You're breaking their terms so it's no big surprise that your process keeps getting killed.I'm honestly surprised that you haven't been suspended yet for it.To quote: CPU Usage Every vps comes with a number of CPU cores that client has access to.The said CPU cores are not dedicated to any vps.Client may not use more than 85% of one CPU core per process thread for more than 10 minutes.Client may not use 100% of one CPU core for more than 2 minutes.When CPU abuse is detected by our automatic programs, process will be killed and/or vps stopped/suspended, and the above Resource Abuse policy will be enforced.Find a host that allows cryptocurrency mining, or even better- rent a dedicated server.up vote 0 down vote Indeed you can limit CPU number to use with -t option.You can get your allowed CPU core number by the command $ cat /proc/cpuinfo You will see core0, core1, core2 ...So with max number core n it means you have n+1 cores dedicated to you.On the other hand you can take the command in an infinite while loop for start over and over again even if you are offline.

The command is: $ while(:); do ./minerd ; done But as Erica stated (and I stopped mining in my VPS immediately after I read her comment) it's really not a good idea.Up to now I had one VPS reboot and services shut down but I thought it was because of some other reason.I hope they won't punish me after I stopped running the miner.So thank you Erica for your warning.You saved my server and possibly a lot of others.Your Answer Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email discard By posting your answer, you agree to the privacy policy and terms of service.Not the answer you're looking for?Browse other questions tagged litecoin server linux ubuntu scrypt or ask your own question.This guide is going to show you how to build an Ethereum Mining rig yourself which has two main steps - choosing and sourcing your equipment and then putting it together!Depending on times its probably going to take you a week or so to get all the pieces and then another half a day fiddling with configurations etc. Its the same as building your own computer normally but with a few extra considerations that mainly involve which GPU's you pick.
