Managed servers
(From a host

're doing
, then you get it handled for you

Yes
you could
S
Smokey
β’
6/4/24, 3:38 PM
but it
's also a 500 dollar upfront cost
S
stolzb2
β’

S

β’
6/4/24, 3:38 PM
and most businesses spend more than 500 dollars on a server
S
Smokey
β’
6/4/24, 3:38 PM
since they use racks
, etc

I mean you could mine bitcoin and run the server on it at the same time assuming the mining method is GPU based only

True

so you
'd have to be doing it all on your own which is slow as hell without an ASIC

But mining these days is pointless
, you may as well just buy a chunk of NRG or something
, stake it and host a node
