...an 8 CPU is only doing 200KH/s which is around $160 a month.
Where do you obtain these numbers from?
There aren't still any websites where you can trade XCO / DRK so, what is the value you are assuming for this coin?
Hey I was just doing some math with VPS costs to mine it.
https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing
Here's the current cost
$640
$0.941
64GB
20 Cores
640GB SSD
9TB
Running 7 of these is netting about 3,327KH/s = 1,820.340 DRK
7 x $.0941 = $6.58 an hour
$6.58 x 24hours = $157.92 per day
Should give a base value of $.0867 per coin
So, using a c1.xlarge spot instance on EC2, I was getting these stats:
Currently the network is producing 68,640 DRK per day (143 per block * 20 blocks an hour * 24 hours)
1 instance runs at 140Kh/s , for $0.07/hr
There for you can calculate the coins per day to from the Kh, (140/35000.0)*68640
Coins per day = 274.56
Daily cost is 0.07*24, or $1.68 per instance.
Which brings the coin cost to... (0.07*24)/274.56
$0.0061
Cool thanks for the heads up. I'll have to try amazon out.
Also there's a huge difference in the estimates form the other pools vs darkcoin.io's what's going on there? I thought they were all running the same mining software
its just a setting somewhere... dont worry about it
Bigal pointed out a problem in my config that was making the estimates incorrect. It should be fine now!
