I have the same problem PLEASE HELP! fast-pool holding my coins hostage and the amounts have been going down (apparently if you leave them in there, they get "orphaned")

Did anyone ever get fast-pool to respond? They are also holding my doge hostage

I have multiple AWS Amazon Web Services accounts and the ability to pay for them.

This service would make sense for anyone that wants to leverage AWS for hosting, CDN, storage, etc. but wants to pay for that using bitcoin.   Currently, you can only pay for AWS with a credit card.

What is AWS?
The largest public cloud computing platform in the world. http://aws.amazon.com


What does this service cost?
I will allot you $500USD in AWS credit for every BTC30. This rate is subject to change. 

What if I use more than $500 of AWS credit?
Think of this like a pay phone. If you use up the allotment without re-up'ing, your access will be terminated and all of your resources destroyed.  The first few people that take advantage of this program will get some leeway as I work out the kinks.

What do I get exactly?
Full access to AWS services, accessed via unique IAM credentials. http://aws.amazon.com/iam/faqs/

What can I use the AWS service for?
Anything that is permissible under the AWS terms of use (can be found here: http://aws.amazon.com/terms/)

Are there refunds available?
No.

How do I get started?
PM me for details. 

i would like to use php as well for an experimental project, just to keep it simple

are there any frameworks/guidelines to building a bitcoin friendly site in php?

the successful bitcoin sites i've seen usually have these attributes:

* they accept bitcoins by given each unique user a unique wallet to send money to
* they allow for anonymous, tokenized access

Thanks!

does anyone know what blockchain, satoshidice, bitcoin minesweeper, etc are built with?

Any BTC based VOIP / SIP services out there?

Any interest in using them?  This is another area that might generate economic activity outside of mining, gambling, or exchanges.

I agree. A rigorous response to AWS TOS violations would be necessary.



I probably wouldn't be giving out AWS access keys at all. More like a hosting scenario, I would allow access to specific objects/calls (ie. EC2 instances) and have zero knowledge of the access credentials on those servers (stream the .pem file to customer and not store it).  I can't think of another way to do it.

That's a great question. For avoidance of doubt I would write up a TOS that ensures no partnership/ownership implied. That is pretty standard stuff.   AWS TOS says something similar. 

However, if  someone's usage violated AWS TOS in terms of content,etc, it would have to be shutdown immediately (standard practice, but even more important with an arm's length financial arrangement like BTC cloud).

I'm thinking something a bit more like EngineYard (but with generic servers/templates) than just passing through an AWS account.

What would be more compelling?

Amazon controls the payment experience, including client side AFAIK - there is no "back end" to trigger a CC transaction.  It sounds like a good idea but I don't see how its feasible.



In any case, if anyone thinks that an AWS bitcoin purchasing app has legs let me know, i'll probably just start doing some simple MVP work, but if there is more interest I'll ramp it up quicker.

That's trickier.  Amazon owns the payment flow on that product.  Not sure how you see a bitcoin integration working there.

Anyone interested in a new app that would allow for AWS to be consumed using bitcoins as payment method?


I have the framework and there are no issues with Amazon's TOS to offer this, however anyone violating the AWS EULA/TOS for consumption (ie. hosting bad stuff) would be booted.

If there is enough interest in the community I'll build an MVP and open it up. Would love to get feedback if anyone has any particular ideas or use cases.

thanks!

Let's just say I have a way around that and to stay in compliance with the TOS.

Is it still interesting?  Anyone up to use this?

hola everyone
i've been a passive observer for last few months. bought some BTC a while back, rode a bit up and down. looking for unique white space development opportunities

anyone interested in a bitcoin -> aws account provisioning system? basically buy AWS servers via bitcoin (only works by credit card now)

hey i'm new on forum, actually been a user for a while but just started to post thank you ahead of time!

i'm a developer looking to get into bitcoin, adding value where i can in terms of bring new services to the community!

Thanks. Whenever I try a -w setting of 256 or higher, the miner seems to have trouble (lots of OpenCL errors),and still is in that sub 800 khash range

Sorry if this is a newbie question

Here is a sample output from my Diablo miner thats connected  to the pool:

Looks like a bunch of blocks are found.

However, when I log into the mining.bitcoin.cz site, my worker says "0 shares found"

Am I missing something?

I'm on a macbook air and i can't seem to get more than 700 khash/sec

any suggestions?
