Clearly targeting CPU, so I guess it may have worked in the past but not be worth it nowadays ?

re: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=20538.0

As with instances in the cloud wouldn't you be using CPU rather than graphic cards with such a PHP script ?
Looking into it now.

Very clarifying and thorough, thanks. I guess the business of videocards- or dedicated-asics- in-the-cloud remains to be created :-)

Hi all

Relative newbie on this forum, but interested in Bitcoin for over a year, and in ecurrencies for 10 ;-)
I was interested given my line of work in trying experiments in the cloud, but seem to have found out that it's not worth it on Amazon.
Simple newbie question then, as Google Compute Engine is now much more accessible (announced at Google I/O), I was wondering if that would let someone mine on such remote tools ?
Could that be a game changer ?
