So I don't understand - I started up a trial of Azure - 20 cores - and my account statement says that I am using about $12/day of the $200 - so at that rate I will get almost 17 days out of the trial - Am I missing something - is it really only going to be good for 4 days and the account page is just not accurate?
I'm doing the same thing, at about $13/day, it looks like. I would think this should last a lot longer than 3 days. I'm not sure why it ran out so fast for the other poster, unless he had a bunch of cores not running longer than that, and it ate up his credit? I'm doing the 8/8/4 cpu setup to get to 20. Is this the best way to go, or should we break it all up into 4s?
Well, believe it or not I havn't finished my trial yet. I watched the youtube vid the guy did about quark mining a couple of times, then did mine. I have configured and deleted 9 machines 3 times now so I sort of have head around it. I am most definately doing 8,8 and 4. With all the things that have gone on recently, GPU mining around the corner (which I won't be able to do) and how awesome this coin is looking I say strike hile the irons hot!

One odd thing I noticed is that in my pools it may say something like my hash should get 25-30 DRK/Day, yet my actual DRK received is much less than that. I am new to this sort of thing, so am I reading that wrong? Although with this recent change, I do see more coins coming in now... so maybe it will catch up somewhat.
