Would be super if we could at least get some better performance for Maxwell (the 750ti's), since that would not directly interfere with cloud mining operations... Any thoughts Christian?

actually the performance for the maxwell are rather good, may-be not Christian's good, but still. This is rather the kepler which underperformed (gtx780ti), but I must admit, it might not easy to fix that without having one...

may-be using the shared memory mechanism as used in the previous groestl could help performance wise (? just brainstorming...)

The systems would have nvidia grid but super locked down. I am sure Amazon would have realised the flaw if they didnt

I am still mystified by the gpu instance with " 32 cores and 244GB memory". What would that one be?

The Nvidia Grid GPU K2 has 8GB of GDDR. 8 * 32 GridK2's = 266GB of total memory..maybe it takes 22GB just as reserved for the system...

You mean the one i mentioned earlier? That was a Memory Optimized server used for using the actual CPU cores not any sort of GPU.

GPU instances there is only one, and that supports this

g2.2xlarge   8 VCPU   15 RAM

and its gpu is a "High-performance NVIDIA GPU with 1,536 CUDA cores and 4GB of video memory"
so using the gpu miner would work but how well i am unsure.

Personally i would just go all out CPU bound and forget the gpu's

Is it even 32?  when I try anything above t -1 it starts acting weird like this:

[2014-06-24 17:36:57] GPU #0: GridK2, 1160234.30 H/s
[2014-06-24 17:37:00] Stratum detected new block
[2014-06-24 17:37:00] GPU #1: [null], 1109579.90 H/s
[2014-06-24 17:37:19] Stratum detected new block
[2014-06-24 17:37:19] GPU #2: [null], 1057172.32 H/s

shows quite a lot of hashing power but zero shares submitted. In some cases, it just dumps outright. Runs stable at 90 H/S one t -1.

It would keep me happier if you'd all would just stop talking about g2.2xlarge instances.

This is not the instance you're looking for. Go mine with Azure.

Can someone please post a bat example for tsiv's ccminer-cryptonight. I can not find one through search.

Thanks

ccminer.exe -a cryptonight -o stratum -u user -p password.

It should work right out of the box, but you can try using/experimenting with -l too, like this
cccminer.exe -a cryptonight -l 8x60 -o ........

Or is your message in fact the trick to law us away from the real instance

My cards keep crashing. I am thinking that it does not support 660TI. Will have to wait for the rest of the parts of my new rig to arrive early next week.

Shit!

G2.2xlarge is .65cents/hour ../instance

but depending on the speed of the instance you really need a profitable coin to make money on this.

[bigjme]

Did you check the bottom where you can rent ones that arent being used right now? Im sure they were leaving much much cheaper.

I think their ones people have reserved but rent back when not in use

I have way around that. Though from that perspective, I first need to be able to use the gpu optimally. T-1 (I guess means 1 card) hashing at 90h/s is costly at even 0.065/hr

congrats to djm34 for joining talk coin development team   ( please focus on wallet. DO NOT upgrade AMD miner   )

[bigjme]

Seriously? Why is everyone doing all this cool development except me

[Amph]

there is an x15 coin, shabal and whirlpool added lol

i got Crytonight to work on win 8.1 by using -l 6x40. The speed display on pool go close to speed shown on ccminer , however, after a while , pool speed cut by almost half and remains there while ccminer still show the same speed. The speed shown on pool rarely goes to the speed shown on ccminer. I tried different pool, all yield the same result.

I am on windows 7 but the bolded part applies to me also. I am hoping that we are getting credit for what ccminer shows.
