YEAH!!! You're my hero!  w00t

Again thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I've made some major strides in understanding but still have much to comprehend... I prefer to learn it and be able to do it myself. I accumulated some of my questions here.

On the Digital Ocean 2CPU/2GB Droplet, how frequent should the PTS payouts be? I haven't seen any, yet.
Using puTTY, how can I close the session and let ptsminer run? Maybe it is running, but I can't tell. When I reconnect, it doesn't seem to be running.
Can MMC also be mined in the cloud - same way as PTS?
I haven't managed to mine any PTS yet, but what is customary when it comes to tipping helpful forum members?

Thank you ZVS!
Here's where I get stuck...
