi-project/magi
cd magi/src
make -f makefile.unix

Create a conf file which should be in the folder: ~/.magi (magi is the user we created)

Code:

cd ~/.magi
emacs magi.conf

emacs is text edit tool, use any you like. save the following content:

Quote

daemon=1
server=1
rpcport=18232
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=rpcuser
rpcpassword=rpcpass

Code:

cd ~/magi/src
./magi &

The last command runs the daemon.

7) compile cpuminer

Code:

cd
git clone https://github.com/magi-project/magi-minerd
./autogen.sh
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -mtune=native" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native -mtune=native" ./configure
make

Edit magi-minerd.sh in case you need to change something, and "--threads 1" to change the number of threads

Code:

./magi-minerd.sh

to run the miner.

If I set up a Digital Ocean VPS using these settings and run the miner will it start mining when the timer hits 0? Also what should I do in regards to the threads? I am planing on renting a 12 core server for as long as I can afford.
