Yesterday, after 48 hours of running my steem engine (miner), I pulled the plug. I had fueled the engine with 8 GB of ram and 4 CPU's at a cost of $80 / month at DigitalOcean.com. This was generating an average of 7K hash power. I will mothball my engine and bring it out when I want to play with other new features.
