Title: help with vps mining Post by: J0HN3F1V3 on April 03, 2017, 12:54:44 PM I'm looking for some help mining on a vps,
I have some free credit on digital ocean so i was thinking of trying to mine for educational purposes. I would like to know what coins would be good for vps mining and how to set it up. It would have to be a cpu coin not a GPU. And i would like to know if solo mining would be better over pool mining. This is for educational purposes so I'm not to bothered about profitability Any help is greatly appreciated Title: Re: help with vps mining Post by: Soylent on April 03, 2017, 01:09:51 PM I used to mine Monero with minergate when I had a lot of RDP servers at low cost but anyway it wasn't much profitabe.

The VPS that I used mainly cost around $3-4 per year so it wasn't worth it unless you have thousands of them.

I believe it is forbidden to mine, as that falls under "Excessive use of our materials" see; https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/can-i-mine-bitcoins-from-my-droplet https://i.imgur.com/1WXDKTl.png ^^Screenshot from reddit where a user got banned for cloudmining on Digital ocean.

With a VPS, you are sharing the hardware with other users and they normally set caps on the amount of resources you can use. And it simply isn't worth the time to mine with a CPU, it won't be profitable and is very slow.

They will kick you out and you won't earn anything worth resources and time.Title: Re: help with vps mining Post by: AdolfinWolf on April 05, 2017, 12:10:05 PM Yeah, I don't recommend attempting to mine on a VPS.

Have a look at a few altcoin announcements and see what you find. Keep in mind most vps dont allow mining. High CPU usage is not allowed Title: Re: help with vps mining Post by: J0HN3F1V3 on April 06, 2017, 12:22:00 PM I'm looking for some help mining on a vps, I have some free credit on digital ocean so i was thinking of trying to mine for educational purposes.

I guess I'll have to find some other use for my free vps |
