Bitcoin Forum

Good morning people,

I'm new to the forum and I'm trying to raise some money to help with the month's bills.

Where I work, some computers are idle and connected all day without any use. I wondered if there was any way to harness them to mine some crypto[Suspicious link removed]d are the total 37 computers: i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10Ghz with 4gb ram.

All with internet access.

The company network is a little closed so there are not all the sites and programs that I can access. I also do not want to harm the company in any way (I love this place).

With the vast knowledge of you, considering that I have no cost with this equipment, is it possible to raise some money?

I work about 10 hours a day, but I can not stand still operating the operation (if at all possible), but I can use my interval to check, so I'm looking for something that is automatic.

Is there such a possibility

Assuming you don't have the owner's permission to use his computers for mining, using company resources for personal gain is called embezzlement, is considered financial fraud, and can be punishable by legal action.  Not to mention you will very likely lose your job if your boss finds out, putting you in an even tougher financial situation.

But to answer your question, yes there are plenty of coins which can be mined with CPUs and GPUs.

I have the authorization. as long as you leave the monitors turned off. And it's no program that needs to pause the protection system (MacAfee).

Can you tell me one that I can mine with CPUs?

Someone?

The simplest miner that can get u going by simply downloading and running is probably Nicehash.

You're lucky that you have authorization, but make sure you've discussed the risks to whomever authorized you. For one, the CPUs will be running at full force meaning they will consume more power and temperature will be much hotter. There is a risk that if your CPUs are not well ventilated they will overheat and die. Even if they don't overheat enough to die, the lifespan of those CPUs will still probably decline still because of heavy usage.

Nicehash is really easy to configure to mine Cpu and Gpu coins in your case Cpu coins but keep in mind that with that software and your processor i3 second gen you will only make about 0.03 dollars for each computer so you will make just a bit more than 1 dollar daily which I don't think it can impact your life but as long as you have authorization you can use your idle computers,just make an exception for Nicehash in your antivirus software.

After starting to mine a little, check the hash rates, the consumption and make your calculations. Because if you are not careful you or your employer may have to pay for electricity more than the crypto gains.

I cant even believe that the company owner/employer do authorize OP on making such operation which utilizing the units for his own gains and come to

think CPU mining(most likely on these casis) does use up huge % cpu power which isnt really good for its employees even if its configurable it can really affect
their usual work and im sure with that.

Might be a harsh comment but its pointless to consider this one.

You wont make much with cpu mining. Dont risk your Job.

GPU's for mining have warranty of 2 years. If you push it to the limit, they hardly last the two or maximum three years. (a lot manufacturers cancel the warranty if they can see the GPU's were used to mine.)

So if you calculate the costs of purchasing a rig, estimating the time that GPU's will work, they're still not profitable now. And there is no use mining if it barely costs electricity costs cause you're only tearing the GPU.

Also, don't forget that difficulty increases every day which also effects the outcome. It would be considered actually possible if you're willing to gamble that the price will increase.

Much better to just buy the coins in stead of investing much more and trying to mine it.
