Hi

I'm looking for cryptocurrencies I can mine on many Amazon servers (EC2).
Does anyone use these cloud for mining?

Here are the pricing : https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/?nc1=h_ls

Thanks Smiley

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

I highly doubt that that would make you any money, as it just isn't powerful enough. The only way to reliably mine bitcoin is with an Antminer or a custom built computer. Also, most cloud mining services are a scam, FYI.

Without using AWS promotions, it's never profitable.
GPU's such as tesla is not appropriate for mining considering its price.

I attempted mining on the "g2.2" instance, but the following error occurred when ccminer was executed and failed.
I tried both Ubuntu 16.04 for OS and CUDA 8 and CUDA 9 for CUDA toolkit, but it was the same result.

Cuda error in func 'keccak 256 _ cpu_init' at line 299: invalid device symbol.

What about CPU mining of XMR? Given how cheap CPU is on AWS, could this be profitable?

it doesn't profit if compared to the price for buying your aws. but conditions free trial, you can try mining ETN. let's see how many profit if you using aws.

This is something I was curious about also, but the problem is CPU mining just isn't profitable, outside of perhaps the scope of running a masternode?

It's only profitable if it's free.  And it's against their TOS.  Don't bother.  AWS mining was a short lived thing of the past.
