List of VPS for CPU mining

Hi,
I am looking for a list of VPS which allow CPU/Disk-Intensive applications such as *coin mining. This could even be a filter for the list.
Please mention then and I will update the list.
linode.com (the two lowest offers are the most interesting)(thanks Mun)- digitalocean.com
- Amazon EC2 (the best offer is somewhere in the middle, the 3x, I think)
- AbusiveCores (thanks perennate)

Uh, DigitalOcean and AbusiveCores.
Edit: of course, only do this if you're looking to get a negative profit
Coin mining on any cpu doesn't work very well.. You'd need a VPS with GPU and I'm not even sure if those exist.
Depends on which coin you plan to mine
I can't think of one that you could mine on a cpu and still make profit.. Lol
I can think of one
I'll try abusive core. But I 'd like a one day trial to see if it is worth it (depends on the hashrate of their machine)
let us know how it works out!
Sure
I send them a support request for a one day trial
Do you mine FTC/Doge/SBC/Tips/DMD?
If yes, you still can get profit from it.
Scrypt coins are still profitable on CPU.
Mycustomhosting also does great for cpu mining.
Maybe if your CPU is free and the electricity is free. Oh, and also if you are mining on a "one day trial" free VPS, or are an asshole and using
Digital Oceana VPS provider's kindness manifesting in free coupons for your personal gain while making the experience miserable for your neighbors on the same VPS node.Please do all of us a favor and don't mine on a vps unless you have a dedicated core. I'm glad you made $0.05 using a $5/mo vm but in the process you make the whole node unusable for everyone else. Get a cheap dedicated server instead.
How much can you actually make from mining using the CPU and not specialist USB devices these days? I was thinking of having a go with my Kimsufi but not sure if it's worth it.
Ok not the whole node but everyone sharing a cpu with you. ..
Must admit haven't heard of the latter three, but FTC and Doge? You must be kidding me. Even XPM, which is CPU-targeted, is not really profitable anymore (and there were times when it could pay for a dedi in full with some profit left).
Let's see, all 4 cores (8 with HT) of a Xeon E3-1230 get you 44.4 kh/s.
As you say I can mine FTC and Doge. On Doge that's $1.58/month, on FTC $1.25/month.
For a 24x7 100% load of all 8 threads on a top Intel CPU.
Almost starting to feel how
Such profit, wow!
Maybe the OP has found a new weird algorithm coin that's still early in its pump-n-dump cycle. But FTC/Doge and Scrypt in general? Haha, no.
Hehehe... rm_ you need to have about 4 cores cpu x 40 vps, but it will just annoying another user/neighbour.
SBC = Stablecoin. It's having a good value, "last year". But we need have at least 20K or something.
Tips = Fedoracoin. I have about 1.000.000, but not worth it. It's just the same value as 0.001 BTC. But it's easy to mine with CPU.
DMD = Diamond coin, I get about 0.04 for exchanging it to BTC last month.
But yes, mining using GPU will get much coin, but also waste the electricity.
Edited : from the LTC hardware, there's Windows 9. How does it looks like?
I never once said I condone currency mining on a VPS. I merely stated that mining via CPU is still profitable for Scrypt.
CPU mining is not worth it.Even if you mine it on dedicated server you will only generate $2 to $3 worth of coin per month and i am talking about dogecoin don't know about others coins mining.Best thing to do is GPU mining.
Well it is speculation I suppose but in any event, please put inception hosting on the list as not crypto mining friendly.
Reasons not to CPU mine on a VPS:
1) People on the same node will suffer from your CPU raping.
2) It's not profitable above the costs of electricity or VPS per-month.
3) It's getting increasingly more difficult to mine, you should have started when the coin was new. Kinda a "too-late-now" situation.
You're just gonna cost the host more than what you would make.
Don't think you can use linode:
