I'm curious if this CPU power from Evernode could potentially be harnessed for Bitcoin mining. Is it a viable option?
Imho it's not. CPU mining, even with strong CPUs, will not provide a meaningful hash rate. For Bitcoin you need ASICs.
However, with some luck you might find altcoins that can still be mined on CPU (and for that you have to ask in Altcoins area).
Just keep in mind that most probably you'll be breaking some rules/ToS/whatever if you do this.
The interesting part is that there are 8000 available vps's so a high hash rate may not be necessary considering how many there are. Thanks for letting me know about the rules and for your insight
