Maybe Do what smooth said:
sudo screen -r
will give you a list of process numbers. One is the cpu miner, one is the gpu.
Connect to one of these with:
sudo screen -r [put-process-number-here]
When you are done looking or interacting, press "control-a d" and it will disconnect you but leave the miner running in the background.

Okay... minerd at 3100% CPU.
How can I see the hashrate I'm getting?

Okay. So I have an instance of XMRminerToDevFund up and running.
How do I get it to start mining?

it is supposed to be automatic,
use top command to see if it is running

Important update (source code only)
If you are operating a pool or exchange or other important service, or if you are solo mining, and you compile your own node, please pull master from github and upgrade ASAP. Precautionary checkpoints have been added to prevent any attack against the existing blockchain.
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero
No evidence of anomalous activity has been detected at this time. The update is an important precaution.
Updated binaries will follow shortly.
Further measures will be taken as necessary.
EDIT: if you have created AWS images for solo mining please update them with this new build.

Which XMR pools are best protected against DDOS? I'd like to set backups with diversity of shielding in mind (IE Cloudflare-->KoDDOS-->Amazon).
There is no final solution against TCP DDoS.
Cloudflare/KoDDOS/Amazon protection are for HTTP.
These kind of protection are no use in Monero.
The only way to mitigate attack is HARBOR.
All big Monero pools have it.
If you are solo mining on AWS (this includes instances with both a GPU miner and a solo mining node) be sure to open port 18080. You can do that when you launch the instance or you can do it when already started by modifying the security group for it.
Hi,
For those people who like to kill two birds with one stone (looking at you David
) I have created an AMI that launches GPU and CPU miner automatically, on cryptonotepool.or.uk for the Dev Fund Address.

Thanks but the address is correctly configured in the AMI.
Have you guys heard yet.... This coin is dead! less then 24 hours away and xmr coins will be worth as much as Coinye[Suspicious link removed]d luck guys.
Together, we will keep it strong.
Mining solo is not economically feasible for many of us. How best can we preserve economic viability in the face of potential pool outages/compromises?
I'm not convinced there is another option, so perhaps you need to reconsider your economics?
DDoS is a largely unsolvable problem, and has hit major web sites, corporations, and governments that are much bigger than any coin or pool, including Bitcoin. All pools will do the best they can now and going forward but they are all vulnerable. The more a coin becomes a success or threatens to be a success the more enemies it will have, and the more powerful those enemies will be. This current incident is relatively small potatoes.
Pool ops are doing their best to defend, but consider the implications of the previous paragraph given the economics of running a pool as well.
Other than rethinking solo mining (the only decentralized version of mining in which is supposedly a decentralized cryptocurrency), mine on smaller pools and make sure your miner has fallback pools set up so if one goes down you keep mining on another.

The name is XMRminerToDevFund which gives about 550 h/s total.
oregon - ami-15185b25
tokyo - ami-c5c3edc4
singapore - ami-0cb0945e
sydney - ami-b781e28d
ireland - ami-2abe185d
N. Virginia - ami-a477dccc
N. California - ami-250f0760
You basicaly follow jwinterm instructions bellow and stop at number four.
Its also possible to select other types of instances but performance may take a hit because its configured to 8 cores.
(Any trusted member wants to vouch for this?)
I'll be copying the AMI to various locations and posting here the ami reference as soon I have the time.

This is a detailed guide to setup cloud miners (cpu+gpu) on Amazon EC2. I put together this guide for user oda.krell, who was kind enough to give me a very nice tip for it, so thanks should also go to oda.krell.
OK,
So here goes (assuming you have your ec2 account all set up and linked to credit card, which you can do here: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/ ):
1) Click on EC2, and then click on Spot Requests under Instances on left sidebar.
2) Click Request Spot Instances blue button near top, and then click Community AMIs and search for XMRminer. Select XMRminer2.
3) For Instance Type, select GPU instances g2.2xlarge, click next and set your maximum price (kind of expensive now, need to do like $0.09 per hour, used to be more like $0.06).
4) Click Review and Launch and then click Launch.
(.....)
If you would like to send me some coins for tip, here is btc:
and xmr addresses:
Let me know if you have any questions or anything. And if you want to repost anywhere, I don't mind. Good luck

Which XMR pools are best protected against DDOS? I'd like to set backups with diversity of shielding in mind (IE Cloudflare-->KoDDOS-->Amazon).
What steps can pools take to prepare for Zero Hour? Should they whitelist existing connection IPs and not accept new ones? Or would that backfire by preventing those trying to help from contributing hashrate at critical moments?
Moneropool.com used to have a semi-private backup address; I'd like to see that come back.
Could the core devs set up a few new known-friendly pools, and only allow pre-approved stratum proxies to connect?
Mining solo is not economically feasible for many of us. How best can we preserve economic viability in the face of potential pool outages/compromises?
Many of us are excited to participate in helping diffuse the hell out of whatever BCX does, but can't pay the bills given solo or tiny pool variance.

Any suggestions on viewing mining performance when I ssh back in to an instance? Log files to look at, etc?
sudo screen -r
will give you a list of process numbers. One is the cpu miner, one is the gpu.

sudo screen -r [put-process-number-here]

Another Q: How do I configure one or more fallback pools?
This is a detailed guide to setup cloud miners (cpu+gpu) on Amazon EC2. I put together this guide for user oda.krell, who was kind enough to give me a very nice tip for it, so thanks should also go to oda.krell.
....

I would also advise to spread the instances over the various regions so that we do not compete with each other for the low prices.
Also if we rely only in spot instances there may be none available if someone (for example an attacker) were to instantiate 1000s of instances for the full price.
...
How do we set up on different regions? I only see the XMRminer AMIs in USA/Oregon.
You probably want to make your own image, anyway, so I guess you would need to start an instance in Oregon, save it as your own, and then you can launch from any region. I'm not entirely sure tbh, as I've only ever used Oregon region.
Ok, thanks. I just set up an image at the pool you referenced and have a single instance running. I'll launch a bunch of instances later on (I guess I'll basically be using that pool as my own solo-mining instance....that pool is tiny. )

You have to copy the image to another region, then you can launch it there.
