Topic: [XPM] Pool mining primecoin using DigitalOcean (VPS) - page 32. (Read 88579 times)
I am dumbfounded that I have not found 1 block yet with just over a dozen droplets....
Trying it for giggles...let's see if I can edit the config :p
Amazon EC2 (Micro Instance)
I tried a number of EC2 types today. Its almost impossible to get anything to work on anything greater than 1 CPU due to entropy issues (although I tried in earnest to resolve that too)I tried out haveged for increasing entropy with no noticeable effect.
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-additional-entropy-for-cloud-servers-using-haveged
I'm getting a lot of variation in primespersec across droplets, but did manage to get a block in the last hours.
I wonder how long until they start kicking people off their VPSes for mining. Who knows, they might not do anything at all.
Can I get detailed instructions on how to transfer coins from the droplets to my wallet?
Thanks.
Thanks.
There are a few ways, once its matured.
primecoind sendtoaddress yourhomeaddress amount
Before its matured:
from vps:
primecoind listtransactions # to get the receiving address
primecoind dumpprivkey $receiving_address
from home:
primecoind importprivkey $privkey_from_vps
I then remove the wallet.dat from the vps to get all new keys, though its not necessary.
Yeah, thanks for helping people who are too lazy to use Google get all the blocks.
You don't know me moron...OP is doing a great service here, don't let your greed make you troll random folk.
I don't need to know you to see that you need to beg on a forum for information that you could easily get from Google. OP is helping along people who have done no research into cryptos and just want to make some "magic internet money". By the way, you're the one using VPS services to mine, while I'm mining on machines I own. You call me greedy?
Or, conversely, they are people who truly believe in cryptocurrency and want to support an idea they believe in, and primecoin sure seems to have garnered the love of the community by utilizing novel algorithms.
How long have you been here again? I have been hashing away since BTC was $2. I am no moron when it comes to computers, but I am a biologist...my coding knowledge caps out with systat and excel statistical packages. I wouldn't have been able to piece this together without this thread. Is me mining on the primecoin network with additional resources somehow a bad thing? Is having a secure network bad? Is a solid and fair (READ: IT'S FUCKING FREE) distribution of hashing power detrimental to the survival and proliferation of XPM?
Your statement is wholly influenced by selfishness, profit, and greed, and you look like a giant asshole. You're really taking the moral high horse because you are too, I don't know...arrogant/stupid/proud to utilize free VPS service? Seriously, dude...go to bed. You're getting cranky.
So, you've been hashing for that long, and you still don't know how to use a *coind? I find that really hard to believe. No, you mining is not a bad thing, but refusing to do your own research and wasting other people's time to make money IS a bad thing.
And using VPS services is just trying to get more than your fair share.
I added this promo code from their twitter to the OP: SSDFUEL, let us know if it works for you.
Looks like the coupon code is dead!

nice,
how many instances did they give you? i don't think its unlimited, but it is a good method for 10-30.
rethaw, what's your xpm address?
I'll donate a few xpm once I get some.

I have a shitty pentium d man...and I do research all the time, thing is linux is not my thing.
I've learnt countless amounts of stuff from the internet, and am perfectly capable and not a lazy scumbag as you think I am, yet I was at work when I asked that.

Maybe I was being a little unfair to you. But still, it pisses me off when people who have never used a *coind before ask the most basic questions while mining on VPSs. It's often because they're total noobs trying to get more than their fair share, indicating they care nothing for crypto and the community, just getting a little cash and leaving.

Of course man, I'm in the same boat...have you not accused me we would have agreed on that point :p
Funny thing huh?
I'm stashing coins, and mining the ones I support actually, I despise coinchoosers with a passion. I try to sell goods for btc or whatever....don't wanna derail the thread but there're a few things we can do get this going.
I also do my fair share of promotion for cryptos in general at several forums and irl too.

Can you clone preexisting droplets?
I do believe so.
Try making an image of an existing instance and report back.
If I clone an instance with primecoind already installed I guess both instances share the same wallet? I assume this isn't a problem?
Yes, you can clone them. Makes it easier to manage since you are only dealing with 1 wallet.

All the debate about using VPS services vs. self-hosted would be settled by consulting the terms of service or contacting DigitalOcean directly. I'm pretty sure Amazon would have no problem with pegging CPU usage at 100% because that's what EC2 instances are often used for. They are on-demand processing power, designed for instant scalability. DigitalOcean, on the other hand, offers a significantly cheaper VPS plan. My instinct tells me they are like the majority of web hosts that oversell hardware with the realization that most users never approach 100% utilization. I'm not saying DigitalOcean cheats, in fact, I've been a very happy customer for over two months now. Just that they may be optimistic in their pricing and will need to adjust prices if a majority of users peg their VPS CPUs.
