Well... I guess you can be lucky... If you would mine a new CPU minable coin before prices go up, you might actually make some $$$.
However, i tried most of the existing CPU minable coins, and could not make enough cash to make the whole setup worth my effort...

Did you try Monero. It is more efficient to mine with CPU than GPU.

I checked hashes for hi spec processors and GPUs; The GPUs can be much faster.

Just to try this one out, i've installed the yac miner on my server... Using the calculator on https://moneropool.com/#, i would make about $5/month... Embarrassed

Better than the altcoins i've tried before, but not really profitable enough to invest any time into mining i'm afraid

I'm just a newbie, but i already tried this several times:
XMG, RIC,..
Most i made was $2/month with CPU mining on a dedicated quad core, 8 threads 16 Gb ram intel XEON blade server... I stopped CPU mining altogether since it required a lot of time and effort to make $2/month...

I also tried memorycoin and BURST... Same story i'm afraid.

Things might differ if you want to GPU mine, but that requires a lot more configuration, witch i wasn't willing to do on a webserver

Hey, wondering how much mining can VPS with total 9.6ghz and 3gb ram do. Running one small website on this server, just made it tor and btc node, do u think it would be possible to squeeze in monero miner and get 10$month in order to cover VPS costs? Thanks for help and ideas!
