Azure ETH Mining method

[hippieb0y]

--Bizspark azure method--

Before you begin you require a Microsoft Bizspark account, preferably an admin but an invite will work just the same.
With an admin account you get 5x accounts (Admin + 4 invites) which is what this tutorial will be based on.

Each machine will feature 2x M60 Tesla cards so lets do some math here:
1. Each miner has a fluctuating speed of 31-41MH/s so lets base our calculations on 35MH/z. (https://i.imgur.com/QS2wMsz.png)
2. Based on CryptoCompare 35MH/z will generate $8.75 per day
3. An admin account will allow you to run 5 machines which jumps this upto $43.75 per day.
4. The machine costs £1,513.81 to run and you get £115 credit per month allows you to run the machine for 3-4 days.
5. Calling it 3 days you will be generating $131.25 per month from those 5 machines

!!! The reason this tutorial works is because the accounts will refresh each month with £115 credit, meaning your next month will be $131.25 pure profit or even higher depending on ETH price !!!

//All of this was based on ETH mining with a mid range outcome, results can definitely increase according to ETH price / pool luck\\

Very helpful, thanks. But is there any ban issues like Google cloud or AWS?
I mean have you ever encountered any banning before for mining cryptocurrency? or it's ok to mine cryptos on Azure?

I am also thinking about mining on cloud based machines but there are several articles of mining on azure with low reaults. Most based on Bitcoin, some on Ethereum .
Edit: Delited link. Seems to be suspicious.
But in summary: Neither BTC nore ETH seems to be profitable on Azure. Earnings like on faucet.
But maybe try out and tell us, what happened

I have been using this over five months now. No such issues faced as yet.

You should try it if you got free Azure Credits.
