Title: CPU Coin for Servers
Post by: Sooey on January 05, 2016, 12:37:26 AM
Hello, I currently have about 50 excess dedicated servers in datacenters that I'm in contract with. What are some good profitable coins for CPU mining and which pool would you guys recommend?

If you have good CPUs (AES_NI), you can mine Monero. It is very efficient to mine with CPU than with GPU.

Magicoin used to be pretty good to, don't know if it's still profitable atm...

Not if he's putting the hashrate of 50 dedicated servers via 1 pool on it. Please don't mine XMG with all those machines unless you let them run on minimal hashing speed.

Would it be best to mine a CPU coin that doesn't have any GPUs or ASICs mining it? If anyone knows the best coin I will give you 1 free dedicated server for 1 month.

Depends on the coin. XMG/Magi wouldn't make sense as it works different from other coins. The more hashrate you throw at it, the lower the block rewards will be.

XMR/Monero might be an option for you. But, that' a point for each coin: Don't use all servers on one pool, spread it over several pools.

Check out Minergate, they are mining Cryptonote coins, CPU+GPU mineable coins.
