Start one of the smallest droplets available with Debian 7.0 (This can be resized later, but you get charged full rate at all times your droplets are in existence, so it's best to keep them small until you're mining.)

Connect to your droplet through Putty or any other SSH client, now you want to prepare the server for mining...
Please note, all commands here can simply be copied and pasted by simply right clicking in the Putty window and pressing enter. It's safest to only do one line at a time unless you're sure what you're doing.

Use Putty to create a new user and add to the sudoers group, as below.
Change to your new user by using

Install dependencies


Compile/install Riecoin

...and create the conf file
Press ctrl+X to exit once you've pasted or typed the config details in.
Example config:


Compile/install Miner

ALL DONE SETTING UP! Now you just have to wait for Riecoin to actually be released and compile it and the miner! Have fun guys~


Run Riecoin:

Then start the miner
Username and password should be what you set in the conf!!! (I'm not sure if this command is correct for starting Riecoin cpuminer...)

Please point out any mistakes I might have made.

PS. To save your credit, remember to
1) shutdown your droplet from ssh using 2) take a snapshot of your droplet from your Digitalocean droplet settings panel
3) delete your droplet!

Now you can recreate this droplet, with all the same data and users as before when you want to start mining (I suggest using 2 cores AT LEAST. There is a limit of 5 droplets at a time).
Be aware that simply turning off your droplet doesn't stop the cost from running up.
