Crypto mining dedicated server — RandomX on whole cores

CPU mining is accepted on dedicated tiers only: a 9950X does ~25 kH/s on RandomX (XMRig, Oct 2026). Forge $49 list / $39.20 annual-eff. Not an ASIC host.

Mining is allowed here — on one condition

The AUP draws a clean line: RandomX-class CPU mining is an accepted workload on dedicated tiers and is not allowed on shared VPS plates, where neighbours pay for the same cores you would be boiling. Metal starts at Forge, $49 list / $39.20/mo annual-eff — a Ryzen 9 9950X whose 16 Zen 5 cores are yours alone — rented with a token instead of an ID, the silicon that Monero VPS tenants share, minus the sharing. In XMRig's validated benchmark the 9950X does about 25 kH/s on RandomX (xmrig.com, checked October 2026); tuned boards with fast DDR5 land in the mid-20s sustained.

Equally honest about what this is not: no GPU rigs, no ASIC hosting, no watt-metered colocation. This is CPU mining on a rented whole machine, and Monero is the coin it mines best.

Which tier the miner actually wants

RandomX cares about cores, memory bandwidth and huge pages more than peak clocks, which is why the 9950X fights above its price class and why ECC on Summit and Monolith trades a little hashrate for stability on a box that never reboots. Pool traffic is trivial — kilobits — so the 1 Gbps port is never the bottleneck; board thermals and your own power math off-rack are. And the box stays a general-purpose dedicated server between mining windows — the same chassis rents on BTC or USDT invoices if XMR is not your treasury coin.

The math before you deploy

At ~25 kH/s and October 2026 XMR prices, a 9950X rarely out-earns its $39.20 annual-eff bill on mining alone — the honest framing is that mining is baseline yield on a machine you rent for other reasons, not an ROI product. Public RandomX benchmark tables (xmrig.com) let you price your own power assumptions; ours stay on the host's side of the meter.

Operational notes: run the miner unprivileged, pin huge pages at boot, and watch board temps — a sustained load on a 16-core part is a thermal test first. The AUP that permits mining still bars abuse from the same box; a compromised miner spamming the net is a ticket nobody wants.

Payment rails for a mining box are the usual nineteen coins; Monero invoices on metal close the loop — the machine mines the coin that can pay for it, with 10 confirmations in about 20 minutes. Sizing help lives on the dedicated catalog page.

Power, thermals and what the host meters

The port is unmetered and pool traffic is kilobits, so bandwidth never appears on your bill — the real constraints are thermal and financial. A 9950X at full RandomX load is a sustained all-core test: good airflow, stock power limits, and board temps watched in IPMI keep it stable for months. Power sits on the host's side of the meter at the rack, which is the whole economic argument of renting versus colocation for a single-CPU miner.

The network page lists peering and latency to major pools; sub-millisecond pool RTTs matter less than uptime, but they are free here.

AUP boundaries, stated before they bite

Mining is allowed; mining as cover for abuse is not. A compromised box running a miner plus spam, scanning or proxy abuse is an abuse case first and a mining case never — keep the miner unprivileged, patched and monitored like any other service. Coin-switching pools that expect GPU or ASIC work are a configuration error on this hardware, not an upsell.

The honest bottom line stays: metal for mining here is a Monero-first play, and the broader no-ID posture is documented on the no-KYC hub — neither converts a rented rack into an anything-goes box.
