Speed isn't fast but cost isn't very bad, you need to analyze cost/profit which would be a lot easier if the beeeeer.org website came back up!!! :(

i started it. I got a share too. although with beeeer down i cant see what i get.

but how many threads? with 32 it killed but with 8 it started

Ive tried with 4, 8 and 16 - i think 4 was the fastest but still only getting 0.3 or 0.4 shares per min.

Dont know why but had the thought it was going to be super fast but my overclocked I5 still leaves it for dead

Opened an account using the above referral link and credited $10 by paypal.

Also got another $10 free credit use the promo code - DIVEIN10

Tokens of appreciation welcome ;)

Got it running, but speed at the moment is 0.4 sh/m using the above suggested 4 cpu and 8gb ram with 4 threads.

 should i have set thread count higher?

no connection to the server. Reconnecting in 10 seconds is all i get :P

Seems like it's port 1337 that gives me the issue.

(i'm a linux newb)

Note that if you try and spend $10, I'll give you .10 protoshare ($2.5@currency prices on btc38, which means you can get you first $10 of cloud mining done as a test for 25% off)

*Thank you to Super3 and Belltown for the original guide*

Hello Everyone,
Recently a thread has been published about mining Protoshares on the cloud - something which can be very profitable to do. Here I have taken the feedback from people in the cloud and have decided to put that all in one thread for you guys. I've also tried to make it a bit simpler for "newbies".

To start, please sign up for DigitalOcean using my referral link: https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=3a96071d7d5f If you do, I'll give you some PTS for trying it out:), just post your address in this thread. To get extra, let me know you used my referral code (and if I got the referrals) then I'll give you .10 PTS!


Guide For beeeeer.org
First you need to create a droplet. I recommend starting with as large of a size as possible, though the best started is the 4 CPU / 8 GB - but feel free to start with a smaller one. Just don't use the smallest because when I tried it I got an error for using too much memory. . Make sure to make  Debian 7.0 x64 your image. Once your droplet is created you should see a button in the top right that says root access. Click on that button and use your username and password (that are emailed to you when you create a droplet) to log in.

Once you have logged in type in the following code in order:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yasm -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix

git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer
cd ~/ptsminer/src
make -f makefile.unix
./ptsminer <your PTS address> <number of threads>

Go to http://ptsweb.beeeeer.org/user/<your PTS address> to see how many coins your getting!

If this guide helped you to mine some coins please send your tips to PqmyVWJtJgb2qudCiDyQvTMo7ibJfWiuvY

Thanks!


Guide for ypool.net coming soon:)
