Hi, I need to mine a small amount of bitcoins per month, equal to just $100/month to pay for my bitcoin expenses.
I don't have the time to 'learn' the process, I just want to pay someone that will set it up for me, tell me exactly what VPS I'll need, what software I must have, and just explain how to set it up and answer basic questions.
Please let me know if anyone is interested in helping and how much you will charge, feel free to PM me as well
Well, you can't mine bitcoin on a VPS, unless you have physical access to the server running the VPS. And in this case, you'll just use your VPS to run your ASIC.
To mine $100 worth of
BTC, you'll need to buy an ASIC. I think you'll probably need at least 5 antminer S3's to do the job (depending on your electricity rate). (EDIT: or at least 2 antminer S5's, or 15 S1's,...)
Mind you: you'll probably have a really hard time ROI'ing (recuperating the hardware cost + electricity cost), since the cost of an S3 is to high for the income you'll probably make with the ASIC
EDIT:
here are antminer's specs (given the S3's specs as example, the other ones can be found via google... You can also search for spondoolies or avalons specs):
