Title: Server mining info
Post by: cmf on November 23, 2013, 08:32:29 AM
So I have access to a small server room, around 100 computers each with several Xeon processors with multiple cores. I think in total 3.5k processors.

I can use these servers for free.

What's the best thing to do with them to try and mine Btc?

Any help or advice would be very helpful

Thanks Chris

The best thing you can do is ... don't try.  It will be a  massive waste of effort.  Even stealing computing time and racking up a massive power bill for someone else will only net you a few pennies worth of Bitcoins.  It is a good way to turn a thousand dollars in electricity into a buck worth of bitcoins.

maybe it would be better to mine litecoin in that case.

Why do you this. Surely it would mine a fair amount given the amount of processors?

More thank 0.5 Btc a month?
