How to run a 24 core/8GB RAM miner of Ypool on windows 2003 64 bit, so he gave out about 500 col / min?
Please, step by step

Go to ypool.net register a new account.

Create a worker (you can leave the password "X" as default if you wish it really doesn't matter)

Go to the "how to" page on ypool, make sure your on PTS mode. Click the PTS tab on the how to page.

Download yvg1900 miner:

https://mega.co.nz/#F!h0tkXSxZ!f62uoUXogkxQmP2xO8Ib-g

Pick the windows miner Corei7.

Download the ZIP file, extract it.

There will be a list of folders where each is specific for the amount of RAM you wish each thread to be using. In your case 12GB you won't be able to run 512MB since it needs 12GB of RAM. So Use 256MB. So pick the folder that has 256.

In the miner folder 256 create a text document and add the following line:

jhProtominer.exe -o ypool.net:8081 -u username.workername -p workerpassword -t 24
pause

Save it and edit its extension, since its a notepad .txt file extension you'll need to change that to .bat.

Having that file in the 256MB folder run that .bat file you just created and it should run the miner and start mining.

Be sure to put your info for example: username.worker means yourusername at ypool.workername and the password which is after -p is the password you set for your worker which is by default an "X".

Hope this helps.

Well I just noticed at ypool difficulty just doubled its currently at 0.005626

Doesn't it increase at the end of the week (saturday-sunday)?

Interested to see how PTS prices are going to react to this.

2X Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2680 v2 (32 cores)

Ubuntu 13.0

Average HPM: 520 HPM

This is getting ridiculous. I have 200+hps hash power and my estimated return is going backwards. Shame just after a week or so from launch.

It will adjust at the end of the 24 hour cycle. I had that issue but I got almost double of my estimated earnings.

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!)

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.

How many HPM you guys getting with this?

Getting 200 col/min thats using the old miner from ypool. The updated/optimized miner from yvg should give you about 10% extra power.

Hey guys instead of creating a new thread I decided to edit this one and remove the expired promotion.

I'll update the first post with other trials, free credits and other freebies that I find suitable for mining PTS.

If you find a good freebie server/trial/free credit, post here or Private message me with the details and it will be added to the main post.

Another free month of a server similar to datasoft.ws: EXPIRES FEB 28 2014

http://www.server4you.com/dedicated-server/special-offer.php

You'll have to pay a 1$-2$ for verification, MAKE SURE TO CANCEL ANY MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS ADDED TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT OR CREDIT CARD OR JUST CANCEL YOUR  SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE YOUR FREE MONTH ENDS.

They might charge your PP/CC for the full price but I spoke to support and they said it was a mistake and you won't get charged for the first month. If they charge you for the first month and fail to issue a refund then simply open a dispute on Paypal explaining the situation or dispute the charge with your bank.

I've found a new trial offer for 200$ from Dimensions Data, they charge a hourly rate on servers.

Not sure but when your close to 200$ limit stop your servers because I think you get charged for anything above 200$ free credit.

Here's the link and details about the promotion:

https://nacloud.dimensiondata.com/limitedoffer/

Found another one:

A free 100$ credit on Amazon AWS that can be used on the EC2 service awesome for mining PTS.

http://aws.amazon.com/big-data/powerof60/

New accounts and old accounts are eligible for the 100$ free credit, just fill in the information and submit the form. If you have an account just fill in the details that match your amazon aws account details and the same email.

With 24-48 hours they will email you with the credits as a code that you enter in your aws control panel and a 100$ will be added to your account. If your monthly bill is a 100$ at the time you redeem the 100$ credit it will pay the amount owing.

You can only redeem one credit code on one account, don't try getting more than one code it won't let you redeem it. I tried.
