The current version of cpuminer-multi seems to work fine with current moneropool.com since today. Running for few hours and still getting valid shares. The share diff oscillates between 9000 and 10000.
I will keep monitoring it.

Money comes, money goes
any stats on how profitable different CPUs are?

Ok generally speaking you can mine right now with the guide. Remember to compile new miner. It has been updated yesterday.

There are bugs. After some time you may not find valid shares. Try to close it and run it again or change pool.


Edit: The bug is on the pool side. Devs  decided to implement stratum to fix the problem.

Some of my VMs keep working fine. On some i get the same as you. I dont know but i think it is something with the pools. I am mining on moneropool.com right now because on other pools after some time my hash was going to zero.

Actually its a bug with longpooling it seems... But for now i dont know any fix...


Oh btw did  you compiled the new cpuminer-multi? it had some changes from yesterday.

Yes, compiled fresh version this evening. The long-polling bugfix commit included.

With moneropool.org it is acting really weird. Most of the time I get something like 95% rejects:

Same issue with extremepool.org.

With moneropool.com it seems to work fine. Maybe pool software incompatibility? Or latency issue (I am in Europe)?

Edit: moneropool.com suffers of another problem - incorrect diff retargeting

it seems that there's some problem with this miner, after accept some shares , then it chould find nothing with a really low hasreate, do you have the same problem


Actually i got a share after a while. So it seems that this works. For me the problem is the cant call rpc command error...

THIS IS A VERY OLD GUIDE. DONT USE IT.

Diff has skyrocketed but fortunately pools have been developed! Pools still are not fully tested and sometimes payout must be sent manually. There are not stats for miners except their hash/s

Pools are seem to work just fine and now with stratum!


If you make a new Digital ocean account try those codes for 10$ bonus.If those doesnt work try to google for DO codes:
DODEPLOY
ALLSSD10
lasmay

You can try the same guide not only for Digital Ocean but also for any linux pc (Ubuntu 14.04 has been tested).

I will update for better miners when and if they come out. This guide uses cpuminer-multi instead of simpleminer

1) Please use my referral https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=9d68ca19e204 and create a droplet 2CPU 2GB Ram Ubuntu 14.04 64x .It must be 1GB or more. You can create up to 5 droplets. You may choose more CPUs per VM if you want of course. You just have to change the number of threads. User password and IP will be sent immediately to your email.
2) Connect with putty using using ip and password or just write those in the console that exists on DO webpage. 1 putty per droplet! You can always download putty from here http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html  Putty is better cause you can copy paste everything. For linux just ssh...:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install git make automake screen libcurl4-openssl-dev

git clone https://github.com/Lucasjones/cpuminer-multi

cd cpuminer-multi

./autogen.sh

./configure CFLAGS="-O3"

make

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now cpuminer-multi has been compiled and you just have to run it. I run it with screen so that you can close putty/ssh connection and mining can keep up:

Choose a pool. For example http://moneropool.org/ . All you need to type in order to start mining is:

screen -S minerd ./minerd -a cryptonight --url=moneropool.com:5555 --user=yourmoneroaddress --pass=x -t 2


moneropool.com:5555 is the url of the pool you want to mine
yourmoneroaddress is your wallet address.
2 is the numbers of threads you want to run. 2 for 2cpu in that case.

Once it starts press Ctrl A and then D so that you can detach from screen. Now you can safely close putty or console and mining will continue. When you want to check again a simple   screen -r will open the mining screen.

Please correct me if you find any  errors or if you have any other info and please comment here for any questions! This way others can also find solution for the same problem. In case you send a PM i will answer here!
