Nodes are so confusing Please help

Is that what your questions were about in the other thread? I think it's safe to say you have absolutely no ability to make your own alt coin. You should contract with someone to make it for you.

No one wakes up with the ability to make a coin one morning It is a process you decide to go through Even if you already knew how to code before bitcoin came out you still had to learn how to do it and practice

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.

Do it for fun but seriously the network doesn't need it

And if you don't peer correctly, you'll actually download but never contribute

750 hours of micro instances each month

Ah ok, misread it. So one per account per month because 750 hours = 1 month

I would still move to amazon free teir asap.

I set up an aws account and the free tier is only for 750 hours = 31 days. After that it's not free.

Quote from: Amazon

Micro instances are eligible for the AWS free usage tier. For the first 12 months following your AWS sign-up date, you get up to 750 hours of micro instances each month. When your free usage tier expires or if your usage exceeds the free tier restrictions, you pay standard, pay-as-you-go service rates

Isn't vps guaranteed cpu? Or was that bullshit

Right. It talks on port 8333 which is the Bitcoin port, uses a lot of CPU, they probably see a lot of litecoin mining abuse at the moment. I have had to advise the Google Compute Engine guys on how to handle this because they were seeing lots of CPU mining. I hope the fall in value of LTC stops people doing that, it just craps in a shared resource we all want and use (VPS platforms).

You didn't listen to the guy that said to execute setgenerate=1 did you? Still, amazon gives you ssh key and they have ZERO access
Use the Amazon free tier

Could you elaborate on that execute setgenerate=1?

I have spoken to their support people and told them that it's a node not a miner, and they have allowed me to keep it. The CPU is pretty high while doing the initial blockchain sync.

that's good to know that with you being transparent they accepted you.

Someone wrote that as a joke. If you do that, it will cpu mine which is very bad. I would still move to amazon free teir asap. Do not give them your business if they look at your private server.

someone please step by step for amazon tier (idk what that is...) please go through all steps pretend u have to explain how to do this to your grandparents.
ALSO can i be multiple nodes for say primecoin ANC and so on.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

How do you get blockchain.info to accept your node? Or is it automatic?

It is automatic, you could try adding blockchain.info:8333 to your conf file, so you connect to them, then that would be a better chance of being a peer to them.

I just created another full node with http://lowendbox.com/

Seems cheaper and better than digital ocean, but I'll keep the digital ocean one for now.

Just received this email from these guys, seems they don't understand what a miner is. I've asked them to close my account and refund my money.

This is a reminder that we do not allow applications that cause CPU abuse to be ran on our servers. Please keep in mind that you are sharing your CPU resources and we operate a fair share policy with our VPS environment.

We do not allow CPU miners like bitcoin, and this was found running on your VPS. As such, your VPS has been stopped accordingly. Please start it back up only when you are able to ensure that the CPU miner service will not run again.

we appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

Thanks
