The same thing happened to me.
Almost exactly. Rails again. S3 bucket for images. Following along with 1monthrails this time. Pushed the key, fell asleep, awoke to Amazon warnings and a $2000+ bill. Also removed.
I wonder how often this happens. Are they mining bitcoins?
- projectramo 12y agoI now use bitbucket.
- Buge 12y agoIt would be really stupid to mine bitcoins. I assume they were mining litecoins or some other more GPU/CPU friendly coin.
- jmnicolas 12y agoWhy ? It's slow but it cost them nothing ...
- Buge 12y agoBecause they can make money much faster with litecoin. To illustrate this, EC2 GPU instances have a NVIDIA Kepler GK104 with 1536 cores, so that is like the GTX680. It gets 120 MHash/s on bitcoin, which translates to 2 cents per month. It gets 207 kHash/s on litecoin, which translates to 32 cents per month. I think on vertcoin you could get 90 cents per month.
- jmnicolas 12y agoWow the effectiveness of GPU for mining Bitcoin has dropped dramatically since last time I looked at it (admittedly a couple years ago). If I remember well you could make a few hundred bucks a month with just one high end ATI graphic card.
- DevFactor 12y agoAmazon support told me (at least the ones spun up on my account), where indeed bit-coin miners.
