@ nightminer:

I pay roughly 80 Euro a month for letting the Server fold 24/7. That's electricity alone. I am not convinced this mining type deal has any real purpose what so ever.

I would need to know though how long I have to let the Server mine to get a KH value I can expect. And I need a good Linux based guide how to set it up in Ubuntu. I wouldn't want to take the Server of it's F@H purpose for more than a few hours, unless necessary.

Unless this produces $200+ a month I cannot really be interested honestly. Especially since I have people in a waiting list offering to pay 150 Euro a month if my server folds in their name. My server was build for the F@H purpose and in that it pretty much equalizes in a month what normal folding@home-people fold in a year if they're really active.

According to the calculator lixoaqui linked me to I'd need to get about 900 KH to full fill this purpose, and I will give it a go next week or so when I'm back home. It is a bit strange. As I don't fully understand where to exchange them Bitcoins in a currency I can use Smiley
