I’ll post in this thread when I have fresh AMI’s out in a bit…I just finished the build of debs of the 1.0.0 release on Ubuntu on a Xeon processor, and will be updating things right now ---

I’m getting a bit less than 1 Sol/s per core on c3 instances right now with the zcash teams build, I’ll see what I get on the Xeon built one in a bit (its been higher up until now). ---

A c3.xlarge is getting 2.8 sol/sec right now on my new build, but it just started and that’s still rising, a c3.2xlarge is getting 5.5 sol/sec…but again, they JUST started up less than 10 minutes agin and that rises. ---

Up and running in minutes - nice job, David. A few questions from a guy who has been looking a zcash for over a month, but is still a little new to this; I’d previously setup an AWS miner using[Austin-Williams guide](https://github.com/Austin-Williams/zcash-guides/wiki/Guide-to-Mining-Zcash-on-Amazon-EC2). What’s the difference between your turn-key and the solution that one has using his guide? I wanted to install htop but by default your turn-key doesn’t have the right packages. Not a big deal, but wondered if that was a conscious choice? ---

My ami, you just boot it up and its mining With mine you also don’t have to worry about all the keyspace issues he talks about, as he has that issue because he’s run zcashd before he clones the image, whereas mine has no wallet.dat or blockchain on it, each one you spin up generates a fresh wallet and syncs the blockchain on its own ---

> hereas mine has no wallet.dat or blockchain on it, each one you spin up generates a fresh wallet and syncs the blockchain on its own Okay - but say I boot multiple instances of your turn-key, then I have to keep track of three separate copies of the wallet.dat file? Or am I mis-understanding that point? > I’d have included my script to auto-sweep coins into a zaddr I’d be interested in seeing that. ---

yes, if you mine any coins you need to backup the wallet.dat files or move the coins to an address in a central wallet. The testnet should be calmed down enough soon (hopefully!) for me to mine some TAZ, as I don’t want to toss in features that move coins around into my AMI’s unless I have tested them first. ---

Yes, in ALL regions!! The lazy among us can just do a search for “zcash” or “sprout” in Community AMIs rather than cutting or pasting them 🙂 ---
