mmcpool.com - CLOUD MINING GUIDE!

[itsik78]

Hoping someone can comment on this, just wonder if it is unusual activity or to be expected.  Thanks.

I think you better ask the pool operators that. I don't remember seeing these spikes.
They all have threads in this forum so you can contact the one you're using with this question. Would be more efficient.

[badbonez]

Is this normal? 

I am using a Linux Datasoft Cloud server and with this mmcminer I am getting these traffic spikes, which gets me spammed with emails from the server company.  It looks like over 10mb coming into my linux server.  Is that expected?  Or is there some problem with the server.  Thanks!

What is happening with the pool it is taking so well to generate blocks?

Was so fast before and stopped. Does anybody know?

GPU mining killed it.
You can see the HPM of the 2 pools and compare:
http://mmcpool.com/en
http://mmc.1gh.com/
Also, it was the only stable pool for a while so most people mined there.

http://mmcpool.com/en/ bestest pool ever 

I have 4 VPS 8 cores each and 60GB of ram. AMD FX 4.8gh
Was going well, but enters the GPU and discouraged. I'll put them to PTS that is better. 
My Rig is for LTC and will not change to MMC.

[hashbit]

I'm wondering.
Is it really worth to mine on a platform like EC2? I've just configured a system, but I think the costs are higher than the current profit with MMC. Am I right?

Have you consulted the mining calculator and this hardware comparison?  There are a couple of aws instances showing reported hash rates.  I doubt it is profitable based on the current price but it might be worth investing some hours into it in case the price goes up.

[kapselpilot]

Hey itsik78, thanks for the write up! I tried the input you provided for EC2 and it worked perfectly. Would you write up another one for GPU mining? I'm not sure how to deal with setting up nvidia drivers from the command prompt. I was hoping to test returns using g2.2xlarge spot instances with either linux or windows. Thank you!

[Banch]

Just tested this guide and it worked perfectly.

First I did this on Digital Ocean 2core server. I chose Ubuntu 13.10 and the guide worked without no problems. Getting 0.246hash/min with Digital Ocean 2-core cloud.

Then I thought to try out Dell Cloud trial and started standard.large instance with 4 cores and Ubuntu 13.04 but then the guide did not work out and could not figure what went wrong. Then made a new instance with Debian Wheezy 7.1 Server and the guide worked again perfectly. Starting mining here and I found out that this 4core instance hashed 0.462hashes/min which is double what digital ocean does but shouldnt AES-NI support boost the speed?

followed guild in this thread, any idea?

Make sure you don't have 2 instances running... This will cause the segmentation fault.
Another reason would be a very low memory machine (less than 1gb).

[caliboy]

i tried joyent and i got banned! I think they watch over cpu usage. Because i cant find any mistake what i done!

[badbonez]

So, guys, can you write some manual for mining in http://joyent.com?
They have free $130 for trial. I didn't get how to login in the instance via ssh (using Cygwin). It asks some password that I dont know.

When you create an instance, you need to create a private key.  Download puttygen.exe to creat a public key and use that in Putty.

As for loading the miner, my guide three posts up should work as long as you select Unbutu as your OS.

Note that the $130 credit is $65 per month for two months.

Everything is being rejected?

Thanks.

[badbonez]

So here's what I've done to get this working on Digital Ocean, Windows Azure and Joyent servers:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix libboost-all-dev autoconf libcurl4-openssl-dev

git clone https://github.com/glitchman/mmcminer

cd mmcminer

sudo apt-get install automake libcurl4-gnutls-dev

./autogen.sh

./configure CFLAGS="-O3"

make

./minerd --url http://work.mmcpool.com --user MLzSj31GVDqYLstZjFFqoGjafhiGz5FkRo --threads 8


Change the address to your address and the threads to the number of threads you are using.

Windows Azure 8 CPU = ~.9 h/m
Digital Ocean 8 CPU = ~ .4 h/m
Joyent 8 CPU = ~ 2 h/m

Funny thing though, the Digital Ocean 2 CPU droplet gets almost .3 h/m - and at .003/hr, that's your best value long term.  Although everything has been rejected so far, so maybe it's not such a good deal.

NOTE:  I am a linux noob, really have no idea what I'm doing.  I just tried different suggestions from other posters in this thread and found a sequence that works.  YMMV.

[itsik78]

I tried doing this but doesn't work, I checked the cpu usage and it seems to go to a 100% then to 0 and a few minutes later the same thing.

How do I delete everything and just install it manually?

Try looking into the nohup.out file (less nohup.out + shift+f) to see what's going on.
Don't use Micro instances or very low memory ones

Ubuntu 13.10 x64........DigitalOcean Droplet

After I pasted above code (with appropriate core values) and pressed Enter after all done, I am getting following error:

"/usr/local/mmcminer# nohup: ignoring input and appending output to ‘nohup.out’"

then it just stops there and if I press any key, it goes back to command prompt.

I am new to Linux...........help will be appreciated.

EDIT:
If I run directly run minerd........then I am getting following error:

"[05:52:45] 2 miner threads started, using MMC Momentum Proof-of-Work algorithm.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

Sorry, I should've been clearer.
When you run the last line, it runs the miner in the background.
You can see the progress in the nohup.out file.
Use "

Code: [Select]

less nohup.out" then press shift+f to watch the live progress.

Still getting Segmentation fault (core dumped) error:

"./minerd --url http://work.mmcpool.com --user <addresshere> --threads 2
./run.sh: line 2: 21546 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "

You probably have 2 instances of the miner running, or maybe you chose a low memory machine. I don't know how much memory this miner needs, it could be more than 1GB.

Just performed Shutdown/Reset.........now its working. I think you are right that there were 2 instances.

Right now I am on 2 Core droplet....getting only 0.266 hpm.....is it normal? I plan to upgrade it.

Thank you,  jpeggt!
I'll try to do what you've said.

[jpeggt]

That didn't help. What instanse did you choose?

I've got it to run on the free t1.micro instance (added a 1GB volume as swap) it useless for mining but it was working. I've also got it running on large instances just fine.

What I did (based off the original instructions from itsik78)
Created the instance, selecting Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit and everything else at defaults.

If your getting that far I assume you can ssh into the machine fine.

once connected I entered this, and only this and it will run:

Code: [Select]

mkdir mmcpool
cd mmcpool
sudo apt-get install -y make gcc m4 automake libevent-dev zlibc zlib1g-dev libjansson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev git autoconf g++
git clone https://github.com/glitchman/mmcminer
cd mmcminer
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make
./minerd --url http://work.mmcpool.com --user [yourWalletAddress] --threads [number]
If that works you can then create a run.sh file like the previous instructions say and either use nohup or personally I prefer to use tmux.

to use tmux just type tmux, you will then enter a tmux session, you can run the "run.sh" command, then hit CTRL+B then "d" to exit the session, everything inside will still be running once you disconnect from ssh. To get back into your tmux session type "tmux attach"

just got it working on Digital Ocean,

./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make
./minerd --url http://work.mmcpool.com --user MBkvFREysoX9Fc8nbhHy9bSiNawhmgChB2 --threads 8

Will not work without adding:
sudo apt-get install automake libcurl4-gnutls-dev
because of errors with ./autogen.sh

Also I changed instanse to m3x2 and now miner works but it seems to me rather strange - too many "Rejected".
Don't you know why?
