Hmm... Yes. I did with default settings: NY2, Ubuntu 12.04.3 x64 and "16GB / 8 CPUs 160GB SSD Disk 6TB Transfer".

Destroy it and create another one, see how it performs. I have several ones (both 4 CPU and 8 CPU) and I noticed that some perform better than others, so I use to destroy the bad ones and create new ones instead which I keep.

By the way, after creating the first cpuminer droplet I made an image of it, so whenever I want to launch another cpuminer droplet I just select the image to create a new one and can start to mining right away without having to set it up. Like this, it's easy to set up a new mining instance for any CPU coin in an instant. To create the image you have to temporarily shut down the server.

My best performing one at the moment:

Hmm... with 8 core plan, I am only getting ~400kh/s.

What's up with that?

Hi there Meebo, you might want to estroy that particular droplet and create another one. On which location are you, New York 2? NY2 works best for me.

In my experience not all droplets are the same, sometimes there can be one that performs less well. You should average about ~ 650 kh/s on the 8 Core.

I made a second user. If that is the issue, how can I remedy it?

You're right, it seems like your sudoers file is indeed broken.

Please scrub your droplet, start from scratch and try it again exactly like this.

Code:

adduser anticlimax

Code:

echo 'anticlimax    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers

Code:

su anticlimax

Cheers! If it still doesn't work just post and I'll be glad to help.

When I enter the code to create the swap file..

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

I get the following:

Thanks Bro... still not showing as active but will wait and see what happens.

Thanks for your guide and patience. My worker still shows inactive yet I have been mining several minutes!

No problem at all, glad to help! Are you using correct worker login and password details in your client? for example

Code:

./minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://prt.coinmine.pl:6080 [b]-u cheekychappy.worker1 -p password1[/b]

Also, do you see credit coming up under "Transactions"?

I entered the correct info:

./minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://prt.coinmine.pl:6080 -u mylogin.myworker -p myworkerlogin

nothing in transactions either

Ok I am mining, I see the threads in the droplet... thank you so much.

The strange thing is the worker is still not active... by now it should be active but still has the 'x' next to it showing inactive.

Sounds good mate -- the worker should be showing activity shortly

Happy mining!

Good that you're mentioning it! Apparently the link that hosts the file cpuminer-quark.zip is down. It hasn't been earlier today.

Please wait a second, I'll post a working link and update the guide

edit: here you go, this will fix the issue. Wink

@1BTCexperiment, what's your issue? this is a guide and it refers to DO, why you don't want me to add a ref to the guide is beyond me

@CheekyChappy, guide works perfectly fine, if you get errors you did something wrong (all you have to do is copy and paste my steps, actually...). If you are looking for help, where are you stuck?

@bittick, keep up the mining operations bro Wink
