Yeah. I've been trying this all day with other sets of instructions. Making new instances each time it errored out after following directions. Lol. And now with this tutorial still running into issues. Lord have mercy.  

 Strfry recommends 2gb of memory and I see you only have 1gb. You are probably getting OOM errors

sudo nano /var/log/syslog 

 Ahhh.. Ok. I'll up the instance to 2 GB. Let me try that and we'll cross our fingers 

 I got it set up @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 !! Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. I haven't messed with console since I was setting up miners quite a few years ago. I appreciate it 

 You're welcome.🙏

Btw I am the chap in the tutorial 😂 

 Yeah. I realized that after watching a little more. Lol.  

 I'm going to break my leg kicking my own ass if that 1GB was the culprit 🤣
