I'm the owner of a mid sized solar powered company with I think a good few hundred cpus and servers. I've been wondering if there is such a software I can install on all my machines that during off business hours will start mining for me and stop during normal business hours?

Anyone know if there is a way to do so? These are all windows based.

Even though your power is free through solar, I don't think you would make enough to cover the shortened life of your equipment.

Why are so many people operating under the misconception that solar power is free? It is not!
In fact, it is one of the most expensive forms of electrical energy currently available barring some outrageously generous government incentives. It is alleged to prolong the life of the planet however.

He said he already had solar power running his business and was looking to earn in the downtime. Not that he was buying a new solar setup. That would suggest free to me as the solar setup is already in place.

And some states have pretty good incentives in place to help lessen the huge cost of a solar setup.

i think you can to try to install software from minergate and trying to mining the coins like bcn, xdn, etc, xmr, and else. i think you can get a nice results as you have hundred of cpus and servers so in a month, you can have much of amount from each servers. or you can use wallet from applebyte to mining abby but you need to install the wallet in your cpu.

Really isn't a way to make money mining anymore it seems.

Mining can still be profitable with the right equipment. You need to own ASICs not CPUs.

For example, a single Antminer S9 from BITMAIN can calculate 14 Thash/s. With that you can generate about $8.64 per day.

Ugh I'd be happy even if it made 1-2$ a day per pc. Heck at $300/day who would argue that? So much wide spread info on the subject of mining. It's so hard to learn what's legit and what's bs.

I'm not sure what CPUs you have.

Lets assume you have five hundred units of AMD A10-5800K 3.8Ghz.

In that case, each CPU will be able to perform approximately 105 Mhash/s.

If you simultaneously run 500 of those, you'll generate about 52.5 Ghash/s.

At the current exchange rate, these 500 CPUs will generate nearly $0.03 per day total (not per PC) if you run them 24 hours per day. If you are only running them 12 hours per day, then your total revenue will be closer to $0.015 per day.

Of course, you'll be running those CPUs at 100% continuously, so they'll draw quite a bit of electricity. You'll probably spend $0.20 per day per PC ($100 per day total) if you are running them 24 hours per day mining bitcoins, and $0.10 per day per PC ($50 total) if you are only running them 12 hours per day.

So, you get to choose.

Mine bitcoins with them 24 hours per day and lose $99.97 per day.
Or mine bitcoins with them 12 hours per day and only lose $49.985 per day.
Or don't mine bitcoins with CPUs and lose $0.00 per day.

Currently you'd need 1.62 TH/s to gross $1 a day, excluding electricity and other costs. I can't think of any PC or GPU that can do that. A high-end server doing double SHA256 CPU mining can only manage a few hundred MH/s.

You're not going to mine Bitcoin for sure. You should move this to the altcoin mining section. See lower left of screen for the move feature.
