[geeks] Question: how to profit from a Web-connected server

[Lionel Peterson]

Hi all,

I'm curious, what could be done with an Internet-connected server to generate
revenue WITHOUT any significant hands-on involvement?

For example, a Bitcoin machine would be one example, are there any others?

Assume the hardware is reasonably robust (dual quad-core Xeon w/72 Gigs RAM,
with a couple TB of RAID 1 storage available).

I'm just wondering what's possible - with CoLo costs for a 1U server w/ 5
static IP addresses in the $50 range (with some reasonable level of traffic
allotment & power costs included), and the hardware cost being $0, it seems
like there must be some way to turn this server into a money-maker.

Any thoughts?
