Not BitCoin (before someone posts this)

How much would someone even stand to make running Bitcoin hashing 24/7 in this scenario? Not much I'd imagine.

Why not?

It's not very efficient compared to specialized mining hardware. I haven't done the math but your return will probably be <<1% of the credits.

Well, it's free servers, so whatever he can get out of them will be good.

I believe (from rumours of friends) that most servers actually ban bitcoin mining on their system anyway.

Only the naive believe something is "free"

I can run two machines with 64GB RAM & 20 Core CPUs for the whole year 24/7. Do you still think the return will be less than 1%? I am just wondering how others do mining.

Bitcoin mining is done with clusters of specially designed ASICs these days. GPU mining, let alone CPU mining, isn't viable by a long shot. I'd be shocked if you got any payout at all from a mining pool with it.

Much much less than 1%

[intrepidkarthi]

is there a reason?
