BitShares PTS / Re: Mining Protoshares on EC2 GPU Instances - Question

My answer to #2:

After downloading your private key, it's now time to connect to your server! You need to download PuTTY and PuTTYGen. Links are at the bottom of this post. Open up PuTTYGen. Now, click "Load." Open up your key.pem. Now, click "Save private key." Click "Yes" and chose where you want to save it. Make sure it's the EXACT same name as the key you got from Amazon. Now, open PuTTY. Enter ubuntu@{server's public DNS}. The public DNS can be found in your control panel by clicking on the GPU instance. Then go to SSH, expand it and click Auth. Browse for the key you made in PuTTYGen. Then, click open. You may have to do this a few times. You'll know when it connects when a dialog box appears. It should say "SECURITY BREACH!" but it's not. Click yes. Then, follow the next step!

BitShares PTS / Mining Protoshares on EC2 GPU Instances - Question
« on: February 05, 2014, 06:38:02 pm »
Hey guys. I've been mining PTS for a while now. But, I wanted to try something new. I want to know - step-by-step - how to get an Amazon EC2 GPU Instance running a PTS Miner. I don't want this to benefit myself only. I want the entire community to know how to do this. So, if anyone knows how, let's get started. We'll start at the instance type to choose, and go from there! Make sure you post it as a post below, and I'll give you full credit. Thanks to all wanting to help out. Below are the steps we need to know.

#1 - What GPU instance should we choose? - NOT TAKEN
#1 NOTE: The instance will have Ubuntu installed on it.
#2 - How do you SSH into the Instance? - TAKEN by goosoodude https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2764.msg34476#msg34476
#3 - How do we install the Nvidia Graphics Drivers? - NOT TAKEN
#3.1 - How do we install the necessary components for the miner we will be using? - NOT TAKEN
#4 - Which miner do we download? Also, how do we download it? - NOT TAKEN
#5 - How do we compile the miner? - NOT TAKEN
#6 - How do we get mining? (Pool, GPU selection, other settings) - NOT TAKEN

That should be it. When you post, I'll edit this post with the correct username, and link to that post. Anything with "NOT TAKEN" is up for grabs. Anything with "TAKEN" has already been explained correctly. If not working, we will figure it out!

Thanks again,
- Goo
