How many pts/hour does this make? For how many hours?

A $200 free credit isn't free. It's going to be worth $200 if it turns out you need a cloud computing for a server or something. So as not to lose money, evaluating your probability of needing cloud and expected time of that event is needed.

You are charged the same fee as if you were renting by the hour, it is just deducted out of your $200 credit. Once you reach zero they just shut it off so you don't incur extra charges.

It automatically cancels, I ran out of my free trial after about 1.5 weeks.

Thanks for the confirmation.

I think the time period depends on what VM you are using. Windows is more expensive then Linux so obviously less time.

This is great! love free hashing power

also here's a calc for anyone so they don't get boned!

I can only see 8 cores option. But the dashboard says I am using 8 of 20 cores. Will it auto boost to 20 cores? Or I chose the wrong one?

You need to set up more than 1 virtual machine either 5 x 4 core or 2 x 8 and 1 x 4

click the virtual machine option and then press the + at the bottom of the dashboard, it takes a few minutes to get running.

Can't see any options to cancel, it just says 28 days/$200 left on the free subscription and then an option to upgrade to a full subscription.

It does say on the main page no strings, just a free trial.

lol yeah I hear ya.  any details on where it says "how to cancel"

I'm not 100% sure, but people on the ypool chatbox seemed to think they would just cancel your subscription once the $200 ran out and wait for you to upgrade

I will be keeping an eye on it anyway just to make sure it does cancel as they have my CC details.

once you burn through the $200 does it just cancel? or do you havta cancel?

With MSDN?

Without MSDN?

If you have an MSDN subscription you get a $200 per month allowance included. Just found that out :)

Cool will have to check that out. I wonder if it stacks on top of the free trial? so $400 for first month

It made me pick one of the two options. The MSDN option doesn't require a credit a card.
