Skip to content Note: CPU mining is extrememly inefficient I was mining an an 8 core machine for 3 days and didn’t mine a block, but it is chance based so your results may vary.Either get a machine with a GPU, or think about purchasing mining power from a provider.See my previous blog post about how I purchased mining contracts from a dedicated provider.If you have an Azure account and want to experiment with spinning up a VM to do some CPU mining, here are the instructions to go through.It is made complicated due to the Ubuntu VM images only creating disks of 30GB which isn’t large enough to hold the Ethereum blockchain.There are 4 major steps: Prestep – Prepare a wallet to mine into.Create a new Ubuntu VM on Azure.Configure a 2nd hard drive.Move /home to the new hard drive.Install and run geth.Prestep – Prepare a wallet to mine into It is more convenient to have your miner send any mined Eth to a central wallet that you control.The easiest way is to use the desktop Mist wallet /ethereum/mist/releases Run it, let it sync to the network (may take a few hours).

You can let it sync while you set up your Linux VM After it has finally synced, create a new account.Note the unique code for later.We will tell our miner to put all mined ether into that wallet.Create a Linux VM in Azure Create a new Ubuntu linux VM.You will want to pick a VM size with at least at least 2 cores (otherwise all your time will be spent importing blocks instead of mining).To make it easy to connect via SSH later, give your VM a friendly hostname Connect / Install helpful tools (optional) / Open putty and connect Open a 2nd instance of Putty so you can monitor CPU while working install htop Run htop Configure a 2nd hard drive The Ubuntu image creates a VM with a 30GB hard disk.The issue with this, is that the Ethereum blockchain itself is over 30GB and so the disk will run out of space before you sync.You need to attach a 2nd hard drive, configure the system to move /home to the 2nd disk./en-us/documentation/articles/virtual-machines-linux-how-to-attach-disk/ In the portal attach a new disk.

The name is unimportant.Make it at least 200GB.You will only be charged blob storage for the space you fill up.run fdisk on sdc.You can just accept the defaults by pressing Enter Format the new partition this will now show our new drive is partitioned and ready to use!Temporarily mount it to /datadrive Get the UUID (can copy in putty simply by selecting text with mouse.Auto copies to clipboard) Add it to the filesystem so that it is always mounted at startup add in your disk in the below format UUID=????????/datadrive ext4 defaults 0 2 e.g.UUID=385ae56e-cc0d-4d6a-9130-70458e7c57b7 /datadrive ext4 defaults 0 2 Ctrl+x to quit.Y to save Try unmounting and remounting to confirm it is all okay Make the drive writeable Can confirm that your /datadrive is as large as you made it earlier.Should be /datadrive I would reboot now to make sure the system comes back up and you haven’t broken anything.Better to do now with a fresh machine than later Move /home to 2nd drive /community/Partitioning/Home/Moving duplicate files from /home to /datadrive change /datadrive to /home Rename the old /home, and prepare an empty directory ready for fstab to mount to Make sure it all works by rebooting Install and run Geth!!

Finally the reason we are here.ethereum collapseYou can easily install by adding in the repository into apt-get and installing from there /ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Installation-Instructions-for-Ubuntu Install geth Run geth.bitcoin dari hpReplace the ether address with your wallet I prefer to run geth via screen.bitcoin paypal verkaufenThat way if putty disconnects it will still continue to run on the server.aud bitcoin walletTip: If putty disconnects, you can reconnect by using Here is a screenshot of me running 2 instances of Putty.bitcoin cuda nvidia
