Topic: Mining Quark on Amazon and Digital ocean - (Read 3401 times)
i used to mine with VPS last month and would get a good amout of quark, i turned them all off because
1 difficulty increase and block reward decrease
2 Insane increase in hashing power, '
you would be lucky to get .5 a day on the lowest vps at digital ocean, and no using more vps's does not increase proportionatly so its not worth it. but like other coins after there explosion, it is much more efficieant to just buy the coins then it is trying mine at the moment.
but if you are not trying to make a profit and just get some quark then it is viable.

I posted this on the Amazon thread: All my opinion
The http://qrk.coinmine.pl/index.php pool was definitely the best one. Use the $100 free from Amazon too, so you can check it out without any expense.
Select a 32 core spot instance. IMPORTANT, make it a spot instance, they cost about 25-30 cents an hour, normal instances cost $2-3.
Use a linux/unix (amazon VPC) instance. cc2.8xlarge is the one you want. Connect with putty as instructed on the amazon website.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install autotools libcurl-dev libjansson-dev make automake unzip (you might have to do them all individually)
sudo wget http://stonefoz.myfastmail.com/cpuminer-quark.zip
sudo unzip cpuminer-quark.zip
cd cpuminer-quark
sudo CFLAGS="-O3 -msse2" ./configure
sudo make
sudo strip minerd
sudo ./minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://qrk.coinmine.pl:6010 -u Username.workername -p workerpassword
Let me know if it works for you. I was getting about 60kh/s per core.
