Topic: Azure ETH Mining method (Read 499 times)

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.

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

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?

--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\\
