I Think this might be a bait and switch post..  At the end of his write up he says email any questions to a sales email address..


I dont think it would be cheap to setup 10 instances of this..

I tried to do this last Oct and it was VERY expensive..  But I will admit, I did not really know what I was doing..

But its odd to me he did not tell us the price(Bait and switch to get our Email addresses so they can spam us is my guess)

It is very expensive and "never" profitable. GPUs on Amazon are $3000+ Nvidia Tesla devices, and rented for high-end computations

For CPU coins, otoh, the old AMD machines with Linux AMI can be nice, when requesting spot instances. Those cc2x8large with 32 cores costed $0.25 / hour and gave 700+ Kh/s on Heavycoin, which was very respectable before GPU mining came along.
