Topic: [YAC] Illustrated, step-by-step guide to starting your own AWS YAC server farm! - page 3. (Read 13590 times)

Here is a script to automatically send the YAC to you from the AWS Instance.
I have created this as an executable file named "schedule.sh"

(If you like this script... don't donate to me... use/improve the script!)


#!/bin/bash

# Set the threshold to the minimum amount you want to have sent to you.  Make sure it's more than 0.01000000
# Set the address to your address, or I will get all your YAC!

threshold="0.20000000"
address="Y4B3S6dVVAFwex6Fio6JprFQkWgwU5E3uf"

yac=`./yacoind getbalance`
if echo $yac $threshold | awk '{exit !( $1 > $2)}'; then
   ./yacoind sendtoaddress $address $yac
else
   echo "Not enough YAC to send yet!"

Ok it's working, you sir are a legend! 

It needs to download the blockchain before it can start mining. Give it a minute or two and check again.

It'll also tend to vary each time you check the hashrate, so take the average of several measurements.

If you're really concerned it's actually not working, do the following:

Hey man, you are brilliant for creating this.

One thing, I did all the steps, it says mining has begun, but when I put ./yacoind gethashespersec it shows 0. What do you think?

to use this script on regular ubuntu just add install of libssl-dev

You're right, I was limited to 40 instances total (2 regions). But I was really making 750kh/s each - if you don't believe me, look at my sales history on the google docs exchange.

if you wanna take the pooled mining approach, run these off a fresh install

how many threads are those ? <--- stupid me didn't see the post about minerd earlier.... lol

1 cc2 got 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2670, eight-core so u claiming each of them got 100,000/133/2 375khas interesting also amazon limits to 20 such large instances per region plus orphans, plus can you even post exact calculations then to show how 100,000 KH produde 10K at current diff or hey if thats the case well done man you are makings tons of yacs hehe

On that price it is though not for long, I haven't found it though but may be because I was not interested in linux, don't have a clue about it.

Their "support" sucks, express setup is a lie (takes up to 4 days to get VPS), sometimes i get downtimes. But very strong VPS for a great price.
Edit: Hoping the host machines now don't get raped by (more  ) miners. But i got some days left if the company is as slow as always.  

Using cc2.8xlarge (750 kh/s each) from West Virginia that would require about 133 instances to get 100,000 kh/s:

 at 0.27/hr * 24 * 133 = $861/day for 100,000 KH/s, nowhere near $6000.

So it is still profitable by my calculations.

What host, if you don't mind me asking? I'm so far satisfied with http://ramhost.us, which has some cheap plans but is nearly always sold out for new customers.

LOL Amazon is expensive! Getting 300kH out of my shitty VPS running 10 of 12 cores... and it only costs 15€ per month (which IS an amazing deal, i know). So for 100,000 kH i'd have to rent 300 of those for 4500€ per month.
1 day Amazon or one month noname?  
edit: Ofcourse i know it's all about flexibility. But if you plan on mining for a bit longer, go for the real thing imo.

Thanks for the interesting read. Very cool!

That's not profitable anymore unless you can get it for free.. current biggest hash power on dontmineme pool is 100 000 KH and it's estimation is 10 000 coins per day.

You would need to pay approx 6000$ in 24 hours to run that farm (windows servers, linux is bit cheaper) and you would have to sell those 10 000 at 150 LTC/1k to break even

Around 78.4243872 yac/day by my estimates.

CreditCard requirement prevents me, buying instances -.-
quite unusual in Germany

tried some VPS with getting 30-70 khashes 100% stales -.- (got money refunded )

Depends completely on the difficulty, which is changing rapidly. One way to tell the relationship between kh/s and yacoins/hr is to go to a yacoin pool and divide the hashrate by the average number of blocks found per hour, then multiply by the block reward.

I haven't got data for it right now, maybe someone else can help you.

EDIT: sounds like the number is 80/day  

my rough math... probably 80 or so at current diff.
