Title: How To Use Web Hosting Servers to Mine for bitcoins FAST? Post by: iGROWyourBiz on December 07, 2013, 08:59:50 PM Hello,
I am new to mining (2 days) i have a question about mining I am a web host that owns multiple servers. None are ever allowed to be maxed out in capacity. Is there a tutorial on how to efficiently mine using a web server (they generally have terrible graphics cards but plenty of processing power) I am guessing that a good miner will use whatever capacity is available on the server 24/7 (i already pay for electric on it!) During peak times it would mine less, and off times mine more. Is anyone doing this? I am a part of the slusch pool service currently. So I am thinking i could set up a new worker on each server. Anyone think it could mine enough to cover the cost of a server and i could actually dedicate servers to this? Thanks in advance Title: Re: How To Use Web Hosting Servers to Mine for bitcoins FAST?

You may test the hash-rates of your server in sha-256 and scrypt (for Litecoin and others) using some multi-threaded miner, such as cpuminer ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/files/ , http://github.com/pooler/cpuminer ), and make calculations based on this test. Its more likely that sha-256 mining will not be profitable, but scrypt mining may be. This answers may be helpful also: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/9637/fastest-cpu-miner But anyway I am not experienced in CPU mining :) Title: Re: How To Use Web Hosting Servers to Mine for bitcoins FAST?

I've tested it with my servers with 2 CPU Xeons 8 cores and I got better hashrate with my workstation based on core i7. Why don't you try to setup a mining pool with your web servers?
