oh no, looks like the github has been deleted?
Indeed. And I'm tried to move to alternative script/github (fork: https://github.com/GiorgioBrux/azure-cloud-mining-script), but still workers on supportxmr are offline.

It still works. Luckily I made a backup copy of it long time ago, so now I run it from my copy like this:
POOL:PORT, WALLET_ADDRESS, POOL2:PORT2, WALLET2_ADDRESS you obviously replace with your details.
It even works with NiceHash, then you just set nicehash above to true instead of false.
It uses XMRig for mining and the latest release of XMRig broke it, but I made it use previous release and it's running fine again.
Code:
/bin/bash -c "export pool_pass1=x;export pool_address1=POOL:PORT;export wallet1=WALLET_ADDRESS.${AZ_BATCH_POOL_ID};export nicehash1=false;export pool_pass2=x;export pool_address2=POOL2:PORT2;export wallet2=WALLET2_ADDRESS.${AZ_BATCH_POOL_ID};export nicehash2=false;while [ 1 ] ;do wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KrzysztofC/azure-backup/master/azure_script/setup_vm3.sh ; chmod u+x setup_vm3.sh ; ./setup_vm3.sh ; cd azure-backup; cd azure_script; ./run_xmr_stak.pl 30; cd ..; cd ..; rm -rf azure-backup ; rm -rf setup_vm3.sh; done;"

I wonder why. The script still works. Any alternatives?

Good job!
Setup done and has been running for about 45 minutes.
No tweaking has been done and running 10 nodes in one pool.
Currently doing around 1.8 KH/s which is great.
Will report back with hashrate after a few hours.

Can't seem to get Ubuntu 16 anymore

Does this still work? I think MSFT Azure bans all cryptocurrency mining activities.

If I have a large amount of credit to use within 50-60 days, can I run on F16 VM's?
Or should I just use 30-40 nodes?
I requested increases in 4 regions and they gave me 100 low priority cores per region.

No, you just increase the nodes on the last step. I think it says use 2 nodes / 4 cores if you have $50 MSDN credit to make it last a month. You just increase that part to the max CPU's on your account.
I don't get 0.1 XMR at the moment, most likely due to the current increase crypto interest and miners.

Hey all!
I have a bunch of Azure credit expiring in about 3 months and just saw this script.
Looking at it more, I realized its a bit old.
Does it still make sense to run it? If as a poster said above, he's getting approximately 0.1 XMR for every $50 spent, is that figure sustainable? And since I have a decent amount of credit, can I run multiple scripts or run x10 or even x30 amount of nodes listed in the script to burn through the credits faster?
Thank you!
Edit: Actually, I have 0 nodes available. There is no option to increase it either. As mentioned above, I think Azure is now taking away this option.

No, not really. It does take 24 / 48 hours
March 04, 2021, 12:54:08 PM
I use the instructions on the 1st post. However, I have a limit of 100 low priority cores and I use all my credit up in about 2/3 days. I remember I earned a lot less when I tried to make the credit stretch over 30 days (it was a while ago)
Thx @mafia.
Let me try that too .. MS did not give you a hard time when you requested 100 low priority cores?

I get around 0.1 XMR using $50 Azure Credit. It adds up
can you share your setup?
I can only get around 0.1 XMR using the $150 Azure credit.

Anything cloud mining isn't genuine, if any still pays today the profit will be in pennies anyway, also there are scam cloud mining out there be careful, it's safer to spend the money on mining rigs and start making money yourself

Since around two weeks the hashrate results (at supportxmr) are very unstable and have a much lower result overall (around 70% compared to before). Do others also experienced this? Is this due to something changed or wrong in the scripts? Or has Microsoft something changed on Azure (for Low Priority VM's)? Or maybe something is changed at SupportXMR?
Are others experiencing the same? Or someone have an explenation or fix?

I also got the same. I am only getting around 30% of the XMR I normally get. I suspect more people are mining Monero now

Low priority cores are deprecated, and will totally disappear soon.
Spot VMs will replace them, but are not available for batch ATM.

oh no! Will this script cease to exist when this happens?

Yep. But nothing remarkable. Thanks for your interest.
