Thanks so much to whoever explained how to use avx on amazon.
I can't find your post anymore.. Too bad we didn't know that earlier :/

Could you tell me how to use AVX on Amazon???
I am running 20 spot instances with sse4 currently.

Just to let you know guys, the spot instance for a c3.4xlarge in South East asia  (Sydney) is only at 0.22 ... quite a bargain.

I tried to get them but it did not work (even for 0.35). The prices statistics are sometimes strange... or do just not understand it.

Hallo zusammen,

ich möchte nochmal auf Jiffybox hinweisen und ein aktualisiertes und vereinfachtes Howto veröffentlichen.
Cloud Mining mit Jiffybox ist nach wie vor profitabel (profitabler als jeder andere Cloud Dienst den ich gefunden habe) und ihr braucht nichts außer einer deutschen Telefonnummer sowie ein europäisches Konto.

Rechnung:

Ein Jiffybox Account mit der maximalen Anzahl (20) der kleinsten Cloud Server (die anderen bringen im Verhältnis weniger) kostet: 0,02 € * 20 Stück * 24 Stunden = 9,60 € pro Tag

Diese schürfen zusammen derzeit mindestens 0.75 PTS pro Tag also ca. 15 € pro Tag. Das heißt ihr verdient mindestens 5 € pro Tag und das bei einmalig 15 Minuten Aufwand.

Vorgehen:

1) Erstellt euch ein Jiffybox Konto.
2) Erstellt euch einen kleinen Cloud Server mit Debian 7.1 (64bit).
3) Verbindet euch mit Putty (oder einem beliebigen SSH client).
4)
Code: [Select]
nano /usr/bin/buildminer
Fügt diesen Code ein (mit eurer PTS Adresse, könnt natürlich auch meine nehmen)
Code: [Select]
cd ~
rm -rf ~/ptsminer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix yasm screen htop
git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer
cd ~/ptsminer/src
make -f makefile.unix
screen ./ptsminer PZbcpbARni1kLsxrwj8NHNiD44n69EMaMa 3 27 sse4
Speichern mit Strg+O und schließen mit Strg + X

5) Macht die Datei ausführbar mit:
Code: [Select]
chmod u+x /usr/bin/buildminer
6) Packt das ganze in den Autostart
Code: [Select]
nano /etc/rc.local
Tragt direkt über der Zeile "exit 0" nun die Zeile "buildminer" ein.
Speichern mit Strg+O und schließen mit Strg + X
7) Neustart mit "reboot". Bei jedem Neustart (kann man auch im Webpanel durchführen) wird der Miner nun auf die aktuelle Version aktualisiert.
8) Klickt auf die Jiffybox im Webpanel und 19x auf duplizieren.Startet die Boxen danach.
9) Freuen!

Wenn es klappt bitte spenden  ;) .

Beeeeer ist mir eigentlich sympathischer als ypool.
Da ich sowieso herausfinden will, ob meine Cloudserver noch profitabel sind, mach ich jetzt einfach mal nen 24 Stunden Test mit beiden (jeweils 60 CPU cores).

Hey,

i tried to mine on this pool again with the yvg9000 miner (jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7fs-linux64-corei7sse4) but i get only something like this:

Code: [Select]
collisions/min: 46.6667, warmup; Shares found: 0, submitted 0, accepted 0
collisions/min: 45.0000, warmup; Shares found: 0, submitted 0, accepted 0
collisions/min: 44.2500, warmup; Shares found: 0, submitted 0, accepted 0
collisions/min: 42.8571, warmup; Shares found: 0, submitted 0, accepted 0

Why "warmup" and why does it never submit any shares?

Hello,

i just read this topic here: http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1032.0

I am shocked that such problems occur again and again and again in the cryptocoin communities and that everybody make the same mistakes.

So:
I am doing hosting for business customers for nearly 10 years now and i know how to make servers secure.
If anybody needs help with configuring his server or a professional hoster --> PM me.

I am an absolute beginner to mining/cloud mining, but I was able to get this running as described on the first post. Does anyone have a way to correct this error I'm getting?:

INVALID SHARE - OUTDATED MINER VERSION

I've searched through the forum and found a couple references to it - but any of the fixes/workarounds mentioned are way over my head.. Is there a command I can put into putty to update the miner & which miner should I be updating to?

Sorry if I missed this somewhere else & thanks for any help!

Just download an use one of the updated miners here: https://mega.co.nz/#F!h0tkXSxZ!f62uoUXogkxQmP2xO8Ib-g
I did not test it but i guess i it works.

I am using beers pool currently:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix yasm screen htop

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

Just my feedback on the v0.7. I compiled myself in ubuntu 13.10, it seems to run much slower on i7-4770k compared to v0.6 (about 1.1sh/m slower). But v0.7 runs faster on my i7-2600k. So weird.

Have exactly the same issue. My I7-4770 dropped from 85 c/m to 70 c/m running on 2 cores.

39
yep, short downtime, but should be ok now, sorry.

and sorry for the rare updates currently, i'm working on a new version for the miner mostly
i'm currently testing sphlib & the avx/sse support glitchboy mentioned (thanks for that)
also i added the memory option (but it looks like 512mb is still the best one (at least for me), but it's always good to have an option)

looks like everything is ok here in the thread, nothing to answer ... wth? ;D

- xolokram

Thanks for your great work.
Will you upload the new version to your git repo? I would love to test it.
The 256MB option is usefull for servers with a lot of cores but less RAM (i have a 24 core with only 8 GB).

OK found new one  :D

http://www.hpcloud.com

they say its 90 days trial, now I am testing this configuration:
Flavor:  standard.2xlarge – 8 vCPU / 32 GB RAM / 960 GB HD
Image:  328943 – Ubuntu Server 13.10 (amd64 20131030) - Partner Image

EDIT
it seems it is 20-25% faster then MS Azure server
after testing 1h it generated 73 shares vs azure 47 so its 55% faster
I like this game  :D

if you think I've helped you, you can tip me
thanks

Hey,

thanks.
But it looks like only a XS machine is included in the trial.

any tips to get beeeeer's pool working on azure? i tried transplanting and frankensteining commands I was using on AWS (running ubuntu 13.10 as well) but I cannot figure it out!

Setup with Debian 7.

edit:

Howto setup on Debian 7 (copied from another thread)
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -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>

42
i will upgrade the server now. there will be a (hopefully just) small downtime. don't panic.

- xolokram

What did you change? Just switched back to your pool with ~60 cores. More will follow.
Can you give me some info about using your miner on linux?

I am currently just compiling the git src with "make -f makefile.unix". Does it use sse/avx ... ?

Thanks for the hint.
I will try it  ;)

Does somebody have the AMD versions of the optimized miner?
I made a mistake and lost my one...

45
Since the diff rise this pool has become useless, mined it with 100 vps cores for 60 minutes, only 2 blocks found.

Are other pools more useful?

Mining with 240 cores at beeeeer currently.
