Topic: cheap cloudservers for mineing CPU coins (or apache, ts3 ...) rentable per hour (Read 780 times)

Thank you for that "tutorial" 

I have tryed this and it's working. Also the coupon code!!

I have currently running an apache webserver for testing wordpress and a teamspeak3 server for me and my friends. its nice and fast


Terminal ubuntu was first a bit strange for me, because i normally only use windows, but its ok after reading your tutorial i was able to setup the miner for monero.

It is still mining and hosting the apache and teamspeak3 server.




Thanks again     

Hey guys,

if you want to mine CPU coins like Monero (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xmr-monero-a-secure-private-untraceable-cryptocurrency-583449) you probably need more CPUs.

I found a nice page where you can rent servers per hour and where you can add multiple servers for getting more cores.


My little guide is for cpuminer-multi because it seems, this miner is getting a bit better shares compared with simpleminer.


If you want to donate me for that, i would be happy. Otherwise just use my referal link, because if you pay in 10$ i will recive some $ for free

And here is the tiny tut:

1.)  sign up useing my referal link (as i mentioned, i am getting some free $s if you sign up via my link): https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=0673101630f5
2.) for being able to use the servers, you must deposit 10$. I suggest useing paypal, because i don't like entering my credit card informations on the internet.
3.) activate this coupon code for receiving 10$ on digitalocean for free!! SSDMAY10
4.) create a droplet with 2CPU and 2 GB of ram (for example Ubuntu 14.04 64bit). You can have up to 5 droplets per account!
5.) per email you will receive the server IP and password.
6.) connect to the server via putty
7.) run the following commands for getting the miner:








After that cpuminer-multi is ready and compiled (if you have any problems here, message me, i will assist you)

If it is ok for you for letting the putty-windows open you don't have to install any other programs. I always have the putty windows open on my second monitor. Otherwise you might want to install screen and run the minerd command with I have my wallets on my windows computer which is running 24h per day, so i don't use screen. If the pool i am mineing is getting any problems, i will simply change it


Now you want to choose a pool, i am useing the monerpool.com:

for starting the miner you must go to the miner folder:

cd cpuminer-multi (if you left the folder before)

Starting command:


the is starting 2 threads. If you, for example, have a quadcore server, then set this to

I hope this was helpfull for some people. It's a nice way for starting/testing cpu mineing.

Also the server could be used for setting up an apache webserver, a teamspeak server etc!


If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
