Hi, Mr. Michael Ludvig
my name is Lubos Klen from Slovakia and I found your article about ETH miner on AWS . How much it would be /your service /to set it up on my aws or some /template instance / because Im not IT guy and never did anything with ubuntu. If I have all process recorded step – by step no problem but never did this kind of process.I have my AWS ready to try.
Thanks
Lubos
Hi, I had contacted you on Github about adding new currencies to your excellent Cloudformation template. I realize its not profitable, but I would like to try a test on Flux and also use the CPU to mine Raptoreum at the same time. I am not a coder, so it would be hard for me to add these. What would you charge to add miniZ miner for Flux mining, and also Wildrig for Raptoreum CPU mining on each instance that spins up. I think you would need to add some fields for the Wallet addresses and mining pools and the Flux config I am using currently has some extras which are needed: .\miniZ.exe –url={addr}@flux-us.minerpool.org:2032 -p {password} –par=125,4 –pers=ZelProof –extra I would be happy to pay for your time on this.
We dealt with this in the AWS Ethereum Miner Github chat I believe 🙂
Good luck with mining!
Hi Michael,
We had some excess (free) computing resources, and were able to utilize your CloudFormation template to mine ETH. From this mining, we donated $400 USD to charitable causes incl renewable energy projects on the United Nations Carbon Offset Platform, Ukrainian (non-military) humanitarian/refugee efforts, and the GiveWell Maximum Impact Fund.
Also had sent 0.005 ETH to your wallet address. (Currently, it looks like some other folks have been mining to that account. :))
Thank you!!!
