Sorry if this is a little messy, but here it has it's own thread so it doesn't get lost in the Riecoin thread!
Block rewards start soon, so get set up!!!

Start a droplet with AT LEAST 2GB ram, needed for compiling, with Debian 7.0 (This can be resized later, but you get charged full rate at all times your droplets are in existence.)
Connect to your droplet through Putty or any other SSH client, now you want to prepare the server for mining...
Please note, most commands here can simply be copied and pasted by simply right clicking in the Putty window and pressing enter, make sure to enter your own username where relevant though, and other details. It's safest to only do one line at a time unless you're sure what you're doing.
Use Putty to create a new user and add to the sudoers group, as below.
