Title: What cryptocurrency are profitable for mining on AWS ?
Post by: eax on October 14, 2017, 09:33:22 AM
Hi

I'm looking for cryptocurrencies I can mine on many Amazon servers (EC2).
Does anyone use these cloud for mining?

Here are the pricing : https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/?nc1=h_ls

Thanks :)

I highly doubt that that would make you any money, as it just isn't powerful enough. The only way to reliably mine bitcoin is with an Antminer or a custom built computer. Also, most cloud mining services are a scam, FYI.

Without using AWS promotions, it's never profitable.
GPU's such as tesla is not appropriate for mining considering its price.

I attempted mining on the "g2.2" instance, but the following error occurred when ccminer was executed and failed.
I tried both Ubuntu 16.04 for OS and CUDA 8 and CUDA 9 for CUDA toolkit, but it was the same result.

Cuda error in func 'keccak 256 _ cpu_init' at line 299: invalid device symbol.

What about CPU mining of XMR? Given how cheap CPU is on AWS, could this be profitable?

This is something I was curious about also, but the problem is CPU mining just isn't profitable, outside of perhaps the scope of running a masternode?

It's only profitable if it's free.  And it's against their TOS.  Don't bother.  AWS mining was a short lived thing of the past.
