ok, it works fine with a ubuntu on c3.2xlarge instance running yam-yvg1900-M7i-linux64-generic

I just had to use the m=1024 parameter (m=2048 caused miner to be killed, because of lack of memory)

seems to stabilize on 165 CPM

concerning the earnings, I still have some doubts : the miner seems to submit around 17share value/h, which makes less than 0.004 pts/h (0.08$/h) to be compared with the hourly price of the c3.2xlarge instance...

am I calculating something wrong ?

no, it just isn't profitable.  but that doesnt stop people from wasting money

I'm seeing them under Ubuntu Server 12.04.3 LTS for HVM Instances in N. Virginia at the moment. Look in compute optimized.
It's very possible it will work with the smaller machines....give it a try. You might have to experiment with the -m (memory size per thread in megabytes) parameter.

At this time, no cc2.8xlarge offered in N. Virginia nor in other locations :-(

Would it be possible to have a the same kind of nice work through document for a c3.4xlarge size ?

Very cool...found it in N. Virginia. Not available on the Asian/Far East instances I usually use.
Still had to use 1024 instead of 2014.
Seriously, you could be a little more detailed in your walk through  :P

Seriously.  Follow the instructions.  It works and there is a HVM instance for 12.04 on cc2.8xlarge:

Amazon does not offer the cc2.8xlarge with  Ubuntu Server 12.04.3 LTS  so I think therein lies the problem. I will try with Amazon Linux AMI (HVM) 2013.09.2 and
see if that works. That is the only instance I see that offers the cc2.8xlarge.


Ok....I used the Linux AMI (HVM) and got a little further....you have to login with: ec2-user

As soon as it starts it gets killed...

Ok....changed it to 1024 instaed of 2048 and we're mining. Will attempt further fine tuning...... :D

Another tip...Use screen to detach your mining session so it can continue to mine if your computer shuts down for any reason.

Type "screen" at beginning of session then setup miner. After miner is running press, control-A then control-D. This will detach your screen session but leave your
processes running.

To bring back your miner type "screen -r". This will resume your session.

Anyone successfully running  yam-yvg1900-M7i on an Amazon instance?

Please update as Op's method does not seem to work.

It will work but you said you're not using cc2.8xlarge which means your using a different cpu so probably will use a different instruction set

Follow the instructions.  I've just followed them myself to the letter and can confirm it works fine

the 100$ amazon credit no longer exists, it redirects you to amazon aws main page now.
If I helped you and want to show your appreciation donate any amount:

Wasn't available...used c3.2large with all different command line options....same thing.
It's supposed to be under compute optimized?

I've tried core2 and generic with 13.10 and get boost errors....been trying this for awhile...lol

That's strange.  Did you take out the cc2.8xlarge server?
