Thank you for sharing that guide. Following it finally got me up and mining.
no problem man, just trying to live up to my username
it's supposed to run indefinitely, just check if the block height match with this site, then start the miner in another window...
eg:
I0815 18:57:59.536459 26601 chain_manager.go:662] imported 0 block(s) (0 queued 1 ignored) including 0 txs in 3.499575ms. #91572 [9de4e3fb / 9de4e3fb]
Ah I forgot about keeping the system up 24/7. Gotta set up my aws/Google vm again -_-
Thank you for the help!
