Travel to 2035 when decent current technology will be about $20/mo.
Honest question, do you expect to make more than $20 a month CPU mining or is this just for fun?
Definitely expect more than $20. I optimized the code so it is quite possible I could make more than $20 as long as the coin price maintains in the same level.
This is not a joke
. I am expecting 8-16 cpu (>2.6Ghz with avx support ). Any recommendation?
And I expect to get a lambo off my collection of shitcoins, we're all a little fucked in a head in our own special way.

I'll give you
488-16 vCores @ 100Mhz each for $20.Exceeding a load of 1 for more than 15 minutes will get you terminated though.
Thanks for your offer. The cpu freq is too low. Also I do not know how to guarantee the load. Using cpulimit? Anyway, thanks, I will not take it.
I admire your optimism but isn't the mining algorithm the bottleneck and not the mining software itself? How can having a more optimized mining software make "solving" the hash easier?
There are some specific cpu minable (asic/gpu resistant) coins. I am only interested in two of them and do a profit switch code and optimized one of the hashing algorithms to get 5-10% speed advantage.

It seems scaleway is cheap. Anyone has experience with it? Does the starter vps allow cpu mining? What is the cpu freq for x86 64bit Cores? Thanks in advance. I could give it a try.
This looks interesting. I will go check.
... let me guess. Monero and ZCash?
At least 50% right. Use Monero as a backup for profit switch.
Scaleway's Starter VPS runs on Avoton C2750 @2.4GHz and it does not support AVX you asked for. The whole idea is quite fishy, especially the part about "coin price maintains in the same level"
No.
I can't imagine any VPS provider giving you an offer for this. You can try the dirt-cheap OVH dedis, but I feel like even they'll get pretty upset at you for drawing that much power.
Indeed. If you Max out a CPU, power costs would be around $30-$40/Month.
Go fuck yourself. If mining is profitable, why providers sell you servers instead of mining on their own?
How can you determine the hash-rate of a CPU miner for Monero?
Well as a provider, mining may add additional workload that may not be profitable from a labor perspective.
For one, there are hundreds of Cryptocoins out there and some may be profitable to mine and others may not. It's certainly easier to just rent out servers and not think about it rather than trying to find which coins are best mined by which CPU. And then you still have to sell those coins for real money to pay all the electricity bills.
If $20 /month server rental yields $10 profit, then maybe it's worth it to someone who's making it his/her work to actually earn a living off that, but not necessarily the for the Data Centre.
Think of it this way.
People rent dedicated servers to sell shared hosting and Virtual Servers? Why do Data Centres still rent out dedicated servers when they can make more selling shared / virtual servers directly to the end users? It's actually kind of similar.

Isn't this just for Windows?
It is possible to use linux mining software with their stratums.

Oh it's no issue to get mining. I just wanted to know if there was an easy and simple to use app that I could use to effectively 'benchmark' various CPUs to see what kind of hashrate is possible.
I setup an i3-4130 and now getting 90.61H/s. Probably not profitable :-)
Interesting.. I'm getting a lower hash rate from an E3-1230v5 than I am from an i3-4130. The E3-1230v5 is 2 years newer, has twice as many cores and threads and cost more than twice as much.
How odd..
something is off with your software config....
I'm using identical config for both test rigs. Everything but hardware is identical.
