is upstart less messy than screen ? heh
so only AWS or go buy RAM ? coin for the rich..

Quote from: ?? on ??

Very nice guide. Attracting more miners is good for the coin.

Although screen is fine, for those who don't want to mess with it, minerd can be run as a service through ubuntu's upstart.

Code:

[...]

ADDR=`cat /home/ubuntu/ADDRESS`
THREADS=`cat /home/ubuntu/NUM_THREADS`

cat > ramhogminer.conf << EOF
description "ramhog miner"

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

nice 5

respawn
respawn limit 3 10

exec /home/ubuntu/shinyminer/minerd -a ramhog -o stratum+tcp://106.3.225.46:6666 -u $ADDR -p x -t $THREADS --syslog
EOF

sudo mv ramhogminer.conf /etc/init/

sudo service ramhogminer start

To check minerd output:

Code:

tail -f /var/log/syslog

Control the ramhogminer service with the following:

Code:

sudo service ramhogminer start
sudo service ramhogminer stop
sudo service ramhogminer status
sudo service ramhogminer restart

This coin will never make it to an exchange if the dev does not figure out how to run the wallet on 4 or even 2gb machines.

True. A comment from the dev on this issue would be nice.

Common tactic these days to keep the diff low?

Is there no any further support from dev?

Since this coin is awesome, and it seems the best way to mine this coin is to just rent Amazon instances, I made a complete noob's guide on how to pool-mine this coin. It looks like a lot, but it isn't really so bad.

Laxori's Complete Noob Guide on How to Pool-Mine ShinyCoin using Amazon EC2:

Log into Amazon AWS. Create an account if necessary.
Go to the EC2 page.
Click on "Launch Instance".
- Select 64-bit Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM)
- Choose r3.2xlarge instance, as it is the most cost-efficient.
- Click Next: Configure Instance Details
- Check Request Spot Instances. Enter the price per hour you are willing to pay (e.g. 0.10 for 10 cents/hour). Make sure to enter something higher than the current price so that it actually turns on.
- Check the Persistent request checkbox.
- Click Review and Launch.
- If it asks you whether to Boot from General Purpose (SSD), select yes (though I'm not sure it matters).
- Click Launch.
- At the Select an existing key pair or create a new key pair, if you have a key pair then select it and check the box, otherwise create a new key pair, download it, and don't lost that file. You will need it to access your instance.
- Click Request Spot Instance
- Go back to the EC2 page
Now you have to wait until your spot request is fulfilled. This can take a few minutes. You can click on the Spot Requests tab to see its status. When it's ready it'll say "fulfilled".
Once it is fulfilled, click on Instances to get its IP address.
Connect to the spot instance.
- On Mac/Linux:
  - Open a terminal.
  - Go to the directory you saved your key-file to (Step 3h).
  - Connect:
    ssh -i KEY_FILE_NAME.pem ubuntu@IP
  - Type yes, you are sure you want to continue connecting.
- On Windows, it is a bit more involved. See Amazon's guide for the full instructions.
Generate an address to send your mined coins to.
- If you trust shinychain.org:
  - Go to shinychain.org wallet.
  - Click Generate Seed. Do not forget this seed! You will need it to access your coins.
  - Paste the seed into the text field and click Open Wallet.
  - Pick any one of the Receiving addresses.
- If you already have a running qt wallet:
  - Open the debug console.
  - Type getnewaddress. Use this address.
  - To be extra-sure you will be able to access your coins (replace with the address you just got):
    dumpprivkey STGsZtHw4DRUby8aYCKjiGReFt3JU94YnT
    Store the private key somewhere safe. You need it to spend your coins; the wallet keeps track of it usually.
- If you already have a running daemon: Follow same steps as for the qt wallet, but from the command line.
- If you don't have any running wallet or daemon, I've made a script that downloads all necessary packages, compiles from the official github repository, and runs the above steps.
  - First, verify that the script is not nefarious: http://tinyurl.com/shiny-genkeypair . This URL will always point to this version of the script.
  - On the instance, run:
    bash <(curl -sL http://tinyurl.com/shiny-genkeypair)
  - Wait until the script finishes running.
  - Use the output address and store the private key somewhere safe.
Store the address in a file (replace the address with your own):
echo -n STGsZtHw4DRUby8aYCKjiGReFt3JU94YnT > /home/ubuntu/ADDRESS
Store the number of ramhog threads in a file (3 for 2xlarge, 7 for 4xlarge, 15 for 8xlarge):
echo -n 3 > /home/ubuntu/NUM_THREADS
Run the following script to get the miner from git, compile it, run it, and also to run it on start-up. Again, check the script yourself first to make sure there is nothing nefarious there.
bash <(curl -sL http://tinyurl.com/shiny-setupminer)
You are now mining in sandor's pool! The miner will turn on whenever the instance reboots.
To check on the output of the miner:
screen -r miner
To check on your shares: go to the workers page and enter your address.

If You Want to Run Multiple Instances:

Create an image from the instance you just created:
- From the EC2 page, click on Instances.
- Right-click on the spot instance and select Create Image. Name it whatever you like.
- Click Create Image.
- Wait until the Image is created. You can check on the status by clicking AMIs from the EC2 menu.
Once the image is finished, create the spot request(s):
- Right-click the image from the AMIs menu and select Spot Request.
- Select the same instance type as before (e.g. r3.2xlarge).
- Click Next: Configure Instance Details.
- Enter the number of spot instances you want to launch, and the price.
- Check Persistent Request.
- Click Review and Launch.
- Click Launch.
- Select the key pair and click Request Spot Instances.
That's it! They will boot when ready and start mining right away.

Feedback and donations are both very welcome. Happy mining!

Vardiff is added, enjoy.

No thanks.

it's waste time and money to mine on pool, its does not find any block for couple hours. Better solo at this time.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but a pool reduces the variance you get when solo mining, so it's opposite of what you are saying.

I'm sure it is written here somewhere but I'm completely missing it.
How many coins are there going to be?

Nothing wrong with the pool. I just set the difficulty high enough so it submits a share every 10000 hashes.
If you haven't submitted a share in hours then your stats are inactive, so start mining and it will show again.

I'm with you as long as you say you know what you are doing.

On a second thought, the more you increase the difficulty at the pool level, doesn't it become less fair? For example, let's suppose that with standard pool difficulty, a miner could have submitted 4 shares max per hour (case A). By doubling the pool difficulty, the miner could submit 2 shares max (case B). In the A case, I think it is statistically easier for the miner to finally end up with a submitted share. Maybe I am missing something here, but it definitely seems like that.

In the long run it's the same, just less shares submitted and more variance.

@sandor111 how can i see my stat on your pool after i stopped mining?
