Topic: How to mine Dogecoin using Digitalocean Cloud VPS - page 3. (Read 31262 times)

it looks you have 2 running in background ... keep only one

use "screen -X -S {session # you want to kill} kill"

ok, I type screen -r


and...appear:


here are several suitable screens on:
   12404.pts-0.doge3   (12/19/2013 10:21:39 AM)   (Detached)
   12287.pts-0.doge3   (12/19/2013 10:05:08 AM)   (Detached)
Type "screen [-d] -r [pid.]tty.host" to resume one of them.

...now??

to see status type "screen -r"   

Thank you!!! very very good tutorial....but i have a question: i close my terminal, and then i re-open it, How can i see the status of hashing?

Thank you!!!! I promise you to give you 1% of my doge, of this month:)

yes, but use the "screen" command before running "minerd"

when logging back again use command "screen -r" to restore your session

If I close browse or putty, droplet will continue running ?

of course, with the second version you can mine sha256 and scrypt coins as well!

Can this be used for other cryptos?  Very nice tutorial!

updated with "screen" commands

dogecoin is now listed on cryptsy. join the mining.

you will make around 2,500 coins daily with 5 instances. the value of dogecoin is rising, small risk while keeping your pc turned off.

i see 10,000 coins are now sold for $8-$10-->> so you already have $5 profit after just 4 days of mining

when you're mining with your home computer you're consuming a lot of electricity... on vps electricity is zero.

if $5 is a big investment then better not start at all...

yes, you can mine with both from pools. better choose version 2 - works with any pool type. make sure you also choose server usa2- has better speeds

mining scrypt with CPU cloud host is totally useless..  you will make around 80 doggies per hour on a pool, how you want to get back the $5 monthly investment with such a low reward?

mining cpu coins with that is much more profitable..

go to server usa 2 and you will get 6 khash/s.

create 5 instances in total you will reach around 35 khash totally

now join a pool. you will get around 2,500 coins daily, this method is currently used by myself

sorry I'm new to this. what's the difference between ver. 1 and ver. 2?

can I mine from pools?

Digital Ocean is a great hosting solution, really. I like it for their quick setup, SSD and low prices.

But mining on 5$ DO VPS will give you about 2kh/s per core. And it's such difficult already to mine doges.

Better join a pool.

And for those who found my small advice valuable and saved some money:

in order to keep your sessions alive, use the command "screen" before running "./minerd"
