Is it possible to mine CPU through VPS such as DigitalOcean? I pretty sure it is possible. Does anybody know how to do it?

Click the link to find a step by step tutorial (even a linux-noob like me got it working with it) and also a great CPU coin that you can mine Wink

Do some ROI most VPS it cost more then you make.

Also it could have stopped but DO was pretty anti-miner.  If they saw heavy cpu usage you had to submit all kinds of info so they knew who you were.  Not sure if they got better or not.

Yes you can but you will pay more for the VPS monthly then you will make revenue mining.
 Even with a fast CPU.

Plus most VPS are shared and you cant use 100% CPU usage.

Mining Magi with VPS worked, but Digital Ocean after short time cut down the ressources and I got way less hashrate than before. Vultr.com still works fine and gives even a bit more power than DO.

Mining is not only about ROI. If you only believe in short time ROI, better give up. Or mine a coin you believe in and make profit when value goes up.

What CPU coin are you mining?  I just have not seen one in a while that make sense to mine.

What CPU coin are you mining?  I just have not seen one in a while that make sense to mine.   

The coin is called Magi (XMG), CPU only mining, listed at several exchanges (including Bittrex and Polo), big community, honest dev (7 star rating). A coin for everyone.
