Title: Unused vps
Post by: asimpledeveloper on September 08, 2019, 11:44:50 AM
Hi guys.

I've got a linode account with a vps with 8 core (the cpu is an amd epyc 32 core).
How I can use it for crypto? Is this configuration profitable?

Right now there is nothing worth CPU mining at all. Even if you got a few free hours. The setup won't even be worth the little reward you will get for it.

If the VPS has some high end GPU then you might make some decent money mining something like ETH which makes almost 50 cents a day however most VPS don't have a high end GPU.

Also since its a VPS, you might get banned for mining. Generally you are not allowed to use 100% CPU usage because the VPS is sometimes shared with others and you will slow down the load for everybody else, and it usually results in a ban.

Check your VPS provider's ToS first. These days they instantly ban anything related to cryptomining on VPS.
