Minergate.com would be a great option. They are pretty low on hash and offer noob friendly GUI miner.
Seriously its as easy as download, install, set to maximum number of CPU/GPU theads then click Start. They even offer web-based mining so you can still help contribute hash while browsing the net!

Thank you very much for this, i was wondering wtf was going on.
Does anyone have a step-by-step guide to setting up jwinterm's AMI to solo-mine? I have it pool-mining, but solo-mining using the above link is a bit over my head.
You gotta have some serious hash if you want to solo mine, pa, or be willing to keep your AMI instance running for a long time. Optimistically, you will get 650 h/s per instance on Amazon. Current difficulty is 1.14e9, so you would need on average 1.14e9 hashes / 650 h/s = 1.75e6 seconds = 20 days or so, and with variance that could be well over a month, and also difficulty may increase significantly in the next month as well.
Unless you plan on running the instance(s) for several weeks at least, or you're going to run 20-30 instances, I wouldn't even worry about trying to solo mine. I would just recommend using a pool with less than 100 kh/s. You can find a list of smaller pools with here: http://minexmr.com/pools.html

Ok, thanks for the clarification. First time miner here!

UPDATE: Please consider SOLO mining, if you have to use pool make sure to use backups. BCX will try to DDOS pools in order to gain more control of the network so he more easily pull of the attack. BCX took down poloniex just minutes ago.

ROFL
So after pissing off 90% of the forum over several months you ask for help! Hahahahahaha!
Die, shitcoin DIE!

Why such hatred, i don't understand. Instead of clicking ignore on the obvious trolls, you build up this hatred for monero and anyone that holds/develops/likes/believes in the project. I've really never seen anything like it
Yeah, I'm puzzled myself. Haven't been visiting the XMR community a lot lately but it seems it's mostly Stealthcoin shills fudding. No idea why though..

Please consider to NOT MINE AT ALL!
Why would all none monero bagholders rush to the rescue and provide free hashrate to a network to secure it when we have 0 monero and 0 interest
in preserving your coin and will get about 0 monero for mining with our 4670k`s or something.
Dude just take your VISA and rent everything you can if you think its worth it
I guess not since you try to get everyone else to do it for you..
Cmon solo mine Monero
Could you not make up a better waste of energy?People toss events like Earth hour and you encourage people to solo mine Monero
I would personally like to see BCX succeed.
I bet he is humming on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BixPL_PnjrI while putting Monero on fire.
We need some kind of program we can download so BCX can borrow like 90% of our PSU/GPU`s for his little experiments, then he just tweet "turn the shit on" that
would give us time to microwave the popcorn and enjoy the show.
Hell for fuck sake he should invent a "coin" that is ONLY distributed in proportion the the amount of hashpower you provide to his experiments.
i bet 99.99% that tomorow will be like yesterday and the day before.
The recursive law !
The more we wait for the something, the less the chance for it to happens

What exactly is happening tomorrow? Someone is planning a 51% attack on Monero? And this same person runs a Monero pool?
Sorry, I haven't been keeping up.

Do you solo mine ?
Because if so, i doubt poloniex will be able to give you your coins.
The poloniex address is a global wallet address. what distinguish user who make deposit is the payement ID.
Some pools accept to transfer miner xmr to poloniex as soon as you provide them with address+payment ID.
Else you should mine to using your own wallet address. Its safer and better !

Second wallet operation are suspended at Poloniex, which means deposit and withdrawal.
The only things is that the deposit transaction are in the blockchain but they wont integrate them to your poloniex account to avoid any trick/cheat during the freeze.
So basically your deposit transactions are not lost, just not displayed on your xmr balance on poloniex.

I did include the payment ID, so maybe it will show up eventually.
I think I will switch to my wallet address, though.
Thanks for your answers!

I have a question that I feel stupid asking, but I'm going to do it anyway.
I set up a couple of instances following the instructions. I know this was idiotic, but I set them up to mine to my Poloniex exchange wallet. Since Polo suspended deposits, there have been no XMR deposited to my account.
What happens to any XMR I mined in the last 24 hours? Will they show up when Polo lifts that restriction? Or did I just mine some loose XMR and deposit into cyberspace?

http://xmr.poolto.be/ is small; less chances of attacks on smallest pool; i switched some hash to help
cheers

what or who is BCX ? 
Aha. Got it. Thanks!
Edit: GREAT instructions, by the way. I'm a complete goober and I worked through it!

I am actually so bad at this that I wasn't mining into anybody's wallet because I started it incorrectly. Damn vi...switched to nano, though, and now I'm good. Running two instances, and will set up some more tonight.
Just a question first, though...I believe that when I did ps -A I saw minerd but not ccminer. Is something still screwed up?

You should definitely see them both if you follow all the instructions. Did you setup a g2.2xlarge instance? If you don't have a gpu ccminer won't work. Also, did you run the LDFLAGS command in step 12?
Code:
sudo ldconfig /usr/local/cuda-5.5/lib64
If you don't run that one ccminer won't start.You might just be missing it. You can try:
Code:
pgrep ccminer
and if it outputs anything (a process id) that means it is running. Jump to:
