Title: Litecoin mining on Amazon cluster
Post by: Garr255 on March 01, 2012, 09:57:27 AM
Just for anyone interested, it works! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9542654/ftw.png

I have no idea if it's going to end up being profitable, because the price of litecoin is not even close to stabilizing.
If anyone wants this set up for them, the price is 77 LTC :D

G'day, mates!

Last night while that was set up I had about 50 kh/s coming from one 1 core machine and one 8 core machine. I'm just solo mining right now, with mine and a friend's i7s. Hopefully we solve our first block :D

heh ppl tried this on lc.ozco.in when we first started was fun but not really profitable, and LTC was 0.01 not 0.0015 at the time :)

Now that Reaper is in play, how feasible is it to have a self sustaining mine?

Reaper is the death of litecoin. The trolls over at solidcoin did it intentionally, too. Meh, I'm still using two VPSs I'm renting for 100khash/s. It's fun to get 50 ltc a day :P

Litecoin doesnt have such a bad taste in people's mouths unlike Shitcoin.

GPU = 106 kh/s for 2 Tesla GFX cards, reaper v. 13
CPU = 25 kh/s for 8 threads of Intel Xeon from Scrypt Miner.

Kinda disappointed, to be honest.  :-\

I like this. It gives a fair playing ground for miners with CPUs and GPUs.

Yeah, but at $2 an hour on a good day? I don't think so, and I have yet to find an ATI powered cloud GPU cluster for hire.

I guess you were wrong? Looks like SC is in more deep "shit" than litecoin is.  ;D
