Hi everyone.

As I took some time configuring that stuff (yes I know, I'm no good  ::) ); I thought I'll share this for other noobs 8)

So first you have to go to http://www.windowsazure.com/

Select the free trial.

http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/688174STEP1.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=688174STEP1.jpg)

Enter your credit card info (it won't be used unless you authorize it later) to have your 200$ (or 150€) free credits.

When you are done; go to the portal (upright corner, i'm lazy, u won't have a pic  :-* )

In the portal :

1 : Go to virtual machine ---> NEW (downleft corner)

http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/779978NEWVM.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=779978NEWVM.jpg)

2 : Select "compute", then "virtual machine", "quick create", choose a dns name, windows server 2008, and "extralarge core (8core)

http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/135175STEP2.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=135175STEP2.jpg)

You want to create 2 'extralarge" vm and 1 "large" (you can't have more than 20 cores)

3 : Connect to your virtual machines

http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/165362STEP3.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=165362STEP3.jpg)

You will download a .rdp file. You can store it anywhere to have access to it later.

4 : Open your VM using your .rdp file

5 : Download memorycoin wallet using IE (preinstalled) - here is the OP https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=370806.0 if you are browsing this tuto through your vm  ;D

     Unzip and open the QT

6 : If you have sync issues like me, go to "help", "debug window", then add addnode 91.121.8.23:8080 add, type ENTER, and add addnode 137.116.226.189:8080 add

7 : When wallet is synced; enable mining (mine 8 processes for the 2 "extralarge", and 4 processes for the "large")

8 : YOU ARE DONE !


You can also mine every single CPU coin you want, just do as you'd do on your desktop computer.


You need to retrieve your wallet.dat at least before the free trial expires, or anything you've mined solo will be lost.

My english is not that good, but I hope good enough for that tuto.


Btw, if you see something bad in this tutorial, just tell me, i'll update if needed.

Great guide! How much are you getting by the day from this? :)

EDIT: Can i close down the window and it still mines in there? Thankfull for answers.

yes you can, just log back with the rdp file if you wanna check.

Actually only solo mining is available, so i wish you good luck finding a block  ;D

I'll update this guide if a pool and a external miner is available soon.

Im getting 0.69 hashes per sec, can that be correct? Seems awfuly low..

they accept only debit card and that sucks balls  >:( Thnx OP to bad i cant use it  :'(

0.69 + 0.69 + 0.35 = 1.73sh/s (i got about 2.80 with some i7 3770)

keep in mind that it's free.

Understood! Just used to see 2-4000Khs/s, so just got surprised :)

It's not scrypt mining but cpu ;D

Good luck everybody !

Realized it xD.  Thanks for explaining though! And also, thanks for the guide, when i find a block ill donate some to you! :)

Ok, I may make another tutorial to mine protoshares/xpm/qrk.

Tell me if you want it. (It takes some time and i'm busy so I'd make it only if you bump)

I think this is good enough for now, but more guides are always welcome! Dont think we need to see a QRK guide, but xpm and pts would be nice :)

i use azure for pts, is better linux

Sharing is caring :-)

thanks! ;)

Only memorycoin or other wallet are allowed?

You obviously can do what you want with your VM. For other currencies you will need an external miner and a pool.

Just wanted to add that you need to retrieve your wallet.dat at least before the free trial expires, or anything you've mined solo will be lost.

.b

+1 ;)

Can you make tutorial for Bernankoin (BEK) and let me know? 

Because BEK has good future and at present it have very low Dff.

+1

lol.

no i won't do that sorry ;D

How long does the $200 last with the 2 XL and one L.  5 days or so?

Guess it's better to get the maximum hashrate as early as possible while difficulty is lower, right?

I think it will last something like 20-25 days with 20 cores.

I'll make moar tutorial later; i just received my new batch of 280x; I will have my week end busy. Hope that I got some spare time  ;D

Any donation are welcome for motivation (0 atm :'( )

If I choose A7 with 56 GB of RAM and 8 cores, does it work?

How much credit scale every hour?

Useless because you don't need that much RAM.

It will works but last less longer for same results.

U want those 20 cores to run full speed, just follow the tutorial and you'll have the more hashrate for the money (using windows)

ok! So I should make an extra large! ;)

As the credit lasts for about 25 days?

as i said in OP, make 2 X extra large and 1 large. or 5 large, as u want.

No chococoin address for tips?

OBVIOUSLY I HAVE GOOD CHOCOCOIN ADRESS : 7GfkLzxbtN42Rt4CB5eUACcfs5K9jF1HJN

edit (can't sync. Any nodes ?)

any tips are welcome

thanks  ;D

btw dunno if i'll have time for linux tuts this week end but it should come befor xmas

tipped

It must be hard to solo mine by now.  I'd only pool mine.

Great Tutorial...  If I hit a block, I will send some MMC...   ;D

Guys, as an update, after following the above tutorial and having the 3 cloud comps running for a day, it eats about $7/day.  So for $200 free, that's pretty darn good!!!  Cheers!   ;D
