been trying to figure it out as well...

Some people here are so dead set against Ethereum and its value/significance while it seems to have a better hold in the mainstream then bitcoin ever did. Obviously bitcoin is more recognisable but in terms of actual serious consideration by mainstream global corporations it was never in the position Ethereum is right now (backed by Microsoft, Intel, JP Morgan, Banco santander, Google etc.)

p2.8xlarge

CPU (xmr stak cpu 22 threads...46MB of L3 cache)

840 h/s

GPU

1.9KH/s

so total of 2.740KH/s

less than my previous estimate due to the fact i thought there was a higher L# cache on the p2 instance cpus...there isnt , so cpu performance is similar

p2.16xlarge would be twice that at 5.5KH/s

per cpu/gpu core the performance is almost identical to the g2 instances...(ie grid k520 is just as fast if not faster than a k80 when it comes to cryptonight)

a g2.8xlarge with 32vcpus and 4 grid k520s does 800 or so cpu and 1k GPU (from 4 gpu cores)..

I've only tested g2.8xlarge which gives a combined cpu +gpu of 1.8k or so

I'm guessing the p2.8xlarge would be somewhere near the 3-3.5k mark and p2.16xlarge twice that.

I'll check if there's a preexisting AMI with CUDA set up to launch a spot instance and run a benchmark....(if there isn't I can't be bothered to set it up from scratch ...sorry )

Hello everyone,

I am considering working on a mining pool server and I was wondering what features you like the most in existing mining pools and what features you would like to see but are missing in current pools.

I already have a few ideas of my own but gathering some input from the community is even better.

Cheers

yeah, aws free tier instances are t1.* only (so throttled/burstable)

however, if you have aws credits (i occasionally see people selling them here for around 7-10% their value) you can spin up spot instances of their more powerful instances for cheap

a g2.8xlarge will run at 2kH/s for around 0.5USD/hour ...not profitable unless XMR triples in value but if you get say 1200 $ credits for 100$, you can run 2 instances for almost 2 months to make about 50 XMR (so 600usd at current rates)

the only problem is you can't stack many credit codes together on the same account ...max 4 i think

Long time lurker here... using my first post to say you've done an excellent job
