Only seeing 1 worker in the dashboard - is that expected?

[bersena911]

First of all Thanks for everything you did <3

now my question: Etherminer only shows 1 worker in dashboard when actually 2 EC2 instances are running. Is it okay?

[mludvig]

Hi, yes it’s expected. The AWS workers don’t have a unique name and are all reported together under “default”.

The hashrate should be a sum of all your workers’ hashrates (give or take a few % due to how ethermine.org calculates it).

@mludvig is there any way to check how good are instances doing? currently I get 500 MH/s Hashrate. I am running

1 - g4ad.8xlarge
4 - g5.xlarge
2 - p3.2xlarge

I wonder how did it end up 500 MH/s which instances are doing well.

EDIT:
I got it. logs are in /tmp/ethminer.log

@mludvig does it automatically launch new spot instances when it becomes available? or we have to redeploy template.

asking because I dont see spot requests.

also why we dont create maintain type spot requests?

[mludvig]

Hi,

1. The performance: g4ad.8xlarge is 96 MH/s, g5.xlarge is 56 MH/s, p3.2xlarge is 93 MH/s - all up with your instances it's around 500 MH/s, so yeah, it checks.
2. Yes it will always try to reach the hashrate that you specified in the CFN Parameters. If you request for example Hashrate 1000 MH/s and it only spins up 500 MH/s at first it will keep trying to launch more over time to fulfil the 1 GH/s. You can check the ASG Activity tab to see what it's doing.
3. The ASG manages the spot fleet and creates one-off spot requests. However it keeps trying and creating more so don't worry about that, it's just a technical implementation. It acts the same as having persistent spot requests, just done in a different way that supports more options.

The bottom line is that yes it will keep replacing failed instances and keep creating new ones to fulfil the requested capacity. You don't have to redeploy.

@mludvig This is Fantastic!!! Thanks.

thanks for this information on this can't wait to start..
i request for this instant limit (EC2 Instances / Instance Limit (All G and VT instances), New Limit = 8)

and still, I can't create instance or start the mining software with my current limit. Please help

[mludvig]

Have they approved the limit already? If not you’ll have to wait until they do.

[bornnel]

thanks for your reply. No, they have not. they said 48 hours

It's has been approved>
Why use metamask? please and how do I config it. "Best to use MetaMask"
Its is working now. I will share some eth with you. thanks for your post.

If I wanted to make all instances just g4ad.xlarge please what would I do?

[bornnel]

Hi please, I am trying to use an auto scale to stop instances that are not performing at top hast rate.
Please can you help?

This link did a good job: https://betterprogramming.pub/how-i-made-a-profit-mining-ethereum-on-aws-2ffe3aab579
But I cant add a parameter it's giving me an error -

ave the same issues

KeyPairName:
Description: Name of EC2 key pair assigned to instances.
Type: String

LaunchTemplate:
Type: AWS::EC2::LaunchTemplate
Properties:
...
KeyName: !Ref KeyPairName
01/06/2022, 12:36:55 - Template contains errors.: Template format error: YAML not well-formed. (line 39, column 3)

Please kindly help

My templates don’t use KeyPairName - you must be using some modified / broken template. Where did you get it from?

[bornnel]

I got it from James Robinson post. Tried adding his parameters but it's keep breaking.  Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Wed, 1 Jun 2022 at 21:08, Michael ***@***.***> wrote: My templates don’t use KeyPairName - you must be using some modified / broken template.

Why don't you use my template instead? It's evolved a lot since JR's post. Simply click the quick-launch link from the table here: https://github.com/mludvig/aws-ethereum-miner#quick-start (use the Default VPC links).

If you want to run it in all your regions try this: https://gist.github.com/mludvig/d21b03baf53a5499626f1a786af7b6f7

[bornnel]

Ok. Thanks, which do you recommend? spot or on-demand? I have started again?

[bornnel]

Soi tried a few days 4 days and look at my billing rate.. crazy

I don't know what to do next...

[mludvig]

@bornnel You're running a bunch of EC2 instances and are being charged for it. What exactly is the problem you're seeing?

I am running the VPC stack on two different regions. and for less than 10 hours I was seeinging 48 hours. called the support they said its charges instances for 1hours even when you run it for 2mins.
