For those people who like to kill two birds with one stone (looking at you David ) I have created an AMI that launches GPU and CPU miner automatically, on cryptonotepool.org.uk for the Dev Fund Address.



The name is XMRminerToDevFund which gives about 550 h/s total.

OK,

So here goes (assuming you have your ec2 account all set up and linked to credit card, which you can do here:

1) Click on EC2, and then click on Spot Requests under Instances on left sidebar.

2) Click Request Spot Instances blue button near top, and then click Community AMIs and search for XMRminer. Select XMRminer2.

3) For Instance Type, select GPU instances g2.2xlarge, click next and set your maximum price (kind of expensive now, need to do like $0.09 per hour, used to be more like $0.06).

4) Click Review and Launch and then click Launch.

Its also possible to select other types of instances but performance may take a hit because its configured to 8 cores.

I'll be copying the AMI to various locations and posting here the ami reference as soon I have the time.

Several other coins are specifically NOT open to negative discussions and become a blind group circlejerk.



While I have no fear of that happening to XMR (at least to the extent I've seen in other places) I feel leaving the main chat thread unmoderated speaks volumes about it's legitimacy.



In online forums, there are little ways to differentiate legitimate speaking from malicious. Established members recognize each other (reputation) but occasional lurkers do not have this guide. It is easy to affect the quality of discussion, and even the perception of community opinion, by cheap methods that are difficult to thwart. This is why they are so commonly used.



There is, for example, no realistic reason for any actual cryptoperson to hate let's say Monero. Yet by reading the forums, there is a perception that there is a large anti-Monero crowd there. In actuality there is not. The number of Monero users is over 10,000 and they are happy with their using. A small number of accounts is spreading their negative view.



This could be mitigated by making the posting costly, by instituting a minimum reputation threshold, by making a per-post fee, by making it needed to show that the poster actually has Moneros if he is going to talk about it, etc. These measures have not been implemented. The only way to deal with trolls is deleting their posts, which angers them, or ignoring them, which leaves the main problem - affecting the perception of the lurkers - uncured.



We in the Monero community have not yet reached the consensus on how to tackle this angle of attack. Some members have hinted that dedicated forums are coming. This is definitely a good development. The "insiders" of the coin need discussion channels where there is no interference. Yet, the importance of Bitcoin Forum > Other > Alternate cryptocurrencies is really big and there are no plans to leave it.



There has been talk about Monero having more than its fair share of threads and activity in this forum. Now that is complete bullshit. The Alternate cryptocurrencies main (without even the [ANN] and others) has 31,440 threads total, of which the 20 or so Monero threads that are started by Monero supporters are hardly an excessive percentage. That many of the Monero threads are in the first page, speaks about the vitality of the community. Monero is a new coin, and ranks about TOP-5 in $ value of emission per day and trade volume. Also it is very easy to not see Monero-related stuff - just not click those threads!



We believe this multi-pronged attack has gone a little too far now, and there might be retaliation coming.

Either way the thread is moderated either by bitcointalk staff or by someone within the coin's community. Scumbag traders resort to cross coin promotion and fudpacking to promote their own loaded investments. The only way to mitigate their assault is by shifting to a self moderated thread or an independent forum. I know at least one person working on a new altcoin forum where Monero actually has it's own section



I'm a big fan of all privacy focused coins that have real development behind them and Monero is definitely among them. Starting off with a new source is going to come with some uphill battles as the code isn't as battle tested as bitcoin or its forks; However, the amount of work going into the codebase to make it maintainable shouldn't be an invite for shitbag traders to troll developers work. The end goal here is financial privacy, which is an idea that most of us believe will someday be a reality. One way to help speed this up is gathering all the major coins together and moving to a proper forum that promotes altcoin growth and development over shitcoin pump and dump groups. +1Either way the thread is moderated either by bitcointalk staff or by someone within the coin's community.

This has been a busy day. The taskforce of crypto_zoidberg, AnonyMint, jl777 and some Monero developers and MEW members has diligently worked on the code and is implementing fixes to possible exploits that might give the attacker the upper hand. The code is evaluated so that we can say with certainty that no coinkiller exploit can be used against us, and this makes me thankful for the original coders of CryptoNote. It is too often forgotten that without this unique technology there would be no Monero that has taken the torch, determined to carry it beyond the current limits of cryptoworld.



Although I cannot personally evaluate all the work that has been done, I would like to thank everybody who have been working on the issue. There are many unique contributions that together make sure that we are able to withstand the attack. I feel that the situation is similar to the attack that we had to thwart only two weeks ago, as we now again stand united.



The MEW will be officially inaugurated tomorrow with 18 members. We will open the membership as soon as possible for everyone who is interested in contributing to Monero's success. The minimum membership fee will be set to 10 XMR to ensure that everybody has an opportunity to join. Our organization is minimal because the activities will be carried out by members themselves, in groups of their choosing. David Latapie serves as Members Executive, I have been selected to be the Operational Executive, and NewLiberty will be our Judge. For practical matters, you will have to contact David, and he will tell when we are ready to take new members.



The attack has served in tightening our ranks and we are now in front of several fundamental decisions. These will be discussed and voted upon by the community in MEW. In a way I even feel grateful that this opportunity to make things straight has fallen upon us. We now have more confidence on the code, and on the developers. The community is unified and I have been inundated with PM's offering help and support. From the quantity of troll posts one would believe that there is some general animosity towards Monero, but the PM's alone speak volumes about the support.



In the end, a coin's value is upheld by people who trust it and decide to own it. The people who do not trust it and do now own it, also do not have a say concerning the value. Monero will be developed for its users, not for the ones who do not use it. I believe the strengthening of the code and the community is very positive for Monero's future.

You may have set your spot price bid too low. If you click on the spot request, you should see the reason it's not fulfilled down at the bottom of the screen. Try to make your bid a half or full cent above the current spot price and see if that gets it going. You may have set your spot price bid too low.
