Title: XPM on Amazon EC2 Post by: qiuness on July 19, 2013, 01:55:51 AM I was wondering if it is still worth using EC2 with Primecoin at the given difficulty.

If you want more chances in a game of luck, get more chances in a game of luck. Title: Re: XPM on Amazon EC2 Post by: qiuness on July 19, 2013, 02:02:52 AM what is the primespersec on 1 EC2 instance if you know by any chance? i want to compare it to a desktop CPU
Title: Re: XPM on Amazon EC2 Post by: TheSpiral on July 19, 2013, 02:07:07 AM what is the primespersec on 1 EC2 instance if you know by any chance? i want to compare it to a desktop CPU Which? There's not "1" EC2.The free one is ~40-50. The paid ones are higher, obviously. Title: Re: XPM on Amazon EC2 Post by: Kyune on July 19, 2013, 02:22:11 AM seems to settle around 2000-2100 PPS on a 4 core, "8 ECU", m1.xlarge using mikaelh hp4.
hp5 is now available, but I don't have data on that. Title: Re: XPM on Amazon EC2 Post by: qiuness on July 19, 2013, 02:25:13 AM so if a 3770k get's primespersec 6300 i`m assuming that is 6300pps, right?
Title: Re: XPM on Amazon EC2 Post by: AstroKev on July 19, 2013, 02:27:03 AM m3.2xlarge --
~/primecoin-0.1.1-hp4/src$ ./primecoind getmininginfo { "blocks" : 63588, "currentblocksize" : 1000, "currentblocktx" : 0, "errors" : "", "generate" : true, "genproclimit" : -1, "primespersec" : 3899, "pooledtx" : 0, "testnet" : false } definitely not worth it. Title: Re: XPM on Amazon EC2 Post by: fenican on July 19, 2013, 02:33:50 AM As a general rule, something might be profitable for a few days on EC2. That was the case with YAC in the initial days.
After that, people are going to spin up 10,000 instances and drive up the difficulty to the point where it is no longer viable |
