I want to experiment mining new X11 coins with Amazon EC2 on Windows VMs.

What miner do I have to choose for X11 coins? a) for cpu instances and b) for gpu instances?

Pool for solo mining is also localhost?

Thanks for any help Smiley

PS: Please no comments why my idea is stupid. If you want to answer, just answer my question. Thank you Smiley

Unless you've stolen the amazon account, you will be paying for your VM much more than you'll be getting out from mining.

1-core VM's give you 0.07$/day at _best_. That's 2.17$/month. While the VM costs $5/month. You're basically throwing money away.
