Will be launched the 20/12/2017 afternoon (GMT). Stay tuned
Can anyone (from any country) order or its for EU only??
Should be able to order from any country. Yet, it will be only on FR website, or through link that @Leonn has published in this topic (taking the ref and adding it at the end of URL from another kimsufi website)
Afternoon is a broad definition
Anything more specific maybe? Where did you find it?
Thanks. any good gui clients for mining XMR? Thanks.
GUI clients? You're going to waste them precious hashes on a GUI?!
What would be a good non-GUI then? And is there any good pool to mine?
I use xmrig. Usually get a slightly higher hash rate over xmr-stak. Not sure about pools to join as I use a solo pool.
Look at all of you scrubs wasting CPU power on buttcoins while I'm kicking ass on RC5.
Just curious, what would be the advantage to solo-mine though? I thought that's much slower (even compare to the share you'd get from a pool)?
Genuinely curious as I am looking to do this to get some coins to subsidize my server costs (on dedis of course).
It's slower indeed, but the whole block is yours when you get one (6+ XMR). It's more of a lottery too as you need to get lucky to get a block. I got 2 in my first month of mining so I stuck with it.
If you want to pursue it, use monero-stratum to spin up your solo pool. But if your total hash rate among your machines is low (<2.5kh/s), then it'd be better to stick with a public pool.
How many machines and cpu (cores) you used to get 2 blocks in one month?
I have two dual e5-2670 servers at home doing most of the work (1kH/s each) and various other dedis that could spare some cycles. My total hash rate is typically between 3k and 4.5k depending on what's running at the time. But I think it had more to do with luck than anything else.
ok cool thanks for explaining
Oh you mean pool fee? The fee usually is very low. I am using supportxmr and the fee just 0.6%.
Any benefit over public pool?
today 20 December 2017 GMT :
still Désolé, ce serveur est en cours de réapprovisionnement.
Yup, I wonder what time zone they're using.
Kinda sucks it's for their France datacenter only.
Cheapest location, of course.
Even I want a shit cheap Kimsufi once in a while.
For the US link I get "loading please wait" followed by nothing. For the other links it goes to "being restocked" after a while.
BHS one is priced normally still, I doubt they would do it if they haven't taken the time to update main site price, there's also no flash sale page for the NA site.
So yeah, oh well.
I expected I could rent Canada, that's sucks if only France available
France is interesting because it would let me upgrade my KS-2E for pretty cheap. In fact I could probably pay the difference by mining, though that's tacky enough that I probably wouldn't.
Never get a dedicated before since I don't really need it, thinking to get one for backup purposes and at the same time mining crypto to cover part of the cost, but is this counted as abuse?
I know there isn't any neighbour but it will consume more electricity etc. I can't really find the AUP on Kimsufi website, I am still thinking on how to make use of the 16GB RAM
Of course not. It's a dedi. You can consume all the resources there are including CPU. How you do that is nobodies business.
Basically I can do anything as long as I don't abuse their network or attack other servers? But how about grey area like cracking an encrypted file?
I hope there is a link to their AUP, I can't find it stated anywhere on the website.
There is nothing about this is in the AUP. I can tell you this without even looking. It might somehow fall under illegal activity depending on laws and stuff but in the end noone cares as they can't see what your server is doing. So as long as there are no complaints you can practically do whatever you want.
The policy you're looking for is on the page below, in the document called Special Conditions for Kimsufi Servers (Article 7):
