Hi all! I'm new to the forum, but I've been lurking for quite sometime.
Anyways, I wanted to test out the waters of some alt coins. I have been doing a bit of Philosopherstone and Dogecoin recently. I decided to try out Primecoin on DigitalOcean. I followed this guide:
http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2013/12/04/primecoin-cloud-mining-using-digital-ocean-complete-guide/Seemed simple enough, and I had the dependencies thanks to Dogecoin mining on DigitalOcean. However,
when I get to the last command (to start mining), nothing happens... The console just accepts the command and waits for another??? I retried it several times, changing the order of the primeminer commands, the port, the IP address, the password, and still it does nothing.
I also tried this guide for good measure:
http://techupdates.com/go/643377#It seems pretty good since it will auto restart after any crash, however, I just get a ENOEXEC error when I type in the "tail" command, and then the console gets stuck!
If anyone could give me
any suggestions or advice it would be much appreciated. If it helps, I am using Debian 7 x64 with the cheaper of the 2-core options. Thanks!
