I've been mining XPM on DigitalOcean for the last 16 hours (thanks to Vorksholk from Bitcointalk.org forums for the tip), generated 18 blocks with about 1500 PPS at a cost of $10/day. I've written my own step-by-step guide along with my personal tips on the Primecoin forums: http://www.ppcointalk.org/index.php?topic=336.0 I'm not great at ubuntu or command line so I stuck with the Ubuntu Desktop.

Are you using the large instance? Mind sharing pps per instance? Thanks!

I'm averaging 25-30 PPS per instance.

How do you cancel this after your $10 credit is gone?

Also, I get cannot connect to server when checking primespersec or listtransactions...One of the instances won't run the wallet at all, and keep getting cannot execute...blabla.

EDIT: Error: To use the "-daemon" option, you must set a rpcpassword in the configuration file:
/root/.primecoin/primecoin.conf
It is recommended you use the following random password:
rpcuser=primecoinrpc
rpcpassword=CziftzFacpKexhCYVYvvjQWLkUEete9i4gMpVXBNW5Nn
(you do not need to remember this password)
The username and password MUST NOT be the same.
If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions.
It is also recommended to set alertnotify so you are notified of problems;
for example: alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "Primecoin Alert" [email protected]

That's the output, seems like I couldn't set the conf file properly.

EDIT2: Crap: primecoind listtransactions
Primecoin server starting
error: couldn't connect to server

So has anyone mined any primecoin yet? My transaction still doesn't show anything but judging by the specs of the vps i'm not surprised.

There have definitely been blocks mined this way. That being said difficulty is changing so solo mining a block has a lot of variance. There is some work on optimized miners in progress as well. I look forward to updating this once they are released.

I suggest you move out coins as you get them, lest you forget or terminate your instance.

dont bother line on line
just fire droplet,

type passwd root
use same password for convinience
and then... paste this as whole with enter after exit

wget -O primecoind-0.1.0-linux.tar.gz "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/primecoin/0.1.0/primecoin-0.1.0-linux.tar.gz?r=&ts=1373384018&use_mirror=superb-dca3"
tar -zxvf primecoind-0.1.0-linux.tar.gz
mv primecoin-0.1.0-linux/bin/64/primecoind /usr/local/bin/.
mkdir ~/.primecoin
echo "rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=SomethingReallyLongThatNoOneCouldGuess
gen=1" > ~/.primecoin/primecoin.conf
primecoind --daemon &&
exit

and forget for few days

Looks like the site is going up and down but one can still ssh in.

I copied the stuff in the op line by line, and changed rpc user and password.
Thanks! I'll donate 1 yac to you guys if you want. Cheesy

Perhaps you changed it without resetting primecoind?

I might have I suppose.

maybe file you have got is corrupted
please download again

My guess is you accidentally loaded a 32 bit droplet. You could try running the 32bit binary.

On this step

"
mkdir ~/.primecoin
echo "rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=SomethingReallyLongThatNoOneCouldGuess
gen=1" > ~/.primecoin/primecoin.conf
"

Does our rpcuser and rpcpassword need to match the droplet information?

I can see primecoind running but after exiting ssh I can no longer user primecoind, I get:

"error: incorrect rpcuser or rpcpassword (authorization failed)"

I'm a 200% linux noob...I followed the steps provided in the OP.
I wouldn't know how to erase the current client and redownload it...

Well I did find a workaround by stopping primecoind and restarting it:

Quote

kill

Then reopen and watch using the command:

Quote

primecoind --daemon

watch 'primecoind listtransactions & primecoind getmininginfo'

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.

I was able to get one droplet to work. The second one keeps giving me this:

root@primecoinminer1:/# primecoind --daemon
-bash: /usr/local/bin/primecoind: cannot execute binary file

I'm getting this: "Cannot execute binary file"

What am I doing wrong?

DigitalOcean.com is currently under maintenance and will be back shortly.

we destroyed DO

btw only 5 instances are allowed
mining is fine but no blocks

is there easy solution to do this ?

listtransactions if is not empty -> check log is in tx -> if tx is new email(email) & add txlog

maybe cron every 5mins ?
