Hi, very informative!!!

Just one question, can this be done to mine other alt coins, for example, TIX?

Thanks?

Pool updated

Available PRT Pools:

• http://www2.coinmine.pl/prt/index.php
• http://prt.mine-pool.net/

Did you create your own user?
after creating a user add it to sudoers group by typing this:

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

Replace only bit with your new created username. then follow the manual again.
It's impossible to get it wrong.
just copy paste

First time doing this and Im terrible with Ubuntu.
When I go to create a swapfile I get the following..

sudo: >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 31 <<<
sudo: >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 32 <<<
sudo: >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 33 <<<
sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 31
sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin

Tried to figure it out myself.
At this point, I have concluded I am an idiot.
Help would be appreciated.

Be my guest.
I like helping people venture into the crypto worlds.
However, please try to do your own research before asking newbie questions.
I can provide intermediate/advance support. Newbie questions irritate me too much (I used to work in an IT helpdesk, so I hope you can understand my viewpoint )

+1 - the coin has some potential atleast he tooked his time and made a nice logo and big wallet. lol. but yeah, he has some plans for the coin so it's a good investment at this point.

Mmmkay. Makes sense. Thanks for the info. I really should look more into using cloud hashing. I tried the Windows Azure trial, was pretty nice. Got some profit off of it...but that was an "expensive" trial at $200 for a few days.

Appreciate the answer by the way, if this kind of thing isn't meant to be here, would it be possible for me to message you?

I mine until I can still generate the coins relatively cheap. Paying 10 bucks for the ability to mine 100k of a coin which is not on any exchanges yet I see as a very very good deal.

However, I am still to mine that 100k The difficulty multiplied by 5 since I started 10 hours ago or so.

Its hard to tell. I dont mind mining for a minus revenue, since cryptos usually pay off later 10 fold if the development team is strong enough.

Particle is nice and I can see that the devs spent some time on the design at least. This will attract (or be more eye pleasing) to the average Joe:)

What's the proper way to see profitability of mining through a paid VPS?
Do you guys just use current market price on a mining calculator along with difficulty to see possible profit or what?

setting up multiple dual core cpus on the amsterdam servers give you 160KH/s each.
I set up 4 of them getting 640-650KH/s and paying half the price
You are limited to 5 droplets if you are mining crypto though.
Support told me they do not increase this limit if you are a miner.
They can see it all there. Awesome support though. Really fast responses!

EDIT: also, please, do not create multiple accounts for this, because you will ruin it for all the miners when they will start banning accounts.

No problem! You can use the same method for any Quark-based coin

lol dat referral doe

Thanks for the tutorial, much appreciated!

Have fun

Thanks. I'll look into it.

on an 8 CORE CPU droplet just now::

What kind of hashrate can I expect from one droplet?

PARTICLE is a CPU minable alt coin based on Quark. The coin was NOT PREMINED and uses a combination of algorithms that makes it resistant to GPU and ASIC mining. It was announced on 31 December 2013. Read more about it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annprt-particle-cpugpu-fast-easy-mine-no-premine-official-thread-392804

1. Sign Up for an SSD cloud server or log in if you already have an account.

2. Fund your account with some credit (10$)

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

should the link to cpuminer-quark.zip give you a 403 error, try this link instead:
sudo wget https://prt.suprnova.cc/cpuminer-quark.zip

13. sign up at a pool, for instance http://www2.coinmine.pl/prt/ and connect your new miner to your preferred pool, let's use prt.mine-pool.net for the guide (launch from the same dir as you compiled)
OR alternatively use the pool at prt.suprnova.cc
OR if you prefer, use a p2p pool like:

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, have fun and a HAPPY NEW & BLISSFUL YEAR 2014!
