I re-deleted everything and created test conf......working now ....will test Nvidia mining options and advise

Is there a Windows compilation for the Nvidia miner that you have in the link??

Will require Windows compiled version of the cudaminer that you have posted to test, please advise or can someone here put one together please, thanks

will do that ASAP, never did the window compiling though.

Anyone is able to compile a windows cudaminer, we offer a bounty for that; please contact me for details.

BTW, anyone likes the new look of qt? This is non special anyway (copy work based on cloakcoin's qt interface).

It looks nice.

BTW, 3 blocks mined in an hour on one i3 core.

Edit: do you have some special instructions for running this on an Amazon instance?

Hmm, I don't have prior experiences on that, so none effective instructions. What I can see is that hashing will be done by the CPU of Amazon instance. So this will be all about cpu mining, and would be less efficient compared to gpu mining in general. Running daemon & miner on Amazon instance won't be any different from running in PC, let's say using debian. The difference will be the type of CPU, which could be much more efficient than one's laptop. Making use of the efficiency of CPU though needs some optimizations on the mining program, on which, unfortunately, I don't idea.

I've considered AWS GPU instances, they are available now with Nvidia CUDA drivers:

I'm willing to give one instance a spin if you point to tested CUDA miner for Magi.

cuda does not work yet, happen to windows build and aws gpu. Same error.
