Hey guys!

I have roughly 1700 computers that I can mine bitcoins with. I am relatively new to the concept of bit mining and would like some suggestions on how to setup pools to maximize the amount of bitcoin I can generate. I would also like to know how much bit-coin I can expect to generate with roughly 1700 computers all having  i5 processors.

Thanks in advance!

Oh no, are you the one that placed minerd.exe trojan in my comp.... please tell me its you Tongue

As said here, dont bother. The cost of your time setting up 1700pcs will outweigh any return.

A 5ghs butterfly labs miner earns about .005 btc per day (at todays difficulty)  A cpu will be doing about 1/1000 of that.

you need to look at the difficulty, next estimate is 755745693.
better spend money trading bitcoins then spend money on miners that go obsolete in a month and losing money on the equipment.
Trading bitcoin is the trend

I call it - Mining for Miners
At this point in time, maybe not last two months but from the present I honestly think you can make MORE money selling mining hardware to suckers than actual mining itself

I would most definitely recommend this site:

http://cloud.mql5.com/ <---- no ref link

It's a distributed computing that runs MQL5, they do trading robots for exchanges. It pays me roughly $0.05 a day,

But with that many computers.... Profit!!! Smiley

Forget about mining bitcoins with those i5 computers. Not going to happen. The bitcoin difficulty is so high that you wouldn't be making a significant amount of bitcoins.

You could, however, mine another alt coin like Primecoin on those computers and sell those Primecoins off for bitcoins. That would probably be your best option.

An user to be part of a botnet has to be pretty dumb to begin with..

I have to disagree. Windows+firewall+antivirus is not enought to keep you out of malware I believe.

I need windows for games, but I expecting my comp is infected even though antivirus finds nothing.

Not really.  The vast majority of botnet nodes are older PCs usually Windows XP where the user turned off security updates.   They are getting infected from flaws there were patched 5-6 years ago on a OS that is over a decade old.

I would push it through sccm. I wouldn't have to worry about that.

I would be mining with zero cost. Obviously that is an advantage as I do not have to worry about any cost whatsoever.

Even with zero cost it is pointless.  We are talking like less than a cent per day.  If managing 1700 computers, stealing resources, dealing with crashes, is worth $0.01 per day in BTC then go ahead.

Primecoin is best for CPU because it cant be mined on GPU.

Also if you run mining programs on computer, it gets very noisy as the fan go full speed. You will loose users from this botnet quickly as they realize something is not right  Smiley

Botnet?  Cheesy
Mining Bitcoin even with 666 666 666 CPUs won't get you anywhere.

i think he can mine LTC
