@craslovell, I would like to know if every Emercoin Blockchain Engine deployed on an Azure instance downloads a copy of the emercoin blockchain. Thank you
Yes it does, it is a full service node with it's own copy of the blockchain among other tools.

Gentlemen, I think you are misunderstanding. Emercoin release thread is here.
This is a press release to inform everyone that the Emercoin Blockchain Engine is the first blockchain solution to reach the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
There are several Emercoin pools to mine on. It is also being converting to merged mining with Bitcoin. More on that can be found at Emercoin.com/press

MINING GUIDE POW
Emercoin Proof-of-Work Guide
You can mine EMC using SHA-256 ASIC miners in Proof-of-Work (POW) mining pools or in solo mode. Note that mining Emercoin with CPU or GPU is no longer viable since the introduction of ASICs.
Mining with a pool (for hashpower 10-500 Gh)
Sign up for the pool : pool.emercoin.com
Then go to the tab : My Account \ My Workers
There will already have been created default "UserName.1" and password - "x".
Optionally you can create some more usernames and passwords (do not forget to click the "Update" button)
Now your mining program needs to be registered for details:
Pool address: pool.emercoin.com
Pool port: 3333
Worker Name: UserName.1 (or as created during pool setup)
Password: x (or as created during pool setup)
The example of the command line to run cgminer:
cgminer-o pool.emercoin.com:3333 -u User.1-p x
If everything is ok then after a while you will see in the statistics window your username, the power of your miner and the number of mined coins.
Mining in solo mode (for high-power ASIC 500-3000 Gh)
Mining solo will allow you to get entire reward for the block and to help the Emercoin network become more distributed.
Create and place an emercoin.conf file in C:\Users\
server=1
rpcuser=your-random-rpcuser
rpcpassword=your-random-rpcpassword
rpcallowip = 127.0.0.1
rpcallowip = 192.168.0.* # The address of your miner
rpcport = 8344
For cgminer you could use the following .bat file to run your miner:
cgminer-o 127.0.0.1:8344 -u name -p pass

so - if I put a seed node on an AWS EC2 instance would that make my coin the first deployed in AWS?

Press Release
Emercoin Blockchain Engine
- The First Blockchain Solution in the Microsoft Azure Market -
06/29/16
On June 29th 2016, Emercoin and Microsoft Azure released the Emercoin Blockchain Engine in the Azure Marketplace. This is the first application working with a blockchain technology that is designed for end users to be released on the Azure platform. With this release, any user can deploy the completely ready to use Emercoin Blockchain Engine, including EMCSSH as a service as well as a web-wallet with their Microsoft Azure subscription. No additional settings or installations are required by design, providing a full “turn-key” solution, ready to use.
This solution can be used as a structural foundation and blockchain subsystem for more complex systems, as well an independent online wallet with web access.
At its core, the solution consists of a virtual machine running CentOS 7.2 which includes Emercoin software as well as external access via the secure JSON/HTTPS protocols. There is also secure access to the web wallet via HTTPS certificates that are generated on the client side. Forms of authorization can include either a password, or a client certificate with EMCSSL. The online interface provides full functionality, including financial operations and management of records in the NVS subsystem.
Among the solutions available to users who subscribe to the Emercoin Blockchain Engine are the following: Emercoin Client (the command-line client of the blockchain and the wallet, its API), EMCSSH (providing secure remote login to the server as well as preventing man-in-the-middle attacks), EMCWEB (allowing access to an Emercoin wallet securely installed on your own cloud server), which allows the user to develop custom blockchain applications without needing to install each client wallet desired.
The platform will allow developers the opportunity to create mobile or “lite” applications, with access to all of the functions of the Emercoin blockchain.
Microsoft Azure has become a popular platform for companies working with, or seeking to work with crypto-technology and blockchain related solutions since its inception in November 2015. New members join the Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) program on a regular basis, and are making their selection based on the excellent performance and low cost of a distributed platform for experimentation and testing.
Emercoin joined the Microsoft Azure program in January 2016, becoming one of the first partners and blockchain implementing service providers. On this day, the Emercoin Blockchain Engine has become the first Microsoft Azure Market application to provide blockchain services to end users around the world.
Microsoft Azure is an ever expanding set of integrated cloud services offering functions such as analysis, calculation, database access, mobile solutions, network, data storage, and web technologies – All packaged for fast, efficient, and economical operation. It is perhaps one of the most effective and popular technology platforms in the world today.
In the Azure Marketplace, users can browse thousands of applications for use, covering practically all of the existing technological solutions of today. The Emercoin Blockchain Engine is offered as a free solution. The only cost incurred by the subscriber would be that of running a virtual machine and it’s components at the Microsoft Azure rates.
For further information about the Emercoin Blockchain Engine, visit the official page of the application in the Azure Marketplace: Emercoin on Azure Marketplace
The Emercoin Blockchain Engine provides a wide range of services for e-business and network security which can be found on the official website: blockchainengine.org
Emercoin (EMC) is a decentralized cryptocurrency started in December 2013. Emercoin shares many of the same characteristics with Bitcoin, but strives to offer superior services, both in quality and quantity, to businesses and developers worldwide. Today, Emercoin is among the top digital currency offerings available, with a total market capitalization of over $6 million USD at current prices.
