The priced rised over the day.

I switched to other cloud computing services because they are way cheaper.

If you have cloud computing hosts that offer i7-like instances at lower than $0.11/h, I would like to know :)

"Your spot request price is lower than the minimum spot request fulfillment price". Current price says it's .096 though.

Just testing this with jhProtominer on a t1micro instance (remember, testing) but after launch it says:
xpt: Logged in with Sykh.t1micro
Illegal instruction (core dumped)


Does it work on the bigger ones?

Haven't tried with this miner software; but t1.micro are special in some ways; use at least a m1.small to test. Also be sure to use a 64bits OS.
I'll try this miner this evening.

Semms to be true, running fine on my m3.xlarge test.

chmod +x run.sh
nohup ./run.sh &


i had to sudo all this to get it to work, if that helps anyone.

jhprotominer works great on c1.xlarge -

I get 160c/s on 6core i7

5chdn

I only get 80-90 hpm with coyote miner on an 32 core instance cc2.8xlarge...

Also, thanks to whoever sent me a 5 PTS tip, I wasn't actually expecting something!  :D

That was me xhor. I am making an unbelievable amount of money doing this. With my own secrets of course ;-)

Good to hear it's useful!
And if you wish to share a little part of your secrets via pm... ;-)
Anyhow thanks for the tip! I'll be adding more explanations/pictures as I get more tips!

If this was cost effective, why would you share it?

Eheh yes it was very cost effective a few days ago; and I used it.
Now it is still cost effective, but less than before, and I'm switching to other coins.

Why do I look chinese?  ;)
