HOW TO MINE METISCOIN & CATCOIN

HOW TO CLOUD MINE METISCOIN
I put this tutorial together to show you how to CPU mine for MetisCoin  using a Virtual Private Server service called Digital Ocean  using yPool as our mining pool.
If you follow this guide, you will have successfully created 5 instances using droplets to mine for you.

Lets get Started:
1. You are going to need to create an account at yPool.net
2. Create 5 workers, for example weblogin.worker1, weblogin.worker2 etc. I used D1 thru D5
3. Copy the following to note pad and edit according to your login details. We will be using this information later.
[program:metiscoin]
command=/root/xptminer-linux/xpt -o http://ypool.net -u weblogin.worker1 -p x -t 4
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log
stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log
autorestart=true
Ok now we are ready to create an account with Digital Ocean .
You can find promo codes for up to $10 on retailmenot.com
Make sure you account is funded, I added an additional $20 dollars using paypal to my account. Adding the promocode gave my account a total of $30 dollars credit.
Once you have funded you account you are ready to create some droplets.
Steps to create a droplet.
1. Name your droplet
2. Choose the $5 a month 1 cpu plan
3. Select a region(make sure you use the same region when creating the additional droplets)
4. Select Ubuntu 13.04 x64
5. Click on the Create Droplet tab.
While you are waiting for your first droplet to be created, lets download Putty , to continue you are going to need to login to your droplet via shell access.
Once the droplet is created you should have received an email with your login credentials for your droplet.
Steps for logging in to your droplet:
1. Run Putty
2. Enter your droplet ip address
3. Hit Open
4. Click Yes when Puttys security alert comes up.
5. Enter your login: root
6. Copy the password from your email and in putty Right-Click and press enter(when you right click using putty its the same as using the Paste command)
7. Copy and paste the following 1 line at a time, hitting enter everytime and Yes when asked.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yasm -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix
git clone https://github.com/conicek/xptminer-linux
cd xptminer-linux
make
apt-get install supervisor
mkdir -p /var/log/supervisor
touch /etc/supervisor/conf.d/metiscoin.conf
nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/metiscoin.conf
Now copy and paste the edited information from yPool. Once copied you hold Control+x, then hit ‘y’ and then “Enter”
[program:metiscoin]
command=/root/xptminer-linux/xpt -o http://ypool.net -u weblogin.worker1 -p x -t4
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log
stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/%(program_name)s.log
autorestart=true
Once that file is saved, enter the following:
/etc/init.d/supervisor stop
/etc/init.d/supervisor start
Visit yPool and see if the worker is active in your profile.
You should now be completed with the first Droplet.
Creating Additional Droplets:
To create additional droplets, you are going to need to take a snapshot of the current one. The following will help guide you thru this process.
1. Go back to the Control Panel at Digital Ocean
2. Power Off your Droplet
3. Make a SnapShot of it.
Once you make a snapshot of it, you can now easily create 4 more droplets without having to install all the software. The only thing you need to edit is the pool info.
Creating your additional Droplets: 
1. Name your droplet
2. Choose the $5 a month 1 cpu plan
3. Select a region(make sure you use the same region when creating the additional droplets)
4. Click on My Images and select the snapshot you saved earlier.
5. Click on the Create Droplet button and repeat this process 3 more times.
Commands for editing Configuration files:
Stop Supervisor:
/etc/init.d/supervisor stop
Edit conf file:
nano /etc/supervisor/conf.d/metiscoin.conf
Edit the worker ID, the close the file Ctrl+x Y then Enter
Restart Supervisor:
/etc/init.d/supervisor start
If hope you found this tutorial useful, please tip us and we will keep making more.
