Hey guys,
if you want to mine CPU coins like Monero (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xmr-monero-a-secure-private-untraceable-cryptocurrency-583449) you probably need more CPUs.
I found a nice page where you can rent servers per hour and where you can add multiple servers for getting more cores.
My little guide is for cpuminer-multi because it seems, this miner is getting a bit better shares compared with simpleminer.
If you want to donate me for that, i would be happy. Otherwise just use my referal link, because if you pay in 10$ i will recive some $ for free

And here is the tiny tut:
1.) sign up useing my referal link (as i mentioned, i am getting some free $s if you sign up via my link):
https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=0673101630f52.) for being able to use the servers, you must deposit 10$. I suggest useing paypal, because i don't like entering my credit card informations on the internet.
3.) activate this coupon code for receiving 10$ on digitalocean for free!!
SSDMAY104.) create a droplet with 2CPU and 2 GB of ram (for example Ubuntu 14.04 64bit). You can have up to 5 droplets per account!
5.) per email you will receive the server IP and password.
6.) connect to the server via putty
7.) run the following commands for getting the miner:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git make automake screen libcurl4-openssl-dev
cd cpuminer-multi
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make
After that cpuminer-multi is ready and compiled (if you have any problems here, message me, i will assist you)
If it is ok for you for letting the putty-windows open you don't have to install any other programs. I always have the putty windows open on my second monitor. Otherwise you might want to install screen and run the minerd command with
screen -S
I have my wallets on my windows computer which is running 24h per day, so i don't use screen. If the pool i am mineing is getting any problems, i will simply change it
Now you want to choose a pool, i am useing the monerpool.com:
for starting the miner you must go to the miner folder:
cd cpuminer-multi (if you left the folder before)
Starting command:
minerd ./minerd -a cryptonight --url=moneropool.com:5555 --user=pleaseenteryouraddresshere --pass=x -t 2
the
-t 2
is starting 2 threads. If you, for example, have a quadcore server, then set this to
-t 4
I hope this was helpfull for some people. It's a nice way for starting/testing cpu mineing.
Also the server could be used for setting up an apache webserver, a teamspeak server etc!
If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
