Is this profitable?
4 comments

If it was I can promise you amazon would be out of gpu instances.
The readme shows roughly 4.5 Mh/s which might get you maybe $10/month if you're lucky.

A g2.2xlarge will cost you $0.65/hour.

So, no, it's not anywhere remotely close to profitable -- unless you've stolen some AWS credentials or (like what's apparently happening here) you get others to mine for you and eat the AWS costs.

Yes but likely only for the guy who has the private key hard coded in the config.
No
