anyone still have AWS mining YAC?
my ubuntu instance only got 99kh/s, even that it got 750kh/s before, i stopped mining for few week ago
i amazon increase the CPU perfomance to prevent this?

How does one kill all screen sessions? I accidently started a few sessions per server and they all have different numbers, I want to kill them all in one swoop and start over
killall screen

Now we just need to figure out how to get them deposited automatically to our wallets.

If this guide helped you, maybe kick some of the YAC you mine over to me at Y2JcwhZu9m6cqPZ3Jv8iKspcJYNY5wa5zc
As promised, 100 YAC Sent your way
I initially planned to send more but I only got 25% for the estimated rewards from that pool since it was dropping connections constantly. I should have solo mined! Also Joee I owe you some coins if you post your addy.

Is this deal still profitable?
right now it seems 750kh/s will yield 1.875 yacs/hr. or roughly $0.15 /hr. If you're paying more than that, then no.

I ran 10 instances for 2 hours on saturday but wasnt getting anything. Blocks per day should have been 40 at that time.
Is there any way to check if its working as it should? I had the impression that while it was compliling i saw some error messages.

Everything is working great, thanks for the help! Just one last question if I decide to stop mining and terminate these servers completely(so I dont have to pay hourly) Do I just right click on the instance and terminate? or can I pause it somehow. And can I also turn off my computer while these instances are running using the tmux method?

Aye, make sure you understand how AWS works.
Could end up costing a you a LOT of $$ if you are not careful.
I was experimenting a fair bit over the weekend and ended up with 800 spot instances running the miner spread out over the 8 data centers.
Now this was just an experiment and I knew it was going to cost me a fair whack..
End result : Around 500 yac.
End cost : $234.
Only ran it for 2 hours.
Now I could have done it a lot cheaper, but I really just wanted to play around with it. Fun fun fun

Or in other words, when ive started mining on one SSH session can I close it down, or do I need to have 4 SSH clients running?
Just to add to this guide, if anyone tried this, you would have noticed that when you are mining , if you close the ssh session, when you ssh back in, u realise that the mining stops, the solution :
Use tmux, it allows you to continue mining even if ssh is off.
Before you type in the mining code type this
Code:
tmux
You should see a windows with a green line at the bottom of your ssh window
Proceed to type your normal mining code
If you want to close your ssh session, press the following keyboard keys
CRTL-B followed by D
You should see the green bottom bar disappear, do not worry, your mining is still running in the back end
now close your ssh session
When you ssh back in, type the following to reopen the tmux window that is still running your mining
Code:
tmux attach -t 0
RUNNING MINING EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT SSHing IN WILL EAT UP ALOT OF "COMPUTE HOURS", if YOU GET CHARGED ALOT BY AMAZON, I BEAR NO RESPONSIBILITIES.

Hello, I just order 4 servers, and followed the guide precisely. How do I know if they are running, They are all in the same security and placement group, I connected to solo mining using one of the instances, does this mean all the 4 servers are connected and mining?

Just incase anyone runs in to problems with this command :
Run this first :
Try again
Kept getting 403 Forbidden errors .
Also this gets the highest hashrate :
dont add -t argument
Code:
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev automake make
Run this first :
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Try again
Kept getting 403 Forbidden errors .
Also this gets the highest hashrate :
Code:
screen -S miner ./minerd -o http://yac.dontmine.me:8080 -u user -p pass -a scrypt-jane -r 9999
dont add -t argument

Amazing guide and although not profitable now ... I see how it can be profitable long term
