Cloud Mining Quarkcoin

Hello everyone,
Welcome to my guide for cloud mining quarkcoin. I have previously made guides about cloud mining primecoin, protoshares, and dogecoin. Now I have decided to make a guide about cloud mining quarkcoin, something which I should have done earlier. To start sign up for digital ocean. Not only do they allow you too mine but they also accept paypal which makes things easier. 

If you sign up for digital ocean using my referral code and spend $10 then I'll pay you $4 via. paypal or quarkcoin, the choice is yours! Sign up here: https://www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=3a96071d7d5f

After that create your own droplet. Select Debian 7.0 x64 as your OS. After that download and open Putty. Use the IP address that they email you. Your username will be root and the password will be whatever is emailed to you. After you are logged in, enter these commands to setup your mining. 

Remember first you need to sign up for an automatic payout pool. p2pool.org, has automatic payouts. Here are some choices: 

Quark P2Pool: http://p2pool.org:8372

SecureCoin P2Pool: http://p2pool.org:9372


When you have signed up enter these commands into Putty:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install automake autoconf build-essential bc curl dos2unix fail2ban git haveged 

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb++-dev libleveldb-dev libminiupnpc-dev libssl-dev m4 nano unzip vim -y

sudo update-rc.d haveged defaults

sudo service haveged start

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16

sudo mkswap /swapfile

sudo swapon /swapfile



git clone http://github.com/uncle-bob/quarkcoin-cpuminer.git

cd ~/quarkcoin-cpuminer

./autogen.sh

./configure CFLAGS="-O2"

make

sudo cp ./minerd /usr/local/bin/



apt-get install supervisor

mkdir -p /var/log/supervisor

touch /etc/supervisor/conf.d/quark.conf

nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/quark.conf


You can copy and enter the following block all in once. Once copied hit Control-X then hit 'y' and then hit 'enter'.

Then you need to enter the following strings in order to start mining.
command=/root/quarkcoin-cpuminer/minerd -a quark -o XXX_POOL_ADDRESS_HERE_XXX -u XXX_WALLET_ADDRESS_HERE_XXX -p x

stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log

stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log

autorestart=true


Then enter the following code to auto open your miner in case the server resets.
/etc/init.d/supervisor stop

/etc/init.d/supervisor start



The following code is how you view the states of your miner.
tail -f /var/log/supervisor/quark.log

You should now be good to go and mining. You can see how things are running by entering this:
tail -f /var/log/supervisor/quark.log

That's all. Let me know if you have any questions.
