Hi Guys,

i'm new to this and want some help. i know these answers are spread across the forums but berried deep in 100's of posts and i wanted a fair assessment and comparison of some existing hardware i have from the expert community.

So i have the following at my disposal.

Several Servers with XEON Processor - 10+ cores
2 socket, E5-2630 v4 2.2GHz, 10 cores (total 20 cores + hyper-threading)

I have old Butterfly ASIC miner 7GH/s

I can get hold of K1 and K2 grid GPU by Nvidia

So my question is, is any of this gear worth the effort? whats coins could i mine with profit for each option? and whats my expected profit?

Thanks for all your help!

You'll have to go altcoin with that stuff, though you could point the butterfly at a solo pool, ck's comes to mind.

1.  Read the forum rules
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.msg24714338#msg24714338

2.  Post in the altcoin section as VRobb suggested.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

what to mine depends on your mining habits.
If you need daily profits whattomine is good or you can search for alt ann section of new coins.
research you coin first and read carefully the details about it.believe and hodl it.
I used to mine sumo but i switched to dero after they published the future code.
if you are looking for new blockchain and more than just fork of old coin go to dero.
 DERO: Privacy + Smart Contracts + Lightning Fast Transactions, like monero + ethereum
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2525508

you can use cpus to mine dero.
