i recently got lifetime vps with 8gb ram and 8 cpu cores. is there any altcoins to mine that will be profitable and would there be any problem mining on vps. Thanks in advance. I am newbie here, sorry if i happened to post in wrong section or something. 
If your VPS provider allow mining on their servers then you can try mining CPU altcoins to see how much you can earn and see if its profitable for you.Try mining only if mining is allowed by host and don't try to mine GPU or ASIC coins, but CPU mineable coins only.
