[ANN] Mining on Amazon Cloud
-
@nixxda I would upload 1TB at a time and give it a break for a day. Have you shared your account with anyone ?
-
I am in the Process of dumping a 1tb drive on my mac to a backup image then gonna wipe the drive and plot it then upload the file to ACD
-
@nixxda what kind of mining speeds are you getting on the cloud?
-
@CoinBuster hey what instance are you using on AWS i wanna copy your setup and start uploading 1tb plot files
-
@Njcfamily31907 You will not be able to upload files bigger than 50Gb i think... They have a limit size per file for sure, i just don't know if it is 50Gb or 100Gb but you will not be able to upload files bigger than 100Gb for sure?!
-
@Njcfamily31907 I have experiment with many instances and currently I use their free offer. It is not as fast the other ofc but I want to have 30TB before paying for the instance.

No I have not. But I've been using a big 24core digitalocean VPS for plotting for a few hours. So I accessed ACD from a second IP. But that was long before they kicked me.
I'm just saying thats the first thing they are asking. If you shared your account with anyone!If I get the account back I wont go much "higher" anyway. Because 15-20TB seams to be limit what I can read in about 1 minute from home.
@iKnow0 last time i checked (e.g. had access) Read time was about 50sec for 13TB while also constantly uploading with an average speed of 40MB/s. If I remember those numbers correctly!-)
Thats from home with an symmetric 1Gbit fiber connection.
I can imagine that using a VPS close to or in their Data Centers will greatly improve those speeds.
Also, ACD seems to have marked some software as "in development" and they dont get the full bandwidth!@gpedro yes 50Gb max
-
I have linked the ACD to a drive letter on my Win10 system and i am building a 7zip files with with all the files on a 1tb disk on my mac machine from across my home network and writing the 7zip file directly to the ACD drive and everything is going smoothly and the biggest files are movies files from my backups of my dvd collection
-
@Njcfamily31907 do you mean you are splitting the files you have in a 1Tb drive into 50Gb 7zip parts of a file? if so it will work although i don't recommend ever use a program to write on a cloud because most likely will not work and even if it work it will take much more time to create the files... create them locally then upload will work much faster for sure?!
If you are saying that you are splitting 1Tb plot into a bunch of 50Gb 7zip files i hope you know that you will not be able to mine with it until you decompact it...
-
No the Files i am putting in the 1tb drive 7zip is reg files ( a backup of the drive ) so that i can empty the drive and then plot it and then upload the plots
-
@Njcfamily31907 Ok so my initial guess was right... although i would recommend to do it locally then upload because will be much faster but if you don't have the available space locally i guess is the only way to work right? xD
-
@gpedro Right all my free space on the mac and my win 10 machine is used both systems are less then 1gb free
-
@Njcfamily31907 WOW 1 Gb free hahaha
And i thought i was lefting too small space free with my usually 20-30Gb free LOL
-
managed to free 250 gb of space on the mac main drive and building the backup file on it in 23gb chunks so i can upload a chunk while it builds the next chunk
-
@CoinBuster So just going back to the OP would just like to clarify what you are doing?
Am I correct in thinking that you have an ACD account which you have uploaded 10TB of 50GB plots to?
You then have an EC2 account running jminer accessing the plots on the ACD account?

@RichBC Exactly.
-
@CoinBuster Glad I have understood, would be great to see a description of how you have set up the EC2 side of things, as I think this is a very neat solution.
Rich
-
@RichBC I will free some time to do the tutorial soon. In the meantime you can open a free instance on EC2 either with Windows or Ubuntu. If you need assistance let me know.
-
@CoinBuster I have got as far as opening an Instance to Windows Server 2008 R2 and opening a Remote Desktop Connection. ran out of play time at that point.....

@RichBC That's a good start. Beware that the free instances have "Burstable performance" (no pun intended, this is how they actually named). This mean that on a t2.micro you are getting 6 cpu points an hour. When your cpu consumption reaches over 20%, they are taking away points. I was mining on this account before so I see no problem, but at higher TB it could drain the points quickly.
If you notice that the mining speed go substantially down or the instance work very slow, check the monitoring tab for the amount of cpu credit left.
