No, there's no optimized version for that architecture.
What's the output of
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"
The os you choose won't make a (big) difference
Yeah, it depends on the CPU your cloud service uses. I use Amazon's previous-generation CPUs, which are sandy bridge. If yours are the newest, Haswell will probably be the best yam version to use. You can post here what CPU you are using (example Xeon ####) and I can tell you what architecture it is.
the letter is like the version number, m > k
You need to download the file for your architecture and extract it. There's a yam-mmc.cfg inside the tar. Modify that file to use your addresses and upload it to your own dropbox account. Upload the tar too.
Then, modify the script to use your dropbox urls and the file/foldernames for your chosen architecture. You can add a cd ~ after #! /bin/bash to be sure it's happening in your home folder.
Thanks but it looks like that some parts are missing there...
Are those all the commands I need from step 1? Most guides have "cd ~" lines and "apt-get update" lines.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yam_miner AND https://www.dropbox.com/s/your_yam_config lead to invalid pages. Are you sure about those URLs?
How about the final commands that connect the droplet with the pool?
Is it better to use ubuntu or delian and what version?
Thank you so much!!!
Nah yam miner is pretty self contained, no need for any sudo apt-get update. As for the dropbox, use your OWN dropbox URLs, gotta put some work into it to get the desired results. If I gave you my URLs, with my yam-config, your miners would be connected and mining for my address. Set up your own yam-config ahead of time, add it to your own dropbox (or any upload site really, I just use dropbox for convenience), and replace the URL. Do the same with the newest yam miner.
Refer to this topic https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2609.0 for newest yam version, information, and support.
Solo cloud mining with the built-in non-optimized miner is definitely not profitable.
I don't think pool mining would be, because the VPS CPUs probably don't support AES.
Ok, so isn't there a way for configuring a cloud to work with the optimized miner AND connect with a pool where you can have multiple workers (like http://mmc.gpools.com/ )?
I don't even care if this is profitable. I have lots of cloud credits to waste...
Come on! There are a lot of smart people here! Someone must know how to do this...
Thank you!
On Linux, with yam, it's pretty easy. First take both the yam miner and your yam config and put it in your dropbox. For this instance, this is using sandy bridge yam. Then:
#! /bin/bash
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/yam_miner
tar zxvf yam-yvg1900-M7k-linux64-sandy-bridge.tgz
cd yam-yvg1900-M7k-linux64-sandy-bridge
cd linux64-sandy-bridge
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/your_yam_config
./yam --config yam-mmc.cfg
