Title: What to mine on over 1000 OVH servers? (CPU mining)
Post by: quads on January 27, 2020, 08:40:12 AM
I have a project where we are offering free game server hosting. It is fine and we break even or make a small profit.

We have over 1000 servers with OVH that are used for our project and many of the servers sit at 10%-20% resource usage.

We are thinking that if we can mine them with idle resources, we can recover a little bit for the bottom line.

The servers are all pretty beefy for single core performance, mostly i7-6700k CPUs or similar.

Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

With CPU, use RandomX on monero

But you will probably break down your network with hard load.

That is definitely quite a bit of processing power! These days the hot CPU mineable coin is Monero if you're looking for what I call bread and butter. It won't make you much but it will pay the bills or you can speculate mine essentially - newer project that you believe in and has a lot of growth potential. It's all about your risk tolerances and how much information you can dig up on some of these newer projects.

If you're interested in speculating into a newer project that I would look into https://veruscoin.io/

It's one of the most profitable CPU mineable coins available and you can stake what you mine for a 28% yearly Roi.

Considering you're in the gaming industry this may be a good platform as well to look at.

Verus is what I consider a blockchain 4.0 it is going to allow for Mass adoption and and they are continuously putting out some of the most revolutionary Tech I've ever seen in blockchain.

This video focuses on one major Tech release that happened recently but I also skim the surface of a lot of other technology and potential that it has.
