So for fun, as I had a bunch of older webservers lying on the racks (e3 xeons mostly) I decided I would try out cpu mining while I wait for clients to purchase them or I thought I'd simply run them to use up the spare power and rackspace I have.
I setup xmr-stak on centos (it's the distro I'm most familiar with), found a monero pool, signed up via mymonero and started mining. Didn't take much work at all tbh, though figuring out what you can mine and what to mine and what software to mine with was more work than actually setting up the miners.
Man, 20 servers produce almost nothing huh?
The hashrate the pool see's is between 5.1kh/s and 5.9kh/s. In 2 days I've earned 0.0134788755 XMR.
Woohoo!
I have a couple 1070 gpu's that I was considering simply selling to earn a few bucks. Is it worth while to use them for mining? I do have several racks of servers I colocate gear in for my webhosting company and I have plenty of space and power left....
Would love some feedback as I am a complete beginner here.
Thanks!
