Ethereum mining on windows azure

Mining ethereum / ethereum classic with K80 GPU is not a good idea. But, what if you got some free credits lying under your account. Then why not!

I used Azure NC24 instance to mine ethereum.

Caution: If you don't have free credit from azure then don't even think about mining on it. Because price of NC24 instance is $4.378/hr and there is no way you could mine even closer to it.

Hardware requirement and setup:

1. windows azure NC6 / NC12 / NC24 instance
2. ubuntu 16.04

Copy below scripts to your home directory.
change permissions so that you can execute it if you are saving it in a file and running it.

chmod u+x setup_script.sh

You can also run individual commands if you don't want to run a script.

Setup script:

wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1404/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1404_7.5-18_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1404_7.5-18_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git cmake libcryptopp-dev libleveldb-dev libjsoncpp-dev libjsonrpccpp-dev libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev libreadline-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev ocl-icd-libopencl1 opencl-headers mesa-common-dev libmicrohttpd-dev build-essential cuda -y
git clone https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/
cd cpp-ethereum/
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBUNDLE=cudaminer ..
make -j8
cd ethminer

Mining script:

export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
./ethminer -G -F http://eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:80/0xba7f6E93C68f118Ca506b79135e0C509edEf9344/$HOSTNAME

YOU ARE ALL SET!
PS: Make sure to change ethereum address with your address.
