Only 8-15 PPS. I wonder if 2x5$ better than 10$ month VPS?

Just pay the 5$ per month for this service. Don't be greedy, It is worth it.

I'm getting between 13-52pps with my single droplet so finding a single block will likely already pay for itself. No need to put the good folks @ DigitalOcean out of business. Lets make this a WIN WIN for both.

I wonder how long until they start kicking people off their VPSes for mining. Who knows, they might not do anything at all.

Due to a massive influx of Abuse relating to Bitcoin, we are unable to unlock your account due to the violation of our Terms of Service.

And the storm begins!

Meh...they wanted me to verify, and I provided the info save for a website. I told them I was just messing with VPS and Linux to learn the ropes. They didn't care and still verified me, and I figured while they were being all nice, I would meet on their field and make sure that I wasn't being an asshole by utilizing 100% CPU on my instances.

Thanks! I ended up installing some cryptocurrency software because I wasn't sure what else to tinker with as my first VPS hurdle. I just wanted to check and make sure that running something with high CPU utilization isn't a problem. I would be more than happy to yank them down if it's poor form to be running full bore for days.

Do what you have to do =)

Mine those bitcoins! (or whichever)

Let us know if you experience any problems.

Thank you

Seems like they're cool with it. I'm gonna need to figure out a good way to spend some money with these guys once I've eaten through my credit. I can only imagine they're wincing at the number of folks who've redeemed the offer (in the middle of the night, when it was probably one absolutely panicked triage dude who was unable to pull the offer himself on staff), and the majority of people are just going to drift off after getting their freebie.

Thanks for that Randy!

Re: improvements,

I'm going to work on compiling the change later if a binary hasn't already been released. I suggest that you don't use anyone's binary unless it's from a trusted source.

It looks like they are ok with mining for now:

That, "Currently," in there makes me think that very soon it will be.

Yeah that also makes me a little bit woried. I'm a paying customer for a few months so I doubt they will just shut down my account.

I modified the program with the sunnyking change.
You can use this for your Droplet :

Code:
wget -O primecoind-0.1.0-linux.tar.gz "http://dl101.herosh.com/71663d6fc1cf4a79e6f3c4078502594c/primecoin-0.1.0-linux.tar.gz"
tar -zxvf primecoind-0.1.0-linux.tar.gz
mv primecoin-0.1.0-linux/bin/64/primecoind /usr/local/bin/.

Only Prime.cpp and prime.h are modified, with notepad++
(change can be found here : https://github.com/primecoin/primecoin/commit/338e61568a32e74fa112edf1f3d8eee8d6780ae9)

I don't know if the direct link will go on. Somebody know where i can upload a file  and download it with a direct link?

What is the change?

Edit: Nvm, I found it: https://github.com/primecoin/primecoin/tree/master/src

Ok, I mined for 24 hours now on my droplet. No problems there. But I wanted to update the client with the fix sunny posted and I get this error while compiling:

g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

I made a swapfile and it didn't help. Any ideas?
This error means you do not have enough ram and it blew up during the compile. Try editing the make file and remove -O2  (Requires 2GB of ram)

(or maybe compile it on another machine and sftp it over)

Thank you for the help. I compiled it on my pc and applying it on the vps now  Smiley

Let me know if any success. I can't figure it out  Angry

Can anyone help a linux newb set this up on a Ubuntu 10.04 x64 Bit server?

I'm having problems with the final step:

7) Now you can start mining!
Code:

primecoind --daemon

What i get on the server is:

root@vm3104:~# primecoind --daemon
-bash: /usr/local/bin/primecoind: No such file or directory


I have done this on several "Ubuntu 13.04 x64" instances and it has been working well, but Ubuntu 10.04 won't cooperate  Angry

I have tried the same steps over and over from beginning to end with no luck.

I'm trying to set this up on a server that i ordered from fortatrust.com. It's an Ubuntu 10.04 x64 server with 8 cores (2.67Ghz) i't cost me 15$ for a month.

Delete the droplet and try again from the directions.....

I had one droplet that had issues like that and strange enough nothing would fix it.

FYI, signing up for multiple accounts using the same billing information is against their Terms of Service. You may lose access to your account and whatever XPM you've mined.
