I got a free account with microsoft and a free 30 day trial of azure - allows me to run 20 cores (each gets about 33kh/s) and point them at my pool - If a number of others can jump on this then perhaps we could generate some kh/s to offset this whale?

I realize that it will take alot of folks at 660kh/s - but it is something - and it only took me about 30 min to set up...

I may be mistaken, but that Azure free 1 month trial is $200 credit to use up to one month. If you have 20 cores, sounds like you will burn through the $200 monthly credit very quickly.

About four days of continuous use at 20 cores.

Even at this reduced rate, whale is using ~30000 cores, would need 1000+ people to Azure. At least whale isnt being totally antisocial, if he was a true raper, he would be totally gone now and wait a week to come back. Maybe he calculates more profits with this method or maybe he REALLY likes this coin?

Edit: Hmmm, maybe he is a raper and just woke up and realized he was losing money. Now it will take forever to finish this round.

Something tells me he optimized minerd as well. I remember in the quark days CPU hash rate was around 40khash for quite some time before someone found a way to get in into the 80-90 khash per core range. I don't see why the same thing couldn't be done with these new hashing algorithms.
