hey guys, short question:

what's the recommended minimum number of confirmations a site should use before crediting deposits? I know that poloniex takes ~16(?) confirmations, but that always feels like a little bit too much.

reason I'm asking: https://i.imgur.com/e3BcgAU.jpg

Cool site.

I would think that 8 confirmations would be sufficient. But, maybe someone else will tell us why that number is too low.

Is this coin still CPU mineable?
And if it is, how do I go about it?
Many thanks Cheesy

yes it is.

Have a look at [XMR] Monero Mining https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xmr-monero-mining-653467 for more info.

I'm at the last step, but getting a ./minerd: command not found Huh

I'm in the same directory though, and I (thought) it was set up and ready to go...I mean I've used the same program, in the same VM before...

Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

In all probability there was an error and it didn't finish compiling the miner. Do make again and take note of any errors.

EDIT: Or you are not inside cpuminer-multi/ directory...

Thanks for the response -

I'm receiving this error:

Code:

Makefile.am:12: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')

Any ideas what's causing this? Or anything I can do to solve it? I'm not too familiar with the purpose of FLAGS

did you try running it anyway?

i think i've encountered that error and it still runs.

then again, ima noobish. I wear noobilific jibbers on me jammer jobbers

Smooth, you've received a solid commendation from Anonymint Grin

Quote from: TPTB_need_war on May 09, 2015, 05:09:06 AM

Smooth is the most astute programmer in altcoins that I have had discussions with.

It seems to me that Monero has the best team of any altcoin.

Impressive!

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of a (up to date) walkthrough for setting up Monero mining, through a VPS? I have two VMs (google and amazon) running Ubuntu, if that helps. I just can't find any guides that still work 100%....

I appreciate any help - thanks in advance..

(i've set up miners for other coins before, I'm just not that familiar with XMR yet)

Here are the commands to get Wolf0's CPU miner going in Ubuntu 14.X:

Code:

sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install screen;sudo apt-get install git;sudo apt-get install build-essential;sudo apt-get install pkg-config;sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev;sudo apt-get install automake

wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.34.0.tar.gz;tar -xvf curl-7.34.0.tar.gz;cd curl-7.34.0/;./configure --disable-shared --enable-static;make -j 4;sudo make install;cd ..

git clone https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi;cd cpuminer-multi;./autogen.sh;./configure;make -j 4

The above will get the miner software installed.

Then set hugepages to 3X the number of cores, so 24 in a case of a CPU with 8 cores mining.

Code:

sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=24;

SCREEN for allowing you to disconnect, yet leave the miner hashing:

Code:

screen -t m1n3r

Finally, the command-line to start mining, where is yours and X = # of cores.

Code:

sudo ./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://[Monero_Mining_Pool_of_Choice] -u  -p x -t X

Then CTRL+A and then press 'D' to disconnect from that session, leaving the mining active.

Bear in mind this setting won't "stick" across reboots. You'll have to redo it after every reboot or edit your config files (depends on distro but often something like /etc/sysctl.conf)

Has Monera a asset exchange or crowdfunding platform like some other crypto coins have were I can invest in Monera related projects?

It is in development as a feature of the Monero forum: http://forum.getmonero.org

You can donate to core development directly.

The core devs are working on something in the getmonero.org forums along this line, where you can directly fund specific projects.

As it exists now, the getmonero.org forums have an area where people can post projects they are working on and ask for funding.
