I'm having problems with finding my address, does anyone know how I can find out the address?
primecoind listtransactions
If it's empty you haven't mined any yet!

So do we know yet what the performance is on EC2?
I would be willing to test out various computing sizes but I would be throwing money out the window since it would probably still take more than an hour to get a single block.
Also, wouldn't the admins on digital ocean be unhappy since you are actually utilizing the VPS 100% 24/7?

EC2 was giving mixed results. Check Vorksholk's posts.
At 20-40 it might be worth it. Free is free anyways, especially since it is all luck at this point.

What kind of pps are you seeing with these instances?
"primespersec" : 3
There is a lot of variability. I have seen 20-40. Others, please post your results!
+1 Is this actually profitable ?
No idea! What's the XPM exchange rate at? The VPS is cheaper than electricity for me!
Received a PM.
Before you do this make sure you have imported the private key and the transaction is showing up in the wallet you've transferred to!
primecoind stop
rm ~/.primecoin/wallet.dat
primecoind --daemon

How to delete the primecoind.conf file from the server? yes i copy/pasted too quickly...
And how to know the adress of the wallet?
Thanks!
And how to know the adress of the wallet?
Thanks!
What did you write to transfer any found coins?
Grab the address the coins were mined into.
From the vps: primecoind exportprivkey $address
From your main wallet, importprivkey $privkey
Then stop primecoind on the vps, delete wallet.dat, and restart.
Careful though!
Can you explain more clearly? (where we can add/replace wallet addresses)
Code:
7) Now you can start mining!
Code:
primecoind --daemon
I have tested with higher-end cloud instances from digitalocean, trust me it's not worth it. Seems every plan except he 512MB one gets less than 2PPS average, due to lack of entropy. the CPU is fully virtualized (QEMU), so there is less entropy than primecoin needs. Oddly enough, the 512MB plan works great, I have 30 running right now.
