Topic: Campus Mining for a social good (Read 208 times)
You cannot equate hashrate between different coins, let alone different algorithms. You need to find out the hashrate of a particular algorithm and then use a site like www.whattomine.com to get an idea of how much that hashrate could net on a particular coin (based on the difficulty and exchange rate at that time only).
My school has agreed to lend their computers for my student group to mine altcoins for a social good. We plan to donate all profits to a charity. We have access to hundreds of computers to mine over the summer and winter break.
These computers are running on:
Windows 10 Enterprise
Intel i7-4790 3.6GHz
8 GM RAM
We don't have any funds for GPUs, so we are thinking about sticking with CPU intensive coins.
What suggestions would you guys have to fully take advantage of this scenario?

You could mine cryptonight based coins & do pretty well.
Wouldn't monero get me like 200 h/s? That seems very slow to me. I was thinking something along the lines of magi or zcoin.
Nice!
When you get it up and running do you mind sharing that address you are mining to?
I mean it would be really nice to see how much money is flowing into social good and charity.

Electroneum is hugely profitable right now. You could also mine Monero or AEON as good alternatives. I haven't tested it myself, but Biblepay is supposedly profitable for CPU mining and it's definitely in line with supporting charity (they sponsor orphans).
