I old altcoin miner/trader and I heard a lot about the VPS mining for CPU only algorithms altcoins that can only be mined with cpu .. a lot of people talk about how profitable it is for some alts and its free to use..but seem there is no guide out there to show how to or whatever , I would like some help on that matter and is it really free to use and that profitable ... you can see some cpu based altcoins having like 5000 or 6000 workers at pools I'm sure not even the number of people supporting it .
By my calculations it's not profitable -- https://hmage.net/minerstats.php#vps_vultr_5mo
You get $0.07/day at best on cheapest plans. That's only 2.1$/month, while the VPS costs $5/month.
