I found HOdl in late 2017 & immediately liked the idea, and the mascot reminded me of Aesop's Fables (although I like the new logo more).
At the time I had access to an unused dual Xeon rack mount server, so I threw Linux on it then added a cpu miner (can't recall which, JayDDee, TPruvot, ?) and conky colors so I could keep an eye on temps & cpu/ram loads. Got around 200Ħ/day and really enjoyed that, plus lurking around here

Whenever someone asks or posts a question about entering mining I always mention two projects: HOdl & XMG.
I like to promote both projects, but in a natural way not running around shoving it people's faces saying "Have you seen this? Do you want to miss out? You should get started today!
Ask me how..." because
nobody few people like a monorail salesman.
