Title: Slow PrimeCoin mining on Amazon EC2 Instances? Post by: Vorksholk on July 07, 2013, 11:21:41 PM Hello! I got a $0.50/hour high-CPU EC2 instance (XL, which supposedly has 8 cores, all of Intel Xeon E5-2650 style. The max PPS I have seen is 30. It has been running over an hour. My desktop i5-2500k is doing much better. Any ideas? :(

Title: Re: Slow PrimeCoin mining on Amazon EC2 Instances? Post by: Vorksholk on July 09, 2013, 05:01:16 PM Fuck you and your EC2 instance. Use a regular system like everyone else. Yeah, I have it running on a ton of other hardware too. EC2 just seemed like a nice system to mine this with. Entropy is too low, and I haven't tried getting direct access to the hardware for better random number generation with something like rngd. Maybe this afternoon. :) Title: Re: Slow PrimeCoin mining on Amazon EC2 Instances? Post by: nmersulypnem on July 09, 2013, 06:52:39 PM Hello!

Botnets and Amazon instances is 90% of this coin. Title: Re: Slow PrimeCoin mining on Amazon EC2 Instances? Post by: tacotime on July 09, 2013, 07:35:53 PM Fuck you and your EC2 instance.

If you shit blood when you laugh, it's time to see a doctor, mate. EDIT: And it's not really botnet mineable until someone makes a standalone CPU miner, dipshit. Not true, there is a script here for you to run the daemon with that would work fine for a botnet. It automatically sends all mined funds to your address https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=251850.msg2690895#msg2690895 Title: Re: Slow PrimeCoin mining on Amazon EC2 Instances? Post by: mr_random on July 09, 2013, 10:26:31 PM It's not clear yet whether paying those hourly prices to mine the coins is even profitable.
