I'm interested in mining HODL on a VPS, does vultr or digitalocean care about the constant 100% CPU usage?

Has any of you gotten a dispute over it? if not, how has the mining been going in terms of hashrate? I have $20 lying around to spend on a VPS.

I haven't seen too much back lash from mining on these services.. but you should read all the terms.. that out of the way.. your best bet would be Vultr.. Hash is subjective.. so I cant give you a nice chart but on avg. we are seeing ~15h/s per vCPU/core

Ah, so it'd be similar to mining HODL on my i5-4590. I get around 80 h/sec with 1GB assigned, I have tried running with 2GB, I did not see an improvement even after adding up the halved hashrate.
So far I've found two blocks within a day and that was two weeks ago (CPU was running at 80C) Grin

Since then I've ordered a heatsink and it's been running at 40C at full load, I could keep my PC running all day long mining HODL, I'm interested what are the chances of finding a block with such hardware, I've read that you guys were sometimes really lucky to find 6 blocks in a day with a VPS.

Though it's fun being part of a fair mining competition, compared to an altcoin launch that uses a SHA256/SCRYPT POW.

Adding up all the costs, I'd say mining HODL is profitable in the long run, though I'm really new to all of this.

If anyone is mining on a laptop or desktop, a high CPU temperature is what you should be worried about, get a cheap heatsink for your PC, if you're on a laptop, clean the dust out and make sure it has a good airflow so it doesn't overheat.

Well 6 blocks per day right now is running many servers.. like 56 vCPU

Edit: sry I was a way off.. 56 vCPU is more like 13 blocks per day
