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

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"

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!
Thank you, but this is against the Supplemental Terms and Conditions For Google Cloud Platform Free Trial.
"2.2 Customer may not use the Services to engage in mining cryptocurrency"
https://cloud.google.com/terms/free-trial/
If Google find, as you mining in trial account, you just loss your account. Maybe find that in the same day or after some days mining, so you don't loss anything, you can try.
does that mean if i pay i can mine crypto?
Yes! But it's not worth the price.
ohhh 35 days 99,34% CPU :p
Haha, thats how I got into crypto.
I was mining DOGE on a Microsoft Azure test account.
And its still available, they give you 170€ credit for a try!
https://azure.microsoft.com
how to get azure free trial, can you tell me?
I created a guide that walks you through setting up a free Azure accoount and setting up your miner
https://steemit.com/mining/@cloh76/guide-steem-mining-for-free-using-microsoft-azure
Thank you im going to try this and check back
Thank you for your info.
If I have another miner is mining@home, what the witness and private key should I fill in here?
(multiple miners problem)
What to do after the 7/27 hard fork ?
Hi, question.....I've running a server... but i want add another one.... Can I use the same miner name and the same WIF PRIVATE KEY ? Or I must create another new ?
Id recommend setting up a separate miner
Remove the leading "/" in
cd /programs/steemd
The "/programs" directory does not exist.
Warning! mining STEEM is not possible anymore.
Save your time.
