you need to do a spot request and limit it to 0.27, otherwise you agree to pay whatever they charge...
I panicked and terminated all my spot instances, I realised there are charges for data transfer + other fees too even though I limited it to $0.30 Meanwhile, Im waiting for the bill to come up (until now), so I can verify the bills Data charges are usually much lower than spot. Hampuz, you ran regular Instances, not Spot. Those cost 2.4 per hour each ... Oh, Sweet. Haha this just became very not awesome. You freaked me out. Lesson learnt I guess, the price difference is 10 times. Now you understand my fear, AWS is too complicated for most of us noobs |

How much did you put for the max price

How many instances are u running? 700 shares per hour for each instance or all instances?
Running 20instances. Not getting 700shares per hour, but 750+ coll/instance/m. Averaging about 185shares/hour so a total of around 3600shares/hour I have been running 5 instances with same averages for almost 24 hours and only got 4 pts, with the credits left i would probably only get 10 pts in total, dont tell me ypool is a pplns pool? I totally forgot to check that I think its PPS payments.. Anyways, has something come up on your billing? Since mine now says I owe $300dollars, something must have gone terribly wrong here.. Check this out: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud running Linux/UNIX $2.400 per Cluster Compute Eight Extra Large Instance (cc2.8xlarge) instance-hour (or partial hour) 172 Hrs $412.80 MRK_11_2013_IntelPowerof60 0 ($100.00) Total: $312.80 Holy shit, did you check the zones ur instances are in? How long have you been mining? |

All of my instances is running at a minimum of 750. I see alot of posts here saying theirs are around 400-500, Have i gotten it all wrong or is it something else?
Anyways im making about 1 PTS/Hour, Pretty good i think since 20 x 0.253 = ~ $5 and with PTS being just around $8 its almost a profit of $3 / hour. So might just continue this until difficulty goes up too much!
Thanks for the guide!

This works for me. I cannot seem to get the cronjob to run at reboot, and I'm not able to replicate the first instance to reproduce it 19 times (so that they will all run automatically upon replication). I'm very new to all of this. However, I resolved these problems by writing the commands as a script when the instance is created. I put this script in the "User Data" field of the Instance details in the Amazon control panel when creating an instance. When each instance is populated, it executes the "User Data" script automatically and each time - so getting the cron job to work, etc, doesn't matter anymore. #! /bin/bash
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/vfzpxjk0wexu82b/jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7ff-linux64-core2.tgz
tar zxvf jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7ff-linux64-core2.tgz
cd jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7ff-linux64-core2
cd linux64-core2-1024M
./jhprotominer -O ypool.net -u username -p password -t 32 -A the -A flag also produces a speed boost for me (ties each thread to the core). I also had success with upping the RAM to 2048 and doing a -t of 29 (otherwise RAM would exceed what the instance allowed and would then crash). Both of these produced speed improvements over the standard parameters in the original post. I suspect if you could run two instances of jhprotominer, one with 29 threads and 2048MB ram, the other with 2 threads at 512MB would get highest production while staying within the upper limit of 60.5GB usage for the instance (512MB mining thread is as ideal as 1GB in a crunch). My share value per hour on ypool for each miner stays between 170 and 200 shares per hour. I haven't checked the collisions/minute recently, but they were in the mid and upper 400s, peaking at low 500s. Its marginally profitable for me at current difficulty. *edit* a BIG thanks to OP. Great tutorial and execution and idea. Thanks! Mind sharing the 2gb ram config? |

I just made my account as it says in the guide but in my status, it says price-too-low. I have placed max price as 0.253
Any ideas ?
Try and take it up to 0.255 or something like that, i did it instantly since people here said there were long waiting times when putting .253, so try that and come back if it did not help. -Hampuz Just put it at $0.3 ++ , you will have priority , but as everyone pays the same spot pricing, you will most probably get billed $0.253 every hour like everyone else, the maximum price is just the price that they will terminate your instance if the current spot price is higher. You will never pay more then your max price, and most probably you will always pay $0.25 + |

what type of OS should I be choosing in AWS ? It seems quite complex
Fyi there is another related thread with much more details  Its in the alt forum first page, sorry OP for derailing |

Well spot instances are actually excess capacity, therefore your mileage may vary, wait a few hours for the shares per hour to stabilize, im getting about 180+ on each of my 5 instances
Do you use the cc2 instance that he recommended in the guide? Yup, why? Should i be getting more shares per hour? |

Is anyone able to get ptsminer to work? For me it segfaults on AVX instructions despite I'm on c3.8xlarge which Amazon says is AVX supported and /proc/cpuinfo says avx is supported.
Try to use cc2.8xlarge ,c3 is much for expensive yet provide only a 25 percent rough performance increase |

Lets say I do not create 20 instances and let them run for 19 hours, how will I know the charges? Will they appear in billing when instance is terminated, or do I have to wait until the end of the month? Is there any way to see current charges, as in do spot instances have the same billing cycles as normal instances? Wouldnt it be too late as I wont know when credits are used?
they show up id bill details after a few hours. You have to expand the list to see credit applied  So i have to actually terminate them for the bill to appear in a few hours time? Because my instances have been running for 12hours and billing still says $0 and credits still $100 |
