OP:: unless your power and/or internet is unreliable, buy one of these:

Dedicated hardware will always trump your shared specs from a vpn and if done properly will be infinity more secure then leaving your coins on someone elses server.

Thanks for your advice, mate. I own 2 SBC myself which are the Raspberry Pi 2 and 3, but still I would love to have an extra SBC to use as a full node for other cryptocurrency. Staking on these would be more secure, but I'd only prefer to stake 24/7 on a VPS due to internet unreliability.

In the meantime, I will encrypt my wallet from within the VPS for extra security and stake some coins myself. As it will be running 24/7, I think that I will have better chances of receiving stakes.

The ODROID-C2 single board computer looks pretty interesting too. It can be a great addition to my setup of nodes for cryptocurrencies.

Oh man if you've already got pi's, you'll creame your pants over the c2. If you spring for the eMMC (which is very much worth the money) you will be blown away by the speed difference. I've put 6 daemons on mine and it could still run more (obviously, mileage may vary based on coins, but you get the idea)

Only real issue I've had is most coin's need to have leveldb modified in order to cook on the arm64 os's, but thats a pretty easy edit.

VPS offers are quite expensive, at least the ones I saw. I don't feel like staking alone will be enough to cover those expenses.

You could always use the VPS for other things, such as node hosting. With proper resource management, you could even stake two or more different currencies in the background simultaneously as well Tongue

Correct. It may be expensive if you're only going to run 1 wallet but if the VPS is cheap you might find that you're still in profit via staking since you won't be able to run your laptop or computer 24/7.

I would like to know if it is possible to stake a PoS coin like Diamond or Hyperstake 24/7 from within the VPS. All I know is how to setup the same on it, but I don't how to make it run 24/7 as the more the wallet is open, the more chances of receiving stakes I will get. Any advice, tips or tricks would be helpful to me. I would greatly appreciate any help with this.

you do not do nothing, just open your wallet and close VPS. It will be work 24/7
But first calculate, will it profit for you

Exactly VPS runs 24/7 just start it and it will run. Better do backups though then have a copy of the wallet.dat just in case something happens with your VPS.

I'm using Time4VPS for staking 24/7 using CBX and they're getting the job done so I'm happy using their services and it only costs me ~2 euros/month.

well, i would go with aws or azure, they both have free services for a year and after that you only pay for what you use. good prices and good servers.

Actually, I was into this especially the Azure platform and for the free trial and the prices I say that they are pretty good. AWS asks me for a credit card before using the free trial, but I will stick with Azure for a year. Still, I am looking into several VPS services like CryptoGods and DigitalOcean to stake multiple coins. I've had a very bad experience with so called "Cloud Staking" services like Stakeminers and Staisybit that I have decided to stake them on my own via the cloud using the VPS.

I think aws need atm before you get a free service.. but it can help for trial purpose and they are giving high specs for your vps..
But i think its better to start cpu mining using vps or try gpu if the specs is high..

This may interest you i have used these guys for plenty of projects. Rock solid stability. Budget brand of OVH who are one of the biggest server farm owners around

VPS SSD 1

OpenStack KVM
1 vCore
2.4 GHz
2 GB RAM
10 GB SSD
Local Raid 10

$3.49/month

If you looking to stake a few coins maybe look at one of their Dedicated servers. They start at $6 a month. But you have to check their site regularly as those are often out of stock.

Want to stake many many coins at once try something like this

KS-2B Atom™ N2800 640 2c / 4t 1.86 GHz+ 4 GB 40 GB SSD 100 Mbps /128 $11.00

Also available for the same price with a 1TB drive instead of the SSD

Heck you can even run them with a GUI option if your not comfortable with CLI. They have enough power

In windows , Use Task manger and check the Coin Process to see how much memory it uses,
Linux should have something similar.
If the coin Process is using ~500Meg, then you be able to run it along with the Linux OS with 1GB total.
Personally Would get 2Gig or more if you want to run multiple wallets at the same time.
Just add up the memory their process is using and how many you want to run simultaneously, include ~500meg for the OS.

Cool

FYI:
Coins like ZEIT , Mint , & HBN use over 1 gig by themselves with nothing else running.

Thanks mate. I usually do this on Windows, but I am quite not very familiar with Linux as I cannot find a Task Manager for it. Still, I could be based on the results I get on the Windows OS to run the wallet in Linux. In the meantime, I will only run a single wallet for testing but then I will decide to upgrade my VPS plan to get more RAM and stake at least 2 coins at the same time. I think that staking OKcoins or Coin Magi will be perfectly fine to start with.

If your looking at a Linux task manager try "top"

If your using something Debian based try "sudo apt-get htop" and use htop instead for a better looking interface

Thanks for sharing this mate. I have found it very useful for me to begin with my little experiment on the VPS. Also, the VPS hosting that you have mentioned me earlier looks pretty interesting so I think I will give it a try with this one. I have tested htop from within a virtual machine and it looks pretty useful. I\Now I will install it once I get the VPS up and running. By the way, I don't know if above VPS accepts Bitcoins, but it would be pretty cool for a VPS to accept it like CryptoGods. Cheesy

you should consider:

- a linux VPS costs 5 dollars / month, staking you will earn some cents only and you provide a node to the coin
- staking is intensive process, you need VPS with some more ram
- VPS is by definition a virtual server operative 24/7, the problem is that if you are staking more coins and use all the memory you might get limited use or blocked

Thanks for the tips. I was wondering if 1 GB of RAM for the VPS to stake at least 1 coin would be sufficient, because I would prefer to stay within the most cheapest plan available until then I could upgrade to a better plan. If so, then I think that the $5 a month VPS would be sufficient for me. This would make it pretty convenient to stake coins from within the "cloud" (sort of) without depending on a third party cloud staking service like Stakeminers. Cheesy

All I know is how to setup the same on it

The what?

If you know how to setup a VPS, you should be smart enough to figure out how to install a wallet on one...

Sounds like you need a step by step guide from the very beginning? Do you even have an account with a VPS host?

Sure. I already know how to setup the VPS. The VPS host I use is called DigitalOcean VPS. I only wanted to know if VPS services allow you to run them 24/7. If so, I would leave the wallet staking 24/7 on it. It would be really great and serve as my own cloud staking service rather than depending on a third party like Stakeminers.com

Yes no problem to run them 24/7 that is why vps are there Wink

Have been running blackbird arbitrage on diffe[Suspicious link removed]' without any problem with the hosting company's.
