Title: What coin I can mine in Microsoft Azure cloud?
Post by: superiorus on April 12, 2016, 01:44:15 PM
Hi

I have a Microsoft Azure account with offers me 150$ per month.
What could I mine with this plan?
From what I have read mining Ethereum is not worth now...
What other coins I can mine ?

Thank you

I did the microsoft Azure free trial, I just pointed them all to minergate. downloaded the Minergate console and entered my email, no bat files or CLI needed. I made like 0.02 BTC so not much but it was free.

I understand that.
But the trial could have 30 days, could have a 200$ budget, etc ...

CPU coins would probably be more profitable for you on Azure rather than GPU coins, you can try HODL

I've never used microsoft azure, but it looks like they're partnering with Nvidia:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/videos/azurecon-2015-applications-that-scale-using-gpu-compute/

If their prices are low, it might depend on the type of GPU virtualisation. It might become interesting to mine with the GPU... Not really sure about this tough.

On other cloud platforms, I would certainly point towards CPU mining, but also include the clear warning that CPU mining won't make much coins in the end...

I have not seem widespread availability of the N series instances yet, either they are still private or Microsoft scraped the idea

I'm running my own dedicated box, so i have 0 knowledge about microsoft azure's packages, but since the presentation i found seems to be made in 2015, i think it's possible microsoft might have scraped the idear...

Based on: nothing but the timestamp in the url (so i might be way off) ;)

Ethereum is still worth mining as you get more money Ethereum than your expanses (power, hardware....)
