Title: new miner Post by: hbitz on February 28, 2014, 03:12:45 PM hi.. i have an IBM x3650 M4 with windows server 2008 sitting doing nothing so i was thinking of using it as a miner. I wanted to get an idea of how many H/s i can expect out of this server.
Appreciate any help. ;D Title: Re: new miner Post by: guybrushthreepwood on February 28, 2014, 03:16:36 PM There are calculators online. Just google or search for one on here/

You should look for CPU only altcoins ;) Title: Re: new miner Post by: hbitz on February 28, 2014, 03:21:07 PM There are calculators online. Just google or search for one on here/ the calc i found needed hash per sec which im tryna figure out.. :( Title: Re: new miner Post by: hbitz on February 28, 2014, 03:28:08 PM hi.. i have an IBM x3650 M4 with windows server 2008 sitting doing nothing so i was thinking of using it as a miner.

I think using cpu or gpu unusable for this time :) Title: Re: new miner Post by: Colin Miner on February 28, 2014, 06:23:38 PM hi.. i have an IBM x3650 M4 with windows server 2008 sitting doing nothing so i was thinking of using it as a miner.

You will mine as close to zero bitcoins as you can get, without actually being zero bitcoins. If you factor in the cost of electricity (if you have to pay for it), you will actually be making a loss :'( If your hardware is redundant, have you considered selling it and using some of the funds to buy, say a handfull of USB antminers from ebay (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575000824&toolid=10001&campid=5337427080&customid=&icep_item=271364055094&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg), which will at least mine some fraction bitcoin during their life and a good introduction to mining. |
