Found this little bash script from reddit
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5987007

It show your balance, recent transactions and pps, just like the command:

Code:

watch 'primecoind listtransactions & primecoind getmininginfo'

Simpe guide for using it in user's home directory

Code:

cd
wget https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5987007/raw/5f92a73e579f448a1af0e7b40ec45974e54ab4c9/miningstats.sh
chmod +x ./miningstats.sh
watch ./miningstats.sh

And the script outputs like this:

Code:

[+] Your balance is: 0.00000000
[+] Recent transactions are (amount / state)
15.79000000 - orphan
[+] You're currently mining at 149 pps

Thanks, at least the terminal will show me 0.000000 in a fancy and simplistic way Cry

Please refrain from mining on momento. Our seed nodes are located there. If you kill the cluster you would cause me a lot of trouble.

Alright, sorry.

I switched to Chemisist's build for now. It appears to get a higher pps by around 25%.

Code:

git clone https://github.com/Chemisist/primecoin chem
cd chem/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
primecoind stop
sleep 5
sudo mv primecoind /usr/local/bin/.
primecoind --daemon
watch 'primecoind listtransactions & primecoind getmininginfo'

Difficulty is going up, and miners are improving. Looks we like have found some new world records!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253409.60

I wonder if any of these were mined on DigitalOcean instances?

EDIT: If you mined one of the record blocks we'd love to hear about it!

I have a basic mining question.

I've been moving all my xpm to my local system which is a vdi running ubuntu as I have a mac. I haven't yet optimized this miner with Chemisists build and would like to but I'm worried about my existing wallet that has all my xpm. Do I just need to back up the wallet.dat file to another directory, do the rebuild, then copy back and expect to be able to open it and access all my xpm or is there some other process?

Backuping the wallet is always a good idea, but you don't need to do it for a rebuild. Old and new executable share the same wallet, to be exact every time primecoin software starts it checks to find the wallet in the expected place and uses it if it finds one, or creates new one if there is no wallet there. It never overwrites new wallet destroying the old.

Excellent - that's what I was assuming but wanted to be sure. Thanks!

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

this just gives a blank screen?

How long are you waiting? It seemed to take a while to generate the swap file.

I made a deposit there...0.1btc, what do I do with that then? :/
How/why would it hurt to mine on say one 8 core instance? I'm not super greedy, but don't feel like wasting money.

I think momento's cluster is very small, if I run mining in 2 vms, they basically each generate half compared to just run mining in 1 vm.

So don't try to consume all cpu there, I already felt slow there today. Mine some, I think you should be able to make the money back. But I would advise other people refrain from mining there.

Thanks Sunny, yeah, I'll try to make that back and then stop mining there.

Been running 20cores at DO for 12 hours, only been able to find 1 block so far.
I don't think it is feasible to mine with cloud instances, it cost too much and the return is too little.

I agree - I pulled my clusters today... Price dropping too fast whilst getting too hard to find blocks

i pulled mine as well.

Just a reminder, if you decided to stop mining on DigitalOceans you must destroy the instances.
otherwise it would continue to charge you.

I mined 2 blocks with my single 1CPU/512 MB VPS on digital ocean in the time that I was asleep/at work yesterday.

My AMD Phenom mined 0 though it didn't have internet while I was at work all day.

Since I got hom, I've started two more single core instances, using Chemisist's builds. So I now have three, one running the same build from Sunny that gave me the 2 blocks.

Haven't found anything so far. It's only cost me $0.40 to run all this, though, so it's worth it (to me).
