That's 2 months worth of Slimcoin mining on a single CPU digital ocean cloud droplet.
- Create your first droplet as: 512MB / 1 CPU 20GB SSD Disk 1TB Transfer Monthly 5.00 Hourly 0.007
- The Hostname can be whatever you want. The recommended region is New York, as its closest to the mining pool.
- It's very important to Select Image - Ubuntu 12.04.4 x64 as other versions won't work with this guide.
This is an LTS (Long Term Support) release and so its the best available working option.
- Digital Ocean will then email you your cloud servers IP address, username and password. You can then SSH login using PuTTY on windows.
See:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.htmlOnce logged into your cloud droplet:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 libssl-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev git automake libcurl4-openssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/siklon/slimminer
In screen mode hit the Space Bar twice to return to the command prompt.
Now copy and paste this line of text to start cpu mining Slimcoin adding YOUR SLIMCOIN WALLET ADDRESS
./minerd -a dcrypt -o stratum+tcp://63.141.232.170:3333 -u YOURSLIMCOINWALLETADDRESS -p x --scantime 15 --retries -1 -t 1
DONE - (yay !!!) - your now mining Slimcoin's !
You must use (press and hold)
