I got a lot of servers laying around. They have really powerful cpu's but horrible gpu's so mining doesn't work that well. is there an easy method of making money with cpu intensive workloads?

coin mining is not feasible with regular hardware, I would say just sell them.

You can setup a website, although a single server or two would be enough for that.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Yeah I host minecraft servers for 12 year olds. but still. at night when the little's are asleep. all the systems are in use. I'm just looking for something (similar to mining) just making money with processing power. not relying on customers.

You're going to have to find a coin that can, because of memory requirements, be only calculated on the CPU.

 

Then you have to hope that the coin has some actual value...

It's the only answer bud.

 

Coin mining ain't gunna be worth your time.

 

Also, do you think if there was a way to make money that people would tell you?

Yes they would. The more people that know about a money making method, the more people do it.

 

The more people who do it, the less money there is to be made by it.

 

Why do you think BitCoin mining is obsolete?

Minecraft servers can bring in decent amounts of money. Of course over time more servers would be added.

They only bring in money if done right. If you are one of those servers who charges $100's for a rank and have all these boring rules and just aren't fun. Well good luck, have fun.

That is in case you make something. Like a coin you generate. I know the law of request/demand. but such as Manny Calavera said, game servers. those don't lose value that fast.

You can also rent them out to small businesses - just make sure you can provide some sort of warranty and that if anything happens to the rented servers you can get a backup online in less than an hour. Unfortunately there is no direct way of generating revenue with cpu power that I know of.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

run folding at home with them and join our team. it doesn't bring in money but it's what I'd do. I know you want money but really minecraft ot web server hosting is the best thing you can do with them. maybe try and set up a cloud storage service? that's all I got. renting them out to people who would need them is also a good idea.

I am a member of the PCMasterRace. I am terribly sad to announce that I own a PeasantStation 3 Super Slim. it's in a drawer away from my glorious PC.
