I have pushed an update to the pool miner that fixes a bug where the miner sometimes doesn't pick up a new block. This results in you submitting stale shares. Please grab this update and rebuild your miners. NOTE I have also renamed the binary to nexus_cpuminer, so update any batch files / bash scripts that you use

I have updated the Google Mining Guide with the new script as well.
How to Setup Google Cloud Mining
- Bunnywinkles
This guide assumes you have a Google Cloud account. I will refer to the Google Menu button as the hamburger.
Setup an Instance Template
1. Click the hamburger and navigate to "Compute Engine"
2. Click on "Instance Templates"
3. Click "Create Instance Template"
4. Name your instance. No spaces, lower case only.
5. For a trial account I reccomend the "n1-highcpu-8", for full accounts use "n1-highcpu-2".
6. Under "Boot Disk" click "Change"
7. Select "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS", change "Boot Disk Type" to "Standard persistance disk"
8. Click "Management, disk, networking, SSH keys" to open additional options
9. Past the following into the startup script:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y git libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev make build-essential libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev
git clone https://github.com/Nexusoft/PrimePoolMiner
cd PrimePoolMiner && mkdir build
make -j8 -f makefile.unix
echo '#!/bin/bash
./nexus_cpuminer nexusminingpool.com 9549 [YOURADDYHERE]' > mine.sh && chmod +x mine.sh
screen -dmS thescreen ./mine.sh
10. Replace [YOURADDYHERE] with your address (Remove the barckets as well)
11. Turn "Preemptibility" On
12. Click "Create"
Setup a Health Check
1. Click "Health checks"
2. Click "Create Health Check"
3. Name your health check. No spaces, lower case only.
4. Change "Check interval" to 10 seconds
5. Change "Unhealthy threshold" to 5 consecutive failures
6. Click "Save"
Setup an Instance Group
1. Click "Instance Groups"
2. Click "Create Instance Group"
3. Name your instance group. No spaces, lower case only.
4. Select a zone. Trial accounts are limited to 8 vCPUs per region (us-central, etc). You should create a group for each region to maximize profits
5. Full accounts can modify the "Number of Instances" so they can fill their quota
6. In the "Instance Template" dropdown select your template you created
7. In the "Health Check" select your health check
8. Click "Create"
