Re: Borrowed $1,000,000 (1 million dollars) from my dad to invest in BTC (serious)
Oh, one more thing: STAY AWAY FROM SCAMMERS! Now that you've made public you've got lots of cash to buy BTCs, they'll come around you with outrageous claims/offers. If those offers/claims seem too good to be true, they're DEFINITELY TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! 
Re: Borrowed $1,000,000 (1 million dollars) from my dad to invest in BTC (serious)
Well, taking you at your word, I'll say this much, before you buy $1m worth of bitcoin with your dad's money (if you end up deciding to actually do this), you better be goddamn sure you know how to secure bitcoins.
Yes to that! You don't know what would happen if you lose those Bitcoins. What would you tell your dad?
Better be cautious... I'd definitely find a secure way of putting them in a very safe place. Re: Free $100 Amazon EC2 Credit for CPU mining Photoshares or anything else...
I believe I went razor-thin with this method, hehehehehe

Re: Free $100 Amazon EC2 Credit for CPU mining Photoshares or anything else...
I have an Amazon 100.00 credit for ec2, but I am completely dumb when it comes to this stuff. Help, in words a child could understand?
Oh, no, no, no... That's the wrong approach when it comes to trying to get into virtual currency mining! You need to ask specific questions, because if someone would have to explain everything related to this, it'd be a time-consuming task. So, please, ask specific questions. You'd definitely get more answers that way! 
Re: Free $100 Amazon EC2 Credit for CPU mining Photoshares or anything else...
Is ypool down again?
Yep, it looks like it's that situation, again I wonder if AWS would keep on charging per hour, even after no network activity... 
Re: Free $100 Amazon EC2 Credit for CPU mining Photoshares or anything else...
these are not spot prices, don't confuse people
You have to select Correct linux to see cc2.8xlarge.. try Amazon linux HVM

Hi!
I selected Free Tier accnt (that was as default), now it restricts me from selecting a non-Free-tier instance! Would you help?
Re: Free $100 Amazon EC2 Credit for CPU mining Photoshares or anything else...
It just came back. I've not mined there before but I noticed an alarm icon at the to pright that if you click on it it says:
ypool is currently running on a backup server. 100% uptime cannot be guaranteed.
So guess they are having some issues.

Yes, they are! I talked to one of the staff a few hours ago and they know there's something going on! I couldn't register there to create a worker.
Re: Free $100 Amazon EC2 Credit for CPU mining Photoshares or anything else...
Anyone else is having troubles trying to create an account @ ypool.net? Seriously! It must be an error, because it says an account has been created from my IP, but I've changed my IP three times and still this error pops up! Help!
Re: Free $100 Amazon EC2 Credit for CPU mining Photoshares or anything else...
Hi All,
I just tried this yesterday and it worked: http://aws.amazon.com/big-data/powerof60/
You will get an e-mail within 5 minutes with the Redemption code for Amazon ews $100 credits.
You can use it for example for about 19 hours of 20 cc2.8xlarge servers mining Photoshares (PTS)
Current Spot Price in Oregon for cc2.8xlarge which is a 32 core box is @ 0.253 / hour
Spot Price in Virginia for cc2.8xlarge is @ 0.27/hour
Here's how to quickly mine some photoshares:
1. Create a Spot Request for Amazon Linux AMI (HVM) 2013.09.1, select Compute Optimized cc2.8xlarge instance.
Put in your maximum price of 0.253. (Don't put in more than the current spot price, as you will automatically raise the price for the next time you want to
create a spot request/ or someone else
)
I like to check the Persistent Request box so that it will try again periodically if it's not able to fullfill your request.
2. After you request get's fullfilled( usually within 5 minutes) connect to your server:
3. Now, let's set up Photoshares with yPool:
You have to get the latest linux miner from yvg1900 from https://mega.co.nz/#F!h0tkXSxZ!f62uoUXogkxQmP2xO8Ib-g
You should get core2 version: jhprotominer-yvg1900-M7ff-linux64-core2.tgz
I uploaded it to my dropbox and copied it from there, but if you are paranoid, you can do it yourself
Next, we need to extract it:
Now, let's cd into (cc2.x8large box has 60 GB of ram, with 32 cores, enough for 1GB of ram per mining thread...
You can then run the miner:
4. Make miner start after reboot...
Add the following line to crontab:
Save the file with ":x" and you are set.
5. Now the easy part: create an image of your running instance: select instance -> Actions -> Create Image
6. After AMI is created, you can pick it when you make Spot Requests.
7. Spawn 19 more instances and watch your yPool shares go nuts...
8. Turn off your servers in about 19 hours...
Hope this works for you.
If it does, please drop me some BTC @ 1GU6NwUU5tS8doqfwgEfZR4mfTU7fqo4XF

Thanks!
Hey, thanks for sharing this. I wonder, though, about the chrontab line, how did you set it up (I mean the directory)? And the other thing: how do you turn off your servers? Thanks!I just tried this yesterday and it worked: http://aws.amazon.com/big-data/powerof60/

Almost all of the alt-coins out there are going to be a waste of time. They're being created to take advantage of people who get super excited about different things and then get pumped and dumped.
Be careful about wasting time with too many alt coins.
Be careful about downloading files, seems like there's plenty of wallet stealers around hidden as alt coin miners.
Seen some more of this recently, so wanted to highlight the point.
Here's some good info from later in the thread:
Yeah, definitely right! We need to expose all fraudsters, like TECHSHARE and Infinitecoins. I just got banned from Infinitecointalk for telling him the truth (which he can't handle it) and exposing him as a fraud. I hope people wise up and be wary of all new cryptocurrencies out there, because there are greedy people investing time and money into this lucrative business and they're prepared to hit and run once they've got enough money to do so... Be careful about wasting time with too many alt coins.

Here's some good info from later in the thread:
1) Don't just trust the status of a member, anyone can write 500 posts and be a hero member in a short period. This just means that he invested some time on his membership. He can always decide that a profitable scam will be a good payment for his time.
2) Never deal with anyone without doing a search in the forum with his nickname, in order to check if he has scam accusations.
3) Ask for his coin address and always search it on blockchain.info or www.cryptocoinexplorer.com to verify if his address has the amounts he is claiming.
4) Be very suspicious about proposals well under market price or if he accepts your proposal under market price with no negotiation.
5) Look for the reputation of the member (his successful trades, in the form of vouches from the other party on the deal).
6) Even if he has some reputation, never send all the money in one transfer: send one first very small tranche (0.1 btc might be a good start) and wait for his payment. Send a second little higher tranche and wait again, etc. Small increments, because he might decide to pay you the first and second, to scam a bigger tranche. Always suspect if he doesn't accept to trade in small tranches.
7) If he has no reputation (including most cases when he is a newbie or a Jr.), even small tranches are a risk. Better use an escrow system, like the one of bitmit.net, or a trusted member, or you might need to send over 10 very small tranches. It can be annoying, but loosing your money will be more.
8] For big amounts always use an escrow system, unless the member has an excellent reputation.

Infinitecoins: A Scam? A Project Run By Idiots? Your Opinion Does Matter!
Hello, Bitcoiners!
Robozombie here! I'm glad I could finally join your community! I've been in the backgrounds on and off since I first read about Bitcoins. When I first knew about Bitcoins I believe they were around $10 for BTC1, now you all see the phenomenon it's caused in the world economy (mostly Europe & China). I was one of those non-believers back in the day. Now I regret that I didn't pay enough attention to this giant. So, what I've learned(?) so far is that it's a very good idea to support new cryptocurrencies, but only when you find the project trustful. However, one has to be quite wary of some cryptocurrencies out there. I've just read about the 'Pump-n-Dump' thing that's been going on around since the success of Bitcoin.
I really find disgusting the behavior of heinous people that are either lazy or evil because once they launch a new cryptocurrency, they don't seem to care enough to make it grow and build something to last, then making lots of money. They don't care about genuinely gaining people's trust. Because this is (or, ideally, should be) the end purpose, after all. I believe this kind of people are such lowlifes that don't even deserve the air they breath!
I'm really pissed because I feel that Infinitecoins are a dirty scam! When you go into their forums, you can feel it in the air! It looks like it was setup and abandoned. There is a terrifying gap between the last and the most recent activity from Techshare (I believe that person's one of the admins over there), it's just scary! If I'd embark in such a project, it'd be my baby! How couldn't I take care of my business, a promising one?
Ok, Infinitecoin MIGHT not be a scam, but it's definitely run by morons. I'm totally convinced about it. I'm really concerned about the path it's going through.
Cryptocurrencies are the way to go, but it's our turn to denounce those of us who are fully engaged in wrongdoings, be it by stupidity or evil & greed.
