base64. Shit's gonna payout.
Probably one of the bigger ones so you can get some share of blocks, even if it's just for pennies. I'd use SupportXMR or MineXMR.
I see your point but cpu mining is peanuts anyway.
As for "gambling", I get @randvegeta's (and others) point but the equation sales - cost = profit is (imo anyway) akin to gambling if at least one factor is highly volatile.
I also see @jarlands point and actually think that he might be among the few percent who really know what they are doing, the market, the game, and the relevant players. Sure enough though, the large majority does not and is hence gambling or betting.
My i5-3570s is only doing about 170H/s with 3 threads. Distribution kernel, huge pages enabled, AES-NI available. xmrig and xmr-stak have the same result. Did you make any change besides those?
No other changes, just those you listed. Running Ubuntu 16.04 at the moment on that box.
To be fair, when I quoted 250+ I was only looking at what the pool was reporting the box is at, but when I get the hashrate from xmr-stak-cpu directly it's reporting 212-220.
Got request today:
"looking for cheap 10-12 E5 dual from 2620-2690 v4 rangebarely use ram or hardrive if that helpsprice per serv 40$/mo maxwill be using it for mining purposesthis price range exist at my other provider , he is just out of stock and I need morelet me know if interested to work out a dealgood day"

I read the other day someone installed a mining rig in his Tesla using all the free charging stations. Man, people are so smart (or dumb).

Jump on some new shitcoin/scamcoin and sell while it's being pumped, that'll be profitable.
I had ~$160 of AWS credits that expired on 12/31/2017, so I decided to use that mining Monero.
Used only spot instances, ofc. The GPU ones were all overpriced (& has this oddity, where many have cheaper spot prices using Windows, vs Linux.... maybe lots of people using AWS mining guides that like to throw away their money? dunno)...
The best I found was cc2.8xlarge in Oregon, which has a spot price of around 20 cents. This was about 850 hash/s. The c4.8xlarge in Canada has a spot price of ~26.25 cents & got slightly better hash/price ratio, but the servers got terminated fairly often & it was too annoying for me.
... 1) the aws billing system sucks. I thought I had cancelled all the instances with $2 left in credits, but instead I got smacked with a $40 bill.
2) I ended up with 0.689675 XMR (monero), which I sold for the equiv of $140 worth of bitcoins. Current price would net you about $135.
3) Absolutely baffled that mining on AWS was only some 30% or so loss on expenditure.
I guess it is profitable on some dedicated servers. But this shitcoin boom happened once before, on Cryptsy. This Monero, it's not worth $200/ea, laugh.
(ed: I had tons of mining hardware that I was too lazy to sell on eBay & ended up giving it all to a friend a couple of weeks ago for 50% of mining profit, or 75% of eBay when mining is done. but, yeah, i was amazed that it's profitable again, or at least it is so at 0.08/kWh elec)
Thank you so much everyone for their inputs and suggestions.
as per @jarland and @Maxsam4 suggestions, decided to try Monero and Electroneum.
Monero pools taking hell time to get single block so waiting patiently...
Electroneum on other hand is damn cheap/usd at the moment but able to get some coins.
What pools and software are you using?
Monero

Electroneum

but since they are saying, ETN is going for ICO today and coin value may go down heavily... i am trying some other coins for now.
Turns out it's exactly January 16th, 2018.

People who invest in unregulated "ICOs"... Actually, that's saying enough already
AMD FX-8320 : ~280H/s
use minergate.
It's really a sad day. I've had my share of wrongs and I'm free for everybody to flame for my lines. Lost a lot there tbh. I really can't contain my rage but somehow I have to control it and do my part in the community that will file a case towards them. I only invested what I can afford to lose but reading through /r/Bitconnect before it got ripped to a private /r, I can't help but feel really sad for people who've put their life savings in there.
Just so everybody knows, nobody ever used my referral link at all.
Hey @jezznar
It would be great if you could share today the screenshots of your profits with bitconnect. At the moment and also looking back to the time when you made this comment it really seems that Bitconnect is an excelent investment.
Are you also thinking on getting into the bitconnect ICO (https://bitconnectx.co/)? It seems a even better deal!
Keep up with the good advises!
For those who do not fully understand crypto, bitconnect was like a hosting provider offer a dedicated server plan with unlimited everything and after you pay the first month, the hosting provider will then pay you every month to have you as a client...
P.S.: Now seriously I really hope you did not lost your money and that you have learn your lesson here.
Anyone have a nice little YouTube video that shows the BitConnect scam from start to finish?
haven't been following it and saw it shutdown refunding with their shit-coins worth close to nothing now, but didn't see any article or video with a summary of the story or people behind it.
After watching the video above, surprised anyone invested in this crap. Sounds as scammy and bullshit as Herbalife.
EDIT: Alluding to some crap with 'CryptoNick' etc who deleted their affiliate videos, interested in the people who were affiliate pushing this crap. Just seems shadier and shadier.
People were following the investment advice of a 17-year-old kid.
You only have yourself, or your caretaker, to blame if you believed that 1% daily compounded interest is legitimate.
Probably the best you're going to get -

For those of you who can't read:
lol bitconnect , i hope 99999 person at least is broked the bank , how to be so idiot in invert in "dreams" 40% withowt working , put the money in my pocket and you will got 40% every month ....
Guys be realistic please....
you gotta identify the next one that is gonna take off, most of the ones right now seem to be in a bubble ready to burst. Take your chances on one getting started, and as most have already mentioned, gpu mining is the way to go now, it's an investment, you probably won't see profit for a while, so it just depends on how much you're planning to put in and how the market reacts
Yeah, right, feed the lottery...
("guys, trust me, heroine is a great thing. Those guys only died because their dealer used bad chemicals")
Do you mean the female, or the drug? Because although they act similarly on the body, they're not the same.
The drug. Though, being at that, what's the big difference (besides the drug not giving blowjobs at the nice beginning)? Both drive you insane.
They both eventually kill you- but the drug is less detrimental to you while alive.
