Enable CPU Monero mining on Eth miners #16

Closed LaZyDK closed 2 years ago

LaZyDK commented 2 years ago

I want to propose that we also use the CPU resources on these spot instances while mining Ethereum. This can be done by spinning up something like XMRig and connecting it to a Monero wallet.

I played with xmrig running in parallel with ethminer but only earned a few cents per day. Looks like a waste of time. Perhaps a different CPU-minable coin?

Thanks for testing. I believe that you are right - it is too little of a gain to mess with. Just more parts that can break.
