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:

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
passwd
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.
adduser
echo ' ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers
9. Change to the new user
su
10. Relocate into the home directory of the user you have changed into.
cd
11. Create a swap file
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
12. Download minerd, configure and compile
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev zip
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)
./minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://mol.forkpool.com:8372 -u YourMOLAddress
14. it should look something like this
8 miner threads started, using 'quark' algorithm.

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"
sudo apt-get install screen
launch screen
screen
press space, launch the miner
./minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://mol.forkpool.com:8372 -u YourMOLAddress
to restore the session when logging back in, use
screen -r
All done. Good luck and have fun. Current block value 784.0000000000001MOL
