Topic: What to do with an unused VPS? (Read 1632 times)
NaN.
Paid for a month, have no use for it anymore.
Host porn on it.
You can also turn it into a seedbox
Resell them or give away for charity
That's insane how I like this kind of things: just a VPS, a Bitcoin node, a web page with connections count and blockchain size and I'm happy
I have some linode credits rotting, so I just installed bitcoind. Might put a page up too. Given the drop in the cost of VPS service relative to a single bitcoin, it might be worth reupping eventually...
Disclaimer: Linode has a history of being hacked and Bitcoin users have lost a lot of money when Linode has been hacked. Don't keep any wallets on Linode if you like having coins.

Thank you for the donation.
Also made a home page - http://198.50.215.67
Had to restart the client, connections are down to 9 atm.

Thank you for helping to strengthen the network. It looks like it shouldn't be too long before it syncs up and starts giving back.

Sent a small tip to your signature address. Keep it running and I might send more substantial coin your way later... Who knows maybe you should put up a quick web page on the server with a little bit about what you do in bitcoin with an address for donations to keep this honest node running in a data center.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I think you sent that tip to a wrong address (1LvidkzdhiZwjc2AfhwuQX3KH5w7EPwgne). I'll put up a web page soon.
Great 
Only 12 connections?

18 now. It's still only a few hours old.
Thanks for pointing that out: 21beca713ccb463e5ac969325cb50b783baa4d5ef69f5be9f89f75f93f3b3765

Bitcoin node
Pretty good idea actually. The network could always use more full nodes and most VPS systems will be in data centers and positioned to be good peers, just don't use it to keep a wallet with actual coins.

Put a BTC private key on the server, and set up a "Hack this website" challenge. First one to the key gets the bounty.
Seconded. I'm down for a game of Capture-the-Key.

I also have a month of unused VPS, and 1.5 months worth of VPN service. I'll leave them to expire 
Or you can run something usefull on it.
VPN,IRC,some forum etc.
For only 1.5 month?
How that can be useful?
If it gets successful, you can ask donations and run it for more time.
give it to me.... or start a mining pool
