How To Use Web Hosting Servers to Mine for bitcoins FAST?

[iGROWyourBiz]

Hello,

I am new to mining (2 days)

i have a question about mining

I am a web host that owns multiple servers.  None are ever allowed to be maxed out in capacity.

Is there a tutorial on how to efficiently mine using a web server (they generally have terrible graphics cards but plenty of processing power)

I am guessing that a good miner will use whatever capacity is available on the server 24/7 (i already pay for electric on it!)

During peak times it would mine less, and off times mine more.

Is anyone doing this?

I am a part of the slusch pool service currently. So I am thinking i could set up a new worker on each server. 

Anyone think it could mine enough to cover the cost of a server and i could actually dedicate servers to this?

Thanks in advance

Hello, I am new to mining also (near a week), and have absolutely no experience in CPU mining

You may test the hash-rates of your server in sha-256 and scrypt (for Litecoin and others)
using some multi-threaded miner, such as cpuminer ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/files/ , http://github.com/pooler/cpuminer ),
and make calculations based on this test.

Its more likely that sha-256 mining will not be profitable, but scrypt mining may be.

But anyway I am not experienced in CPU mining

i can say that CPU mining it's not profitable.
I've tested it with my servers with 2 CPU Xeons 8 cores and I got better hashrate with my workstation based on core i7.

Why don't you try to setup a mining pool with your web servers?

Hey OP, try mining Primecoins or YAC coins, They are cpu efficient and will give you great profit.
