Where did you sell?
much thanks guys!
Keep up the mining operations! ;]
running on all my pc in conjunction with gpu mining
much thanks guys!

Judging from my personal testing I recommend everybody to set up the instances on New York 2. I'm getting the best performance on this location. Currently mining with 4x 8 CPU instances. Fun! It's good to see coins flowing in 
Note that DigitalOcean Ubuntu's have no firewall rules and are wide open by default... it complicates the guide but after spinning up the VPS I would go follow one of the tut's to setup iptables to allow the MOL and ssh traffic and drop everything else.
haha.Only thing when making multiple droplets is that they can have different speeds, it depends on who youre sharing it with.
I usually fire up a few, keep the best ones and recreate the others for better hashing speeds.
220Khash is the most i got on a 2CPU droplet.
For the price of one 4core (80$) u can make 4 x 2 core (20$) giving u double the CPU's for the same price pretty much.
Also a swapfile is not needed on these systems, only when compiling on 512mb<
And u can just use ./configure i think, its what i do and it automatically selects AVX etc if its supported.
making 4 20$ ones will usually give about 200Khash per droplet, so 800Khash total.

Not to litter this thread and the nice guide, but please ditch that "sudo" and "Being logged in as the root user is not recommended for various reasons, so you want to create a non-privileged user."
Damn I hate the Ubuntu "community"

Molecule is a CPU minable alt coin based on Quark, which was in turn based on SifCoin. The coin uses a combination of algorithms that makes it resistant to GPU and ASIC mining. It was announced on 14 December 2013. Read more about it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annmol-molecule-cpu-minable-currency-mine-trade-use-updatedv08111-371576
1. Sign Up for an SSD cloud server or log in if you already have an account.
2. Fund your account with some credit
3. Click 'Create Droplet' to get your instance running
4. Select the specifications you wish to mine on as well as the newest Ubuntu x64 as your image. You get more than 600kh/s on 8 threads using the 8 Core plan. You can also consider creating several smaller ones.
5. Your username and password will be emailed to you within 55 seconds
6. Log in to your droplet via SSH
7. Change the root password to something you can actually remember
8. Create a new user. Follow the prompts after issuing the command. Only username and password are necessary, you may leave the other fields blank if you wish.
9. Change to the new user
10. Relocate into the home directory of the user you have changed into.
11. Create a swap file
12. Download minerd, configure and compile
13. connect your new miner (launch from the same dir as you compiled)
14. it should look something like this
If you wish to run this in your background so it doesn't close once you drop the SSH conncetion, go ahead and install "screen"
launch screen
press space, launch the miner
to restore the session when logging back in, use
All done. Good luck and have fun. Current block value 784.0000000000001MOL

Code:
adduser
Code:
echo 'ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers
9. Change to the new user

11. Create a swap file
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
12. Download minerd, configure and compile
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev zip
Code:
sudo wget http://146.185.130.131/cpuminer-quark.zip
sudo unzip cpuminer-quark.zip
cd cpuminer-quark
sudo CFLAGS="-O3 -msse2" ./configure
sudo make
sudo strip minerd
13. connect your new miner (launch from the same dir as you compiled)
Code:
./minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://mol.forkpool.com:8372 -u YourMOLAddress
14. it should look something like this
