Title: [Updated] Guide To Pool Cloud Mining Protoshares - Also get free PTS!
Post by: bitshirehashaway on November 16, 2013, 05:48:57 am
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:)

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.

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?

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

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 need to get to 5 PTS w/ ypool so that I can withdraw it and pay it out. I'm currently @ 3.3 eta 1-2 days. Thanks for the proof. When I get my payout shouldn't be more than a day or two I'll pay it out to all of you guys, sorry for any inconvenience caused. I have a list of addresses I need to pay to.

btw markkj is the only one whom has submitted proof so far and as a result the only one getting paid. Since I'm paying ~$6 its very easy for someone to say they signed up and give a PTS address, I want actual proof. If you forgot to record this, and you've already posted here PM me and maybe we can work something out.

P.S.: I noticed this after my account shows less referrals than the # addresses posted in the threads.

I'll wait for the proof and then mark you down as someone to be paid to. I decided to be less patient about getting 5 on ypool and quickly got to 1 (I had ~.5 waiting) on beeeeer.org (because there minimum payout is 1), so I now have a few blocks waiting to confirm and then in 2-3 hours markj113 I'll send you your payment! :)

*My apologies to you guys for inconvenience caused by my delayed payment sending. I plan on writing some guides for XPM soon and I'll have the rewards ready to go before I publish the guides.

[UPDATE]

#1 I have talked to one of the curecoin devs and when the coin is released I plan on working to create a cloud mining guide for it within the first few days. The reward for signing up under me will most likely be split: you will get roughly $2 in curecoin + $2 will also be sent to the red cross, or another popular charity.

#2 I am running a test on digital ocean for ~24 hours for 5 of the $80/month 4 CPU instances. I will let you know how it goes and whether or not it is profitable. The cost for this time will be $14.40, so I want to get 1.75 PTS to start making a profit.

Guys, be on the look out for a guide to get free mining w/ Windows Azure free trial - free money for a month and then you can shut it down and take your earnings - no cost to you. Relatively newbie friendly (no entering code into a command console, its like setting up a new miner on Windows 7)

Cloud mining protoshare test completed: 15% profitability on 5x $80/month servers (probably higher now since Bitcoin's price has literally gone up 50% in the last 24 hours while protoshare's price has only gone down ~25%.

Be on the look out for a primecoin test and the new curecoin guide which hopefully will come out soon (if they ever release the coin... I'm very impatient.) Also remember to sign up for a cloud server under my referral link for profitable rewards + a bonus for signing up (increasing your profitability even more!)

Hello,
I need you guys to PM me about getting your reward - mainly because I've gotten 2 new signups (who spent $10) today and I see three people asking me to pay them. Keep in mind while I'm not accusing you of anything - it would be very easy to get a few bucks just by posting your address, so I need you guys to PM me with proof, including a receipt that shows you have sent Digital Ocean $10. (Just signing up for an account isn't enough - that may have been what one of you guys did).

Heard about curecoin looks like mining it actually is useful. But I read alittle about it and seems its not just CPU based mining but also GPU mining.
Any idea on when its going to be launched? Would like to get a guide on how to mine it.

Digital Ocean charges per the hour. So I would recommend getting the $20/month option and having it running for 15 days or get a more expensive option for less time and then analyze your profit.

Ypool guide should come out this weekend or early next week.

I haven't paid attention to my cloud mines in a week or two so I'm not sure what this yasm thing is - I'll have to look into it and do some testing - expect an update to be rolled out in the next few days.

Thanks.

Curecoin hasn't been released yet - I can't make a guide for how to mine a nonexistant currency. Expect the guide within 3-4 days of the release depending on how quickly pooled mining gets setup and whether or not the payout is remotely worth it for CPU - if it becomes a GPU coin mainly cloud servers are useless.

How do I verify that I signed up with your link? I definitely clicked it and spent $10, so DigitalOcean definitely credited your account $10. I'll open a support ticket with them to see if they can confirm it.

Hey, I signed up last night and emailed for my bounty a while ago. Just letting everyone know I received it shortly after emailing proof of signup. I've been running a dual core droplet now for about 15 hours.

Posting to confirm I received my 0.25 PTS from bitshirehashaway, thanks!

I went with the 4 CPU / 8GB choice and found that running 4 threads was the most productive setting.
Just and FYI to everyone, once you create the droplet you will be charged the hourly rate, even if you power it down and nothing is running.

Sorry can't help you with Ubuntu x32. Your first problem is I'm pretty sure you should be using x64 for this miner. If I were you I would setup a droplet under Debian x64 to get it working.

Hi,

Signed up on digital ocean and have now funded account and hopefully mining.

The control panel shows collisions etc but beeer.org doesn't show any pts or parts of pts...probably done something else wrong :-[ - or do I have to wait a while.

Will open up the support ticket as suggested for proof - you would think they would put it in your confirmation email i.e. you have been referred by......

The websites up - check to see if they posted something their about it being down.


None of you guys included the necessary proof for payout - just some text that could easily have been made up to collect the reward. If you are actually serious about getting the reward PM me and I will tell you what screenshots you need to get. Remember if you want the reward PM me sooner than later because the reward has been going down as the price of PTS has skyrocketed (was 2 PTS which is now $70) - so if you take a while to PM me and provide all the necessary proof you will be paid at the reward level once your proof is validated.

Hi Bitshirehashaway

I have written to support about your referral but at the moment I am trying to get it to work again.

Worked fine initially but then it stopped and now I can no longer connect so they are trying to solve it for me, but haven't yet let me know who my referrer was.

In fairness they are being very patient and quick to respond.

Can you see the users that sign up under you - if you can see names then I can pm you and give you my user name so that you can match the 2 up?

So I set everything up with the 16GB RAM package and started with 25 threads. Don't think that worked because something went wrong after 5 minutes and putty disconnected due to a software problem.

Whats going on, and how many threads can I use to keep things smooth and stable?

Got it running smoothly with 12 threads atm averaging around 4 sh/m but I'd like to get away with more if I can. I want maximum mining power with everything still smooth.

Been going for an hour and a half or 2 hours and only mined a total of 0.00733 PTS. That doesn't seem right to me, so I must be doing something wrong or the pool is chincing me out...

You can't just put as many threads as you want - you need to set it to the number of virtual cores your package came with.

The number you put is based on the number if V CPUs your package gets. So your 8gb 4 CPU option would have 4 afterwards not 15.

Hi,

thanks for your response but im confused. So you mean

8gb/4CPUs =  ./ptsminer Phxxxxx 4

I was able to run  ./ptsminer Phxxxxx 15

Does this have an effect on mining performance? I feel if i set on 4 im not maximizing the server use right?

Thanks,

Mike

Post by: Secabre on December 12, 2013, 10:17:10 pm
I've found it not to be profitable at all.

The first problem I found was that in ratio, the 4CPU was farming more PTS then the 8CPU.
This is because the CPU's of the VMs arent used to 100% but peak at max 65%.
I don't know if DigitalCloud has limited the CPU useage.

In the guide is not noted that you can also setup the memory useage, which led me to the 2nd problem.
Because of the servers are located in different parts (New York, Amsterdam) and are being hosted on different servers, I highly recommend to test the different memory options.
I.e. for AMS1 I found that the 512MB option was working best while on AMS2 the 1024MB option was best.

With the US droplet test I didnt come far as the server could not connect to the debian server for the apt-get update command.

Anyways, after a total using of 20$ (a google search found me a 10$ vouche when I made the 10$ deposit), I've farmed a little less then 0.4PTS, which would give ~0.00950BTC, which is $8,30USD (trading/transaction fee's not included).

During the droplet run, I also had my own computer doing some farming in the meantime, with a avarage of 1.1 sh/m. These shares are included in the droplet test, so I was cheating in the droplets favor too.

EDIT:

I've send a support ticket to DigitalOcean asking about it and it told me this about CPU useage:
Please note that this is a shared service provider, as you share all resources with other customers.

Actually a "duh". But it's good to know that a sudden CPU drop can also be expected.
Depending on your luck and/or which of what kind of other users that share the same machine as you decide your c/m and thus your sh/m rate.

EDIT2:

After this I've checked up my miners, I noticed that 1 miner actually droped in 10% CPU usage.

Sadly same experience i have. Even DO droplets is not design for mining, i think in the future they may change there policy on mining as DO droplets is built for other reason and not mining.

But on the good side a feel and experience on how to mine as you can setup several computers (droplets)

It was a nice expierence and my knowledge on the mining has expanded because of it.
I do not regret the €6,- I spend in this adventure (Yay exchange course!).

I'm going to search on markets and other places for CPU's and motherboards so I can build a PTS-mine specific rig.
I think that will be most profitable for the CPU mining, as cloud and other VM services are a monthly fee and the others are a 1-time payment (relativly cheaper too if you search well).

EDIT:

After posting this, my DO credit was a little more then $2,- USD. After rechecking my droplets, I checked billing (like every time when logging in), I noticed it stated "You owe us $0.38".
So, I immediately checked the droplets, and they were still active! I used Paypal to make the deposit, but I think for Credit Card subscribers, they will be charged on the card when in debt.
I find this a bit annoying as I actually expected that the droplets would be turned of and/or destroyed when you hit $0.00 credit.

So for those who seek information in the replies about mining on DO:
- It is not profitable. I made $8,- with a $20,- investment ($12,- loss!).
- The CPU's usage depends on other users that share the same machine (8 CPU's doesn't have higher c/m and sh/m as the 4CPU due to this).
- Unknown of which kind of CPU's are being used on the server machines (no fine tuning).
- CPU usage drops aren't rare (see my previous posts).
- Hourly credited with ~5 hour intervals (Meaning, the costs of your droplet is not charged every 1 hour, but is charged every ~5 hours (so the credit you have is not in real-time).

I'm sorry to the OP of this topic, I don't want to be negative, but Digital Ocean is not usable for PTS mining.

As additional info, at the time of this writing:
1 PTS = 0.02454 BTC or 1 PTS = $22.52USD

(Unfortunately I was not able to make 1 PTS, but 0.4035PTS using 5x 4CPU droplets and 1x home PC using 4CPU (with a higher c/m then the droplets) which made me 0.00990BTC (trading fee of 0.2% included total).

Hi, I want to ask a noob red hat question.
I have redhat machine, not ubuntu, so don't answer with ubuntu instructions please.

I have installed by yum: gcc-c++ and make .
So, I have tried to make a makefile on src folder of a miner, but a lot of errors appeared about std and more.
What instructions should I follow to do the same as this?(On RedHat):
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

Thank you!

A Guide on how to set your droplet to auto start ptsminer on boot

Note: I assume you followed "bitshirehashaway" instructions to the letter. If you changed something (e.g. ptsminer install path), you might need to change some stuff.

1. First we need to edit the /etc/rc.local file in a text editor, so enter the following command in the terminal:
Code: [Select]
nano /etc/rc.local
2. In the text editor (nano), insert the following line right before the last line ("exit 0"):
Code: [Select]
/usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh 60 & 
Save the file and exit the text editor (CTRL+X).

3. Now let's create the ptsminer startup script. Enter the following command:
Code: [Select]
nano /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh
4. In the text editor paste the following text:
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash
DEFAULT_DELAY=0

if [ "x$1" = "x" -o "x$1" = "xnone" ]; then
   DELAY=$DEFAULT_DELAY
else
   DELAY=$1
fi

sleep $DELAY

echo "About to run ptsminer"

cd /root/ptsminer/src
./ptsminer <your PTS address> <number of threads>
Replace <your PTS address> with your actual wallet address and <number of threads> with the number of cores.

Save the file and exit the text editor.

5. Run the following commands and click enter after each one:
Code: [Select]
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh
chown root:root /usr/local/bin/launch_ptsminer.sh

That's it, you're done! :)
We configured the OS to run "launch_ptsminer.sh" 60 seconds after system boot. The "launch_ptsminer.sh" script executes the ptsminer. So go a head and try it out by restarting the system (cmd: "shutdown -r now") and then check out your process list (cmd: "top").


If this guide helped you to mine some coins please send your tips to:
PnT2vspKeewTLqTD8rqmDhyeyNvJAai57D

Thanks!

P.S.
You can use this steps to create auto run scripts for other CPU miners (just play with the last 2 lines of "launch_ptsminer.sh").

If the OP isn't actually paying people, then that would be scamming. The OP gets $10 via Paypal for EVERY referral. Who knows how many people signed up? If people are getting paid, that's great. Why would someone lie about not getting paid? Why lie about paying people - well, to continue a scam.

Some people have been asking me about this, so remember the number of threads is the number of Virtual CPU's your package comes with when you sign up. On the choose your package page it'll tell you the storage, ram, and cpu cores, the number of threads = number of cpu cores. Hope that helps!

PM'ed Nuke, thanks for your impatience. I had finals which was why I didn't reply to you right away.

hehe well you see i have ADD and for me it is difficult to wait for 0.25 PTS for five days and now another week. Because  i am really impatience when i see you posting on two forums at least every day yet not taking 30 seconds of your studying time (in 5 days) to send those around 2 dollars you have agreed while gaining 10.

And who cares about the 2.5 dollars? Its the fact that you dont care mostly and that i need those exackly 2 dollars to enter a poker game and i didnt really wanted to take it from my funds.

Anyway lets see if you send it after that week...

P.S. I am really impatience man indeed. You cant believe how i drive. Sometimes i want to kill people when i am waiting at queues...

it's not, unless you think the value of PTS will increase.. but then you'd be better off just buying PTS, instead of continuing to operate this while unprofitable

it's good to use with the free credits, that's it

Thanks,

Has anyone else run into this? First attempt at mining so please feel free to point out the stupid obvious mistake! I've followed both the updated mining guide from the protoshares website and the original script on this thread with the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Parker

1) you shouldn't be using root

2) you dont need to change to a directory you're already in

3) you wouldn't use < > for this, it'd be ' '  , but it isnt necessary here anyway

4) ptsminer doesn't exist in /ptsminer/src, either because you never compiled it or because it has a different filename.  i have no clue.  use ls -latr

ZVS,
thank you for a quick response. Root is my username from Digital ocean but should enter through another user or not work in the root directory? It looks like the ptsminer is in the directory but I have no idea if its compiled...  Does it look compiled below or or am I missing some steps? I've entered the command for github ptsminer from the first page of this forum and the protoshares mining guide web page. Whats below is everything in my directory. When I attempt to compile the miner again I get an error "directory already exists"?

Hello,
I've noticed for nearly everyone who has had an issue is not using the debian 7.0 x64 OS. Please use that as it is the OS this guide was designed for and it could help reduce your problems.

Hello,

I signed up with digital ocean - cool service will use again.

My address is PuVzWKURF3UTzrycZh2Agzxbmj1hmZi1Kv

I started mining and it said:

HELP :'(

How do you know if your actually mining with the digital ocean server?
I can not seem to use threads higher then 2.  Always crash if I do.

Also do I need to leave putty on?
Can I close putty and will it still  be running on the vps?
How do I restart the miner when I go back in from putty?

Is there a way to see how fast ur going at?

Am I dumb to do this when people are talking about using cuda and gpu to mine this?

Is there a mining calculator out there that we can estimate how much we can earn from PTS?

SOME ONE HELP ME PLS!!!!! THIS IS SO CONFUSING AND DIFFERENT FROM LITECOIN.
Title: Re: [Updated] Guide To Pool Cloud Mining Protoshares - Also get free PTS!
Post by: mich431 on January 17, 2014, 08:57:20 am
instead of multiple threads you can also start multiple processes of the miner (incase you have problems with threads)

check how much MB Ram your vserver has and ensure that Threadcount*ram used per thread does not exceed your total ram (leave some ram unused for the OS) - if you violate that -> "killed"

to not leave putty on use the Scren application:

screen -S "name" opens a new screen (like a new browser tab)
then start your process and you can exit putty now
when come back use screen -r and your back where you have been

some miners have stats that are hard to understand as a beginner... you have to mine for a couple of hours or a full day (until some blocks are found) inorder to see how good your doing roughly - use the pool stats for this

there are tons of mining calculators out there, not sure if they work for PTS - but to use them you need a better understanding of what your doing and some stats (at least c/m or cpm)
i also rented 2 vservers - after testings my rough estimates are that i get 10% back of what i invested - especially when GPU mining of PTS is going now this value should even decrease
so if the servers arent free for you, you should just give it up ;)

cheers

Thanks for the reply.
Your right I am probably never going to get my investment back on protoshare.

I will try the screen -r thing to see if I can run it without putty.

my speed is about super low now.  I will try the screen thing and get back to ya.

I got the screens to work finally.

I am more of a windows person not so much for linux.

Now with a 2cpu 2 gig memory, how fast should I be able to mine at?
This is different from bitcoin and litecoin so I don't know if I understand it.
I get like 15 c/m and 1.8 sh/m.

Is that good or bad?

I was just following the guide and it said to setup with 2 cpu and 2 gig of memory.

Depends on what size droplet you have that looks to be correct for a 2-4 core droplet.
