I have a few altcoins and I don't want to ruin my pc 24/7.
So I was thinking of buying an amazon aws windows server and host those wallets there.

So what kind of service should I purchase to do so? Huh

What coins are you specifically trying to work with? What are your requirements for redundancy/internet connectivity/network flow?

If you only want to keep 2-3 wallets open then AWS free option would be enough for you. It'll be slow but it'll work.

Coinsmarkets.com allows 24/7 staking if you store your coins on their exchange. I've never tried it but they do have support for many staking coins. It's risky to keep your coins on an exchange, though, so consider these risks first. You could also try hosting on a Raspberry Pi, they are cheap and cost very little electricity.

Raspberry Pi for staking sounds like a cool idea. Will give it a try.

yeah you don't need much to stake. anything windows with some decent ram is fine - i'm not so holding in AWS but staking doesnt need much power. I bought an old dell desktop to stake, found I needed more than 4 GB ram at a certain point when I was staking like 5+ coins, but other than that it works fine.

aws is not a good choice if you fools read there fine print it says pretty much they will shut down anything that has to do with crypto that's running on there servers and that's mainly because all or most of the aws stuff is on SHARED RESOURCES meaning youll affect other users that are using services on the same server

fucking noobs that care not to read shit, hell if you browsed this forum enough youd find LOTS of people who say DONT USE IT cause they can and will shut that stuff down and even cancel accounts because that stuff they don't want running on there servers

t2.micro should be enough for staking a few wallets, and you can get that in the free tier for a year.
I would not suggest mining on it though, as t2 instance type is burstable, which means it's cpu is limited to a baseline of 10% average load.

I have not found any references that support the claim that AWS forbids any mining or cryptocurrency related activities.
You can also check the Acceptable Use Policy page
