Hey guys .. nice forum post, looks like there right place to post.

Anyway .. lets say you can get a server with 128 cores .. and you mine primecoin at current rates, what would be a good average earnings per day?

Or something like 8 x 8core server. 64 cores.

Its only like 700 swiss francs .. thats around $500 USD i think .. will the machine pay for it self anytime soon ?? :-)

Would it be enough to cover energy cost?

It's hard coz I can't seem to find good cpu mining calculators.

I like the idea of primecoin or CPU coins, but is idea just going to cost me money?

Thanks guys

You bumped a thread that was over 7 months old, which in crypto terms is almost 3 decades old. CPU mining more or less ended when XPM has GPUs take over the hash. I mined XPM on CPUs until Feb, after that it became pointless.

Your 128 core server can't compete with GPUs. Look at the alt mining subforum and you will find Claymore's GPU miner for XPM. CPU mining would not even cover power costs (also XPM is tanking in price).
