BitCoin Mining With A VPS

Web VPS

First off, are you stupid to think that it will go well?

I did some tests today, for kicks and giggles to see what you can get out of using a CPU miner, since I know of no VPS providers that stick an idle 600$ GPU in there setups, I assume we all would be using CPU mining.

Here is my test server specs:

root@Dragon:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo 
processor   : 0
vendor_id   : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 6
model       : 15
model name  : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5345  @ 2.33GHz
stepping    : 7
microcode   : 0x67
cpu MHz     : 2333.000
cache size  : 4096 KB
physical id : 0
siblings    : 4
core id     : 0
cpu cores   : 4
apicid      : 0
initial apicid  : 0
fpu     : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level : 10
wp      : yes
flags       : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm dca lahf_lm dtherm tpr_shadow
bogomips    : 4655.46
clflush size    : 64
cache_alignment : 64
address sizes   : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
power management:

8 Cores in total.

I get roughly 3071Khash/s per core. Thus 8 * 3000 equals about 2mhash/s, which is really slow. My old GTX250 gets around 30mhash/s, and my 570 gets about 130mhash/s as a point of comparison.

After a whole day I have done roughly 700 parts. Over a month that would be 21,000 parts.

Sadly though, 5,000 parts equals about 0.01$ at current value, thus over a full month of processing I would garner about 0.04-5$. Thus on a 7$ vps you would loose 6.95$ by running a bit miner.

Please don't use your VPS for mining, it is just a waste of your money.
