So, (thanks for ThePolo) now we have a (tested) working "animecoin.conf" for those eventually with problems connecting:
Today I have also tested the tutorial by Ratanol (thanks), but It worked with some adaptations from me (see in red what I have done different):
OK here's a quick way to get a few droplets running on digital ocean:
( Instead of Digital Ocean, I have created a (1 year FREE) Amazon AWS EC2 )Currently only the official miner is working, will update when improved version is good to go.
Sign up at
https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=09b6de6e0fc8 ( in my case it was http://aws.amazon.com )Create a droplet:
Set the host name
Select the cheapest $5/mo (or most expensive if you like)
Select "Debian 7.0 x64" which is Debian under the Linux Distributions tab
( I have chosen Ubuntu t2 )Once created, you will receive an email with the IP address, username, and password.
Download putty from here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.htmlEnter the IP address of the server and connect.
Login with the details provided in the email.
Then paste in the following (line by line if you like)
( I had to do it as root, so: )
sudo passwd -l root
sudo su -
( then I have continued with the original tutorial: )
apt-get update
apt-get -y install automake autoconf build-essential bc curl dos2unix fail2ban git haveged
apt-get -y install libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb++-dev libleveldb-dev libminiupnpc-dev libssl-dev m4 nano unzip vim
update-rc.d haveged defaults
service haveged start
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile
git clone https://github.com/Animecointeam/Anime-CPUMiner
cd Anime-CPUMiner/
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make
cp ./minerd /usr/local/bin/
apt-get -y install supervisor
mkdir -p /var/log/supervisor
touch /etc/supervisor/conf.d/anime.conf
exitThen edit the file with:
sudo nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/anime.conf
Paste in the following remembering to change the pool (-o), worker or address (-u) and password (-p)
[program:anime]
command=/usr/local/bin/minerd -a anime -o POOL -u WORKER_USERNAME -p WORKER_PASSWORD
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log
stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log
autorestart=true
Press control-x and save
service supervisor start
This will start the mining. You can then monitor with:
tail -f /var/log/supervisor/anime.log
( As this last part, after the exit, has not worked for me - the miner has not started on its own - I had to use the command: )
screen ./minerd -a anime -o POOL -u WORKER_USERNAME -p WORKER_PASSWORD
( minerd started working all right )Check everything looks ok, then shutdown the droplet:
shutdown now -h
This will terminate the putty session.
( I have done it differently, as I have used the command "screen": I just pressed ++ to leave the screen and )
exit
( to terminate the putty session )
Go back to the control panel on digitalocean, and create a snapshot.
You can then create 4 more droplets from this image. If you have unique worker names, you'll have to login and change them using the nano command above.
Now you have some hashes.
