Virtual Machine Nexus NXS 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?
My laptop specs: MSI GT80 Titan 2x Nvidia GTX970M 4x SSDs (2TB, 1TB, 2x 512GB) Intel® Skylake i7-6820HK 64GB RAM This laptop is also the only laptop that can have it's RAM, GPU, and SSD upgraded. Other laptops can only upgrade RAM and the SSD, which is a huge difference. ZClassic ZCL Mining With Gtx 1070 on this page. 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. If you spend a few hours reading the threads, because your new, you will soon figure out that unless your power is less than.15 kw/h its really hard to make a profit never mind a return on investment. 3Mh/s is not enough to make any ethereum, not to mention most pools won't even recognize 3Mh/s. 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. I only get 3MHs on my 980m laptop. I didn't answer your question, but I feel I gave you a reference for your 970m. That is good enough, as long as it can be done.
I already have 5 ETH coming to my coinbase account(supports Ethereum wallet), and I'm planning in investing in cloud mining for Ethereum. So this is really just an extra boost in income of ETH but do tell me how to set one up Cloud mining is a no no, you WILL NOT MAKE MONEY from cloud mining. 3 mh/s is nothing, most pools won't even let you mine with 3 mh/s.

From a gamer's perspective, there is a software called 3DAnalyze that basically temporarily turns RAM into a virtual graphic card and let games use that. In my normal operations on this laptop, I probably wouldn't even use more than 10GB of my RAM.
I haven't found any software that is for non gaming purpose but does the same thing with 3DAnalyze.

The Nexus Community: 1. What principles does Nexus abide?
Nexus operates under the following overarching principles: Respect Respecting ourselves and others brings greater cooperation and growth, building strong relationships and stronger communities. Knowledge Through knowledge we are able to discover the mysteries of the universe, gain a greater understanding of those around us, and let go of the fears that hold us back. The pursuit of knowledge is an adventure that brings us amazing discoveries which enrich our everyday lives. Honesty Honesty and transparency foster trust between people, which helps us make better decisions in all aspects of our lives and enables us to be our authentic selves. Honesty cultivates our awareness of the reality around us and improves our communication with others. Freedom Pursuing our individual goals and following our passions, without being censored or needlessly hampered, is true freedom.
When people voluntarily associate with each other, respecting the principle of ownership, we are able to reach our potential and find true happiness. Freedom is a positive-sum game; a win-win for all people across the globe. Who is building Nexus? The Nexus blockchain is being developed by the Nexus Earth Embassy, a registered nonprofit organization in the United States of America. The Embassy is funded through the Nexus Ambassador Fund. The Core team members are: • Colin Cantrell (Videlicet), Founder / Software Engineer / Software Architect / Nexus Embassy Founding Director • Preston Smith (pdogg147), Nexus Embassy Founding Director / Community Manager / Public Relations • Keith F.
About the life expectancy of a cubesat, generally, cubesats have an expected operational lifetime of 25 years. I imagine that, once the cubesat infrastructure is in place, and if it can perform to expectations, that governments, companies and individuals would have incentive to install ground receiver stations. Failing that, it is possible that this too will eventually come out of the ambassador fund. The ambassador keys are, as the FAQ says, funded by a 20% commission from each block reward. The ambassador keys are controlled by the Nexus Embassy's board of directors to cover certain costs. • • • • • • •.
