Next Level CPU Mining Arionum ARO on Vultr

Ahoy mateys!

As you know, Arionum ARO is a crypto project I'm really excited about. Here's why:

• CPU mineable
• No premine
• No ICO
• PHP based crypto blockchain for web or app devs to integrate as trustless asset reward system

To take your mining to the next level, you can increase your H/s by CPU mining with virtual private servers (VPS) in the cloud. It seems intimidating to setup at first, but even mining noobs like me can easily deploy cloud servers. I've tried almost all the VPS providers and found Vultr to be the most user friendly and inexpensive. You can sign up here https://www.vultr.com/?ref=7394856

Once you've created an account, getting your first server instance setup is quick and easy.

• Click Servers, then the + sign to deploy new server

• Choose a server location that is nearest to you

• Choose server type Ubuntu 16.04

• Choose server size, I prefer 4 CPU and get ~17 H/s but you may choose to start with 1 CPU to get ~ 4 H/s
  [Avoid size with an X through it, I cannot get to run the miner so don't recommend using]

• Next you'll need to add a startup script to spin up your miner, click + Add New

Add the following script :

#! /bin/bash
set -x #echo on
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk maven git gcc make -y
sudo apt-get install build-essential -y
cd
git clone git://github.com/Programmerdan/arionum-java
cd arionum-java/arionum-miner
git checkout investigate
touch config.cfg
chmod 755 config.cfg
echo "pool
http://aropool.com
4YV7bWw76m4DfzT1NNTjjN9Cq9b41NvVRFh86xNQpj51X6yatw1h6xMttLg7aAb6XsRNuwYLS6yD8CNz6BJNsgg
nproc
enhanced
true
hostname" > config.cfg
mvn clean package
chmod +x build-argon.sh
./build-argon.sh
chmod +x run.sh
sudo apt-get install tmux -y
tmux new-session -d -s my_session './run.sh'

• It should look like this:

[Be sure to replace http://aropool.com with the pool of your choice and replace my wallet address 4YV7bWw76m4DfzT1NNTjjN9Cq9b41NvVRFh86xNQpj51X6yatw1h6xMttLg7aAb6XsRNuwYLS6yD8CNz6BJNsgg with your wallet address]

• Click add script

-Enter a server hostname - this can be anything you like, I do ARO#

• Click Deploy Now to get your miner running

Your VPS miner will start running within minutes.

You can check your H/s by visiting the pool you are mining on and entering your wallet address in the search box under historic shares. Give it 15-30 minutes for your new hashes to show up in historic shares. I recommend the following pools for cloud mining:

http://aropool.com/
http://arionum.rocks/

A big thanks to OvErLoDe from the ARO team for developing the script and teaching me how to mine. He has a great Amazon AWS mining guide in the Bitcointalk ANN thread on page 62 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2710248.1220
