Hey overlode, thanks for this guide first of all. I just have a few questions to ask if you don't mind:

- How do you manage dropping hashrates? I plan to run my Spot Instances for up to a week at a time and after about 12 hours, my hashrate dropped from an average of 135-160 to 99. I checked my instances and one of them has dropped from 100% CPU to 0%, is this normal? This has happened to two of my fleets, where one instance just drops in CPU usage.

- I have managed to receive a limit increase from 5 to 25 for m5.large, when do you suggest I request more and how much is a good amount to request without going overboard?

- Is there a larger server, similar to m5.large that produces efficient hash rates for the cost? I'd love to increase my hash rate for a similar cost (i.e instead of $0.0163 per hour for m5.large, is there a server that costs double the price that offers double the hashrate?)

Thanks brode.
