Could someone confirm hashrate with an Amazon EC2 32CPU instance please? I was getting approx 1,300,000 (if I remember correctly). Is this in the right ballpark?
You are referring to c3.8xlarge ?
Yes, c3.8xlarge.
I've seen this given as the hashrate to blocks calculation:
hashrate*86400/difficulty=blocks per day
If that is correct, one 32CPU EC2 (c3.8xlarge) instance at Amazon with 1,000,000 hashrate and difficulty 139,885,237,143 gives:
0.6 blocks per day.
10BBR per day.
0.015BTC per day.
Given $670 per BTC, you've mined $10 worth.
And you've given Amazon $40 for the privilege.
That's a $30 loss.... Where have my calculations gone wrong?!
