Topic: Mining on the Amazon EC2 (Read 7276 times)
Am running the process that update bitcoinstatus.rowit.co.uk on ec2. You will see that I expect.
I definitely see connections to bitcoin clients running on the Amazon cloud but I doubt they are mining.
Aye, some of those may be pool nodes as well. I know of atleast one that is running a pool and nodes on EC2.

no longer profitable.
But you can try it for free mining CPU coins:https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-mine-cpu-coins-for-free-50708

This was covered, in depth, in an article here: http://glennfrancismurray.com/cost-defective-mining-with-gpu-clusters-amazo
If you wish to lose money doing it, it's a great way to spend your time.

Is any ne using Amazon EC2 to mine bitcoin? I was thinking about doing it and wondered how many hashes I would get a second using this setup and which minier I could use..any help would be appreciated

There are better ways to relieve your back problems.
I'm assuming the issue is because you are carrying that heavy wallet around with you all the time and tring to find ways to lighten the load.
Nvidia, there is your answer.
google is your friend here.
First off, Nvidia cards do notoriously poorly with hashing. - heres why https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Why_a_GPU_mines_faster_than_a_CPU#Why_are_AMD_GPUs_faster_than_Nvidia_GPUs?
Secondarily, professional cards tend to do worse then consumer hardware - check here for comparisons between cards - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
There are articles from a few months back talking about how poorly Cluster compute units do on EC2.
I thought the same thing as I was getting into bitcoins....no pez

Won't be worth it.
M2050 is worth about 75 to 100 Mhash/sec.
The Xeons are worth maybe 20 more.
