Hi Everyone,

I work in finance not a computer whiz at all but I got a buddy who has 240 gh/s dell server, what can we do this if anything at all?

Thanks everyone,
Hank Hill

Mine, and hope to pull a profit. Install a miner like CGminer or for Windows GUI people, *shudder*, GUIMiner, and set it up to use a pool like bitcoin.cz.

Anyway, are you sure the server is really 240GH? It's more likely 240GB which has nothing to do with mining power.

It says 240 gh/s now can just mine scrypt coins or are servers only for SHA-256

A server's a server. It can do most hash calculations, though at varying speeds. Try mining both (not at the same time Grin)and see how your luck holds out.

I'd be more specific but the details you give are too vague.

Post a photo or two of the rig and I'm sure you'll have all the major components, hash rate specifics, etc. spit out by a fine member of the community within hours I suspect Smiley

*Assuming this isn't a misunderstanding of some sort. Find it kinda strange for finance guy to be looking into purchasing a mining rig...unless your getting a sweet deal on it. Anyway, good luck.

you can probably play Duke Nukem on it. Bitcoin mining, not so much.

I forgot to get pics(I had to be working at the same time) but they are Dell P1800 servers what do you guys think apparently there 10,000 in the room and the room was intense to say the least.

Thank you all once again.

How big is this room? I doubt 10,000, though it's quite possible as we still barely know what we're dealing with.

A Dell PowerEdge 1800 with a 2.4GHz CPU? You can't really mine anything on that. You're best bet is to sell it on ebay, and buy some dedicated hashing hardware: either a GPU for Litecoin or an ASIC for Bitcoin.

Dam it I was really hoping this would go through, but thank you for your fast response. Other than selling it is there anything at all  mining related I could do with it? If no mining at all is possible there has to be some other application for alternative currency related I can use this hardware for to get some money from.
