Hi,
I will try explain how to start mining on Google Cloud for free on 2 month with 8 CPU core. If you are new user of Google Cloud Platform, you get free trial 300$ on 2 months.
Setp 1.
Go to: https://cloud.google.com/
Click on "TRY IT FREE", then fill all boxes and add a Credit or Debit card.
Then click left-up corner, and you will see menu, next click on "Compute Engine", next "Create Instance". Then you should chose Machine Type and select on last one option
Change Boot disk to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and click create.
Back to VM Instances and wait about 2-3 minutes till you will see.
When Instance-1 will appear click on SSH>Open in browser, next you will connected with you VPS and put that command into terminal.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libboost-all-dev automake libdb++-dev libssl-dev git cmake
git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem
Then you you have to install libboost1.58
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add that line somewhere
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu wily main universe
Then type ctrl+o>enter>ctrl-z, now you saved and exit nano. Then
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libboost1.58-all-dev
cd steem
git submodule update --init --recursive
cmake .
make
Wait about 10 minutes after the make command.
cd /programs/steemd
./steemd --rpc-endpoint --seed-node="seed.steemed.net:2001" --seed-node="52.74.152.79:2001"
start a new terminal window and type
cd steem/programs/cli_wallet
it's should look like
Type in new terminal
./cli_wallet
set_password "YOUR PASSWORD"
unlock "YOUR PASSWORD"
suggest_brain_key
You will get your WIF KEY to start mining
{
"brain_priv_key": "OUTSPINUPRISER WAYFARE COLORIN ANTHILL CHARMEL VELVET AIRILY PSOAS BELASH HANAPER BUS RECARVE EULOGIC WHAMPLE LYCOPIN ",
"wif_priv_key": "5KTDx2YX7UZR7kwBLN29eDnyAiptczg3r5yfRPB2odV4jtUtQE2",
"pub_key": "STM7U7ofLpR3NnxJmV2Ya5zvfuyek4MmcoWZZVxbYSy9QYW4pMpyS"
}
Then import your key
import_key 5KTDx2YX7UZR7kwBLN29eDnyAiptczg3r5yfRPB2odV4jtUtQE2
ctrl+c
nano steem/programs/steemd/witness_node_data_dir/config.ini
Add line in config.ini
# P2P nodes to connect to on startup (may specify multiple times)
seed-node = seed.steemed.net:2001
seed-node = seed.steemed.com:2001
seed-node = 52.74.152.79:2001
seed-node = 45.32.186.90:1779
seed-node = 45.32.186.90:1781
seed-node = 192.99.4.226:2001
seed-node = 46.252.27.1:1337
seed-node = 81.89.101.133:2001
seed-node = 52.4.250.181:39705
seed-node = 85.214.65.220:2001
# name of witness controlled by this node (e.g. initwitness )
witness = "YOUR STEEMIT LOGIN"
# name of miner and its private key (e.g. ["account","WIF PRIVATE KEY"] )
miner = ["YOUR STEEMIT LOGIN","5KTDx2YX7UZR7kwBLN29eDnyAiptczg3r5yfRPB2odV4jtUtQE2"]
# Number of threads to use for proof of work mining
mining-threads = 4
ctrl+o>enter>ctrl+z and close terminal, go back to the first terminal type ctrl+c and type
./steemd --rpc-endpoint
Right now you will catching block
after that you start mining.
Happy miming!
