Title: Some Questions Post by: pghbsa on February 20, 2013, 02:11:31 PM I plan on using a VPS very low specs but i want to use a pool. What would my return be? Keep in mind i don't really care if i get fraction or a coin.
THe VPS will be ubuntu linux or Debian What is a good CPU miner for linux since it will be a VPS i wont have access to the graphics card... Basically i just want a set up that will return coins or fractions of a coin, don't care how long it takes.... any ideas? Title: Re: Some Questions Post by: debianlinux on February 20, 2013, 02:22:18 PM I am relatively certain that if you peg the CPU on a VPS you will find your account terminated.

Title: Re: Some Questions Post by: Aahzman on February 20, 2013, 03:15:22 PM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=15918.0 <-- start here. Lots of info about bitcoin, mining, wallets, etc.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140578.0 <-- then this. ASIC discussion. Don't waste any money before you come far more informed about bitcoin, the economy around it, and the scene/community. Title: Re: Some Questions Post by: mjc on February 20, 2013, 03:25:48 PM You should be able to make 0.0001 BTC /day until ASIC comes along, then it'll be about 1/50 or 1/100th of that.
Here's why: http://bitcoinsbs.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/how-much-mhash-does-it-take-to-mine-1-btc/ Title: Re: Some Questions Post by: k22k on February 20, 2013, 11:06:44 PM you are wasting your time trying to mine via a vps. If you have a decent graphics card you can do some mining just to get the feel for it but you probably won't make profit.
ASIC's are basically computers designed for a specific application, in this case bitcoin mining or doing the hashes so they are a lot faster than even top graphics card gpu's and also use a lot less power. But there is a waiting list for all the current ones on sale I think so if you ordered now you might have to wait a few months and by then it may not be worthwhile.

You're about two years too late. You'd get pennies a week, if even. You would mine an amount equal to about a hundredth of the cost of the electricity you'd be using. |
