LOL… I’ve already said that I’m unlucky, and that I’ll see you all next week 
EDIT : Thank-you Peem…
and with that… I cannot make any further new posts, so I’ll just keep editing this one!!
-Try doing it with a 2011 server DeathlessDD
– Well I’m done, 203 million (39) + On to the next step
You are not unlucky! You are lucky … because you have us 
So I ran an identity it didnt take long at all.
About 30mins
So there is a bit of a misconception with this highest difficulty so far indicator. It does not indicate any progress. Each of those 80 million keys is an individual attempt to find one with a difficulty high enough and so far, they’ve all failed. You found a key with difficulty 35… that’s almost like a tease. You got so close, but it’s ultimately useless. The chance of you getting one on your first attempt is exactly as high as on your 100 millionth attempt.
This is also why @deathlessdd seems to have found a key with difficulty 39. When you do find a key of at least diff 36, there is a 1/2 chance it’s 36, 1/4 for 37, 1/8 for 38, 1/16 for 39 etc.
Higher difficulty keys aren’t any better though, as long as they are at least 36.
Because of this inherently random chance process. Any time indications from others are essentially meaningless. You could get one in minutes and then have to wait for an hour next time.
i3-3240 - key 36 - generation two minutes
you just need to know how to do it;)
hint above @BrightSilence
Well guys, thanks for the many replies, shows of support and down right bragging how quick your CPU’s are 
OK, OK, so far so good however now I a little out of my depth please guys…
https:// docs .storj.io/node/setup/cli/ ← I’m unable to link this because of silly new users / 2 links in a post rule…
Got my auth token, generated an identity and setup port forwarding… whats next? Docker? If so, that forwards me to:
https:// docs .docker.com/engine/install/debian/ <!-- Again, unable to link this
AND here’s the section that I’ve been stuck on since 17:40hrs yesterday… (what’s worse is I couldn’t write anymore replies as I’m a new user and used them all up for the day)
…Nobody answered my previous question about adding my linux user account to the sudoers list, so if I were to type :
sudo command
Then it would then ask for my users password (which isn’t root) and then follow up with
…
user is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported
…
However I tried to use my brain here, rather than proceeding to add my user account to the sudoers list, I simply typed ‘su’ and continued as root.
I got as far as:
sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
when it errors out with the following
…
Package docker-ce is not available
…

I am again, in your capable hands!
Again:
apt update
and only then:
apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-compose-plugin
Good morning Peem, thanks for your prompt reply… Here’s the result…
https://tinypic.host/i/peem.dMpZu
EDIT: I notice I can no long post links to PostImage… WTF guys, who flagged my previous msg and WHY?
not “docker-cd”
only “docker-ce”
Hi @T4LLGUY ,
It looks like the system auto flagged some of your posts but I restored them.
Lmk if you have any other issues.
Thanks!
Ahh brilliant, sorry my typing is often slightly off, thanks again Peem, your help is certainly appreciated.
EDIT : Appreciate that, thank-you also Bre
EDIT: EDIT: OK, so I’ve now got docker installed, and pulled the latest storagenode (as root) but now I need guidance please, this bit looks like a minefield
This?
it’s actually like a minefield …
Holy Moly… (thanks… lol)
EDIT : So my first question, how do I install newuidmap and newgidmap (uidmap) please?
EDIT EDIT : like this? (Yes)
sudo apt-get install uidmap
O.K. that’s in… My non root user has 65536 thingies so we continue…
dbus-user-session was already installed and up to date…
I’ve added kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf
I’ve added fuse-overlayfs with
apt-get install -y fuse-overlayfs
and I’ve added slirp4netns with
apt-get install -y slirp4netns
Then, the system wide docker has been disabled with…
systemctl disable --now docker.service docker.socket
and I’m now attempting to install the rootless setup but it first error’ed that I hadn’t modified kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1 in the correct file.
I had modified /etc/sysctl.conf and not /etc/sysctl.d like it wanted. So I’ve manually created this file 50-rootless.conf located in /etc/sysctl.d however along the way I also encountered an error
…
unable to locate package sysctl
…
and I just wanted to check with you guys if that’s OK or not please? Screenshot(s) attached:
Error - https://i.postimg.cc/KctBy5Vm/problem.jpg
File - https://i.postimg.cc/5yXr6RFK/files.jpg
Am I good to continue or should I add the following?
apt-get install procps
I’m unsure if any of you guys got notified of my previous edit so I’m reposting again here…
I’m still questioning should I add the repo for sysctl as per my previous post?
Either way, this is exactly where I’m stuck now… (Thanks in advance)
You seem to be not following the info still you shouldnt try over complicating the process, You should start from the start and install docker properly. Install Docker Desktop on Ubuntu | Docker Documentation
I’m over complicating the issue?, I’m only following instruction…
(Scroll up and read the thread - Peem fwd’ed ‘Post-installation step for Linux’)
Those instructions are no where if you follow the right instuctions. Not sure where your following it but it really is more complicated then it needs to be. Install Docker Engine on Ubuntu | Docker Documentation
I am all ears, please enlighten me (Docker is up and running, but I’m trying to run it as a non root user)
EDIT : In case you haven’t already realised I know virtually nothing about Linux, when you read the post below you’ll probably know what to do, but I’m afraid I do not… I also do not consider that a helpful comment, and I note yesterday that I ran outta posts (as new users are limited) so I would like to try to get this working today without running out of posts again… Thank-you
EDIT EDIT: I know the basics, and I follow YouTube tutorial videos, I pick up bits and pieces but then I quickly forget them as I have a bad memory caused by brain damage and the loss of two of my friends, thank-you for asking.
Ok thats easy just add a user to the docker group. For example make a user storj,
sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker storj
Log out and log in.
I didnt relize you didnt know anything about linux I saw your running proxmox and running a ubuntu VM so I figured you knew a little something,.
