[XMR] Monero Mining

[jwinterm]

Not sure if it's been posted here (and I haven't tested it myself), but Google Cloud is offering a $300/2 month trial of their cloud compute services.

I just got started mining XMR via FREE Windows Azure trial.
So, some of you may be interested in doing the same.
They have Linux and Windows OS options.
$200/1 month Free Trial.

I hope you're on my pool then.

It is strange, I thought Microsoft was auto banning every mining attempt on Azure.

You know it, Boss.

I located my two D4 instances in North Europe just to be closer to your pool.

And thanks, jwinterm, I will check out the Goog trial also.

When I used the Azure free trial I was getting about 80 H/s from it. Don't forget to delete your virtual machine and subscription when it's over or the next month you'll mine ~3 XMR for 200$.

You should spread the hashrate to some others pools to secure the network

~290 hash/sec each from two D4 instances running wolf's miner, 8 threads, on Ubuntu 14.10

Edit: Yeah, at this rate, these two instances will max out the $200 in about 5-6 days, so I will be certain to delete them before the trial ends.

^I tried it first half of June. The miner wasn't so optimized back then.

If any of you is located in the US or the rest of the Americas, for lower latency please give it a try to my pool at https://monerohash.com . Thanks!

You can break Google's 8 core limit on trial by using "container engine" (cluster). Sometimes when new project created the limit is 24 core, so create a cluster with 2x 8 core nodes (+1 main) = 24 core. Create several projects. On your own risk indeed.

And don't forget to point your hashrate to my pool http://hashinvest.net.

Cheers.

Cool.
I got around the 8 core limit by utilizing 8 cores in each of the 3 regions (Asia, Europe, US).
Total of 24 cores, same as you described.

Using cluster you can launch 24 cores on a dozen of projects. I launched 160+ cores, then I got tired and killed them all.

Roger that.

Is there any software I can run under windows 8.1 which would monitor claymore GPU miner and restart miner/computer when it crashes?

It shouldn't crash.

You likely have an overclocking and/or heat issue affecting the stability.

What GPU?

[wpalczynski]

3x R9 290 ... it always crashes eventually, sometimes after 12 hrs, sometimes up to a week but eventually it always does.  I was always running it without any parameters set, now I added -li 1 .. that might help according to the claymore instructions in his thread but will it slow down hashing much?

What are the parameters I should be launching it with?  It would be nice if it wouldnt crash and I could forget about it.

I am sorry but I can't help much. I run a nVidia 750Ti, and I haven't mined with AMD/ATI GPU's.

Maybe someone else can help.

[wpalczynski]

No problem, thanks anyway.

Thanks for the tip but I tried on three different projects and I was still limited to 8 cores max per region.

I don't know how you did it.

Use Container engine.

How do people manage to get "kh/s" with monero - I tried every miner and every trick (legal) Including cloud-mining and the fastest I ever got was
900 hashes per second (windows azure) what's the secret? Thanks.

A bunch of GPUs using this Tsiv Nvidia GPU Miner  or this  Claymore AMD GPU miner.

[CryptoGuu]

will they also can mine monero? If yes, huge difficulty jump is comming.
