I'm rather new to all this. Invested in a couple coins after realising the crash was due to phishing so would probably recover.

Which led me to look into how it works a little bit more.
Having a $100 EC2 voucher and nothing better to spend it on i figured why not set up a miner on one of the GPU instances.

Well... All was good until the hack. From reading the thread it looks like slush has no way of tracking shares for blocks mined while the database is down. As such I think (please correct me if im wrong) he's sharing them amongst those that are still mining when it comes back up.

My issue is the majority of my voucher has been spent while the site is down. I expect it will run out before a fix. Since EC2 mining is not profitable I want to terminate the instance as soon as its going to cost me, but i would also rather not lose out on 24 hour of earnings...

Does anyone have any suggestion on what I should do?

Also, on a side note, I have a second $100 EC2 voucher which I am willing to sell (You can only use one per account) for a reasonable offer of either cash or bitcoins. It expires in a couple of months and i believe all credit must be used by then.
To a trusted member on the forum I would be willing to give you the voucher and then you pay me once you have confirmed it works.
If I can't find evidence you are trustworthy you would have to pay first. If the voucher were rejected and you can provide proof of this I would pay you back.

Thanks

Payne
