AFAIK Amazon EC2 is practically unDDoSable, I recall a slashdot story from a year back, where some poor idiots tried to ddos amazon, and they failed. There was some fuss about it and their threats were "serious". But I don't remember the details. Perhaps you could google that.
Has anyone ever tried making Amazon EC2 instances that mine BitCoin/LiteCoin/NameCoin (Via virtual GPU or raw CPU mining)?

I am just curious if it has ever been attempted. If so, was it profitable? If it was profitable, does Slush accept that kind of setup at his pool?

Well good news from here; I rebooted and my hashrate went back up from the 575 before to my original 614 Cheesy Happy days. No idea what the problem was but the good ol' restart did the trick Smiley

Dont know if its worth it though lol.

Find the smallest instance type you need for your stratum mining ami image to run on smoothly under moderate load(cost benefit for number of instances).

write the logs and variable stuff to another permanent instance.

You can spread the sm instances over different available zones.

Have some normal sm instances, then use spot instances, lot cheaper (can be terminated any time they go over your max price though so have to keep more of a eye on it).

Set the max price on the spot instances slightly higher then the current price so you have a bit of leeway till they get terminated.

If you can use small its $151.2 month for 30 spot instances or med is $187.2 for 20 a month if prices stay steady.

You could also run a few instances off the load balancers and give the ips to the bigger miners.

I'm not too familiar with the cuda miner, but how long have you waited?  At 30 mhash you might not get any shares for several minutes.

Is your proxy showing any activity?  Errors in the proxy?

Edit When I try the default miner it works fine, but I don't have a ati card. I have a Nvida Geforce 9800 GTX

Im using the same version of Guiminer and I don't need to use the proxy with it.  I'm not sure if that applies only to opencl or if that's with all miners, but you can try changing the server to slush's pool with the same username and password and see if that works any better.

Like I said, that's how I"m using it, and it works fine with stratum without the proxy.  But I am on OpenCl too...

Hate to say it, it's running fine....
the proxy needs to have the wording better this line is confirmation of job 78 NOT having a hash in it

Just takes time and patience and all of us to count our blessings that Slush's is back up for us to mine on.

Hi thread - just released from newbie-town!  Kiss

Many Thanks go to the Slushman for weathering the storm and bringin us back up. I've had to switch back to stratum.bitcoin.cz from stratum3.bitcoin.cz when startum3 went down a couple hours back.

With the pool down about 2.3 TH/s of miners atm, payouts are nice and fat! Especial treat since I just got my second 1.3 GH/s rig online!

cosurgi, thanks, I'll google it. Right now I'm designing "final" EC2 architecture so any experience in this area is valuable.
I think I found it:

http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/12/14/1851240/why-anonymous-cant-take-down-amazoncom

and I found an older one too:

http://it.slashdot.org/story/04/07/07/1811211/akamai-how-they-fought-recent-ddos-attacks

But I think that going with amazon is a good bet.

EDIT: just remember how bitomat.pl went bankrupt: he kept wallet.dat on EC2 (maybe cloud, or something, I don't remember) and reconfigured something in the servers. After restart the system was "clean". So as usual, keep backups safe Smiley

-v -f1 -w128

You can change the 128, to 256, or 64, or some other number.  I've had different numbers work better on different cards.  But that combo of flags always works best for me.

You will definitely get more  hashes

cosurgi, thanks, I'll google it. Right now I'm designing "final" EC2 architecture so any experience in this area is valuable.
I think I found it:

http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/12/14/1851240/why-anonymous-cant-take-down-amazoncom

and I found an older one too:

http://it.slashdot.org/story/04/07/07/1811211/akamai-how-they-fought-recent-ddos-attacks

But I think that going with amazon is a good bet.

EDIT: just remember how bitomat.pl went bankrupt: he kept wallet.dat on EC2 (maybe cloud, or something, I don't remember) and reconfigured something in the servers. After restart the system was "clean". So as usual, keep backups safe Smiley

Yeah, from the control panel, the instances are delete on termination by default so it deletes the volume that used to boot the instance.
