Mining Ethereum from a virtual machine, can it be done theoretically?

I only get 3MHs on my m laptop. I didn't answer your question, but I feel I gave you a reference for your m. Hate to burst your bobble but your too late to this party as well. At least in my opinion.

Cloud mining doesn't pay enough in return to make any money at all. You will be wasting your money for nothing. Your actually go backwards. You need to do the math and figure out if its even profitable. Here is a calculator to help. In my opinion, if you want into etherum just buy it and sit on it till the price goes up again.

To answer your actual question, yes it can be done in a virtual machine. You need to pass through the GPU to the instance then mine with it. It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons! August edited August in Mining. I just got into Ethereum only a few days ago, so I am still pretty new at this. I dealt with Bitcoins before, but I was late in jumping into the mining scene of Bitcoin and was never able to effectively mine the crypto.

I see Ethereum's mining scene is still at a pretty early but mature enough stage. I don't have the money to buy hardwares, hence this post. In this case, I will be using VMware Workstation. So can you set up and start mining Ethereum from a virtual machine? Like the vm acts like a mining rig with emulated hardware by the vm software, and the vm itself runs the OS used by traditional mining rigs.

I found online that most Ethereum mining rigs are Ubuntu based so wouldn't it be the same as running Ubuntu in a virtual machine? If this can be done, can someone post a link to a tutorial on how to set it up? Post edited by masterfu on August August edited August Sign In or Register to comment.

A virtual appliance is a pre-configured virtual machine image , ready to run on a hypervisor ; virtual appliances are a subset of the broader class of software appliances. Installation of a software appliance on a virtual machine and packaging that into an image creates a virtual appliance. Like software appliances, virtual appliances are intended to eliminate the installation, configuration and maintenance costs associated with running complex stacks of software.

A virtual appliance is not a complete virtual machine platform, but rather a software image containing a software stack designed to run on a virtual machine platform which may be a Type 1 or Type 2 hypervisor. Like a physical computer, a hypervisor is merely a platform for running an operating system environment and does not provide application software itself.

Many virtual appliances provide a Web page user interface to permit their configuration. A virtual appliance is usually built to host a single application; it therefore represents a new way to deploy applications on a network.

Virtual appliances are provided to the user or customer as files, via either electronic downloads or physical distribution. Virtualization solves a key problem in the grid computing arena — namely, the reality that any sufficiently large grid will inevitably consist of a wide variety of heterogeneous hardware and operating system configurations.

Adding virtual appliances into the picture allows for extremely rapid provisioning of grid nodes and importantly, cleanly decouples the grid operator from the grid consumer by encapsulating all knowledge of the application within the virtual appliance. Virtual appliances are critical resources in infrastructure as a service cloud computing.

The file format of the virtual appliance is the concern of the cloud provider and usually not relevant to the cloud user even though the cloud user may be the owner of the virtual appliance. However, challenges may arise with the transfer of virtual appliance ownership or transfer of virtual appliances between cloud data centers.

With the rise of virtualization as a platform for hosted services provision, virtual appliances have come to provide a direct route for traditional on-premises applications to be rapidly redeployed in a software as a service SaaS mode — without requiring major application re-architecture for multi-tenancy. By decoupling the hardware and operating system infrastructure provider from the application stack provider, virtual appliances allow economies of scale on the one side to be leveraged by the economy of simplicity on the other.

Traditional approaches to SaaS, such as that touted by Salesforce. A concrete example of the virtual appliances approach to delivering SaaS is the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud EC2 — a grid of Xen hypervisor nodes coupled with the availability of pre-packaged virtual appliances in the Amazon Machine Image format. Amazon EC2 reduces the cost-barrier to the point where it becomes feasible to have each customer of a hosted SaaS solution provisioned with their own virtual appliance instance s rather than forcing them to share common instances.

Prior to EC2, single-tenant hosted models were too expensive, leading to the failure of many early ASP offerings. Furthermore, in contrast to the multi-tenancy approaches to SaaS, a virtual appliance can also be deployed on-premises for customers that need local network access to the running application, or have security requirements that a third-party hosting model does not meet.

The underlying virtualization technology also allows for rapid movement of virtual appliances instances between physical execution environments. Traditional approaches to SaaS fix the application in place on the hosted infrastructure. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
