Thanks for this clarify, I really appreciate that. I have around 50 web servers and looking to profit from using them. I checked the GitHub project and it looks too old.
Is there any new way, to make it possible?
Well, if you have 50 webservers, i'd probably use them to do what they were supposed to do: web hosting...
Really.
If you run miners on these servers, you'll take a big performance hit, and the server's primary function will be downgraded.
One of the only profitable, stable, cpu-minable coins is monero. Sure, you can mine some new, unknown coin and hope it's exchange rate will skyrocket, but that's basically a form of betting. Now, if you want to look at monero, i'd suggest looking here:
https://monerobenchmarks.info/The highest performant CPU seems to be the AMD EPYC 7742, hashing @ 44000 H/s while drawing 225 Watt.
This means, if you had a server farm of 50 servers with such cpu's, you'd hash a 2200000 H/s, making about 0.013 BTC/day (~$120)
The retail price of 50 of such processors is $375.000, not counting all other hardware you'd need (just the processors), you would burn 8,5 Mwh, and you'd make $3600/month, but from these $3600 you'd need to pay off your hardware cost and electricity cost, and you should realise that when hashing at these speeds, the system will be rendered useless for anything else. $3600 sounds like a lot, but it's the best case scenario and you'll defenatly won't be able to break even... I mean, you'd need close to a million dollars in hardware and burn 8,5 MegaWatt a month...
Odds are you don't have EPYC 7742 processors, so your hashrate will be a lot lower, and your power consumption might be higher...
Bottom line: not worth it... If you have a server meanth for web hosting, use it for web hosting... Accept a couple more clients and accept crypto as a payment sollution... Makes a lot more than overheating those precious machines by trying to mine.
