 \textbf{Cryptocurrency} is a digital currency that is designed to use cryptography to secure and verify its transactions. Cryptocurrencies are decentralized as opposed to traditional money transaction systems used in the banks. Decentralization is established by using distributed blockchain that functions as a transaction database within the currency. First cryptocurrency available was Bitcoin \cite{farell2015analysis}.

 \subsubsection{Solo mining}
+\label{cha:solomining}
 Represents "all or nothing" approach when it comes to the rewarding system. As solo miner's hash rate has to compete against all other solo miners as well as big pools, the chance of solving the block is rather small \cite{cong2018decentralized}.
 
 On the other side, when solo miner solves the block successfully, the whole block reward is assigned to the mining address. With high-end, multiple GPU setup, the miner can achieve about 3.2 Kh/s; this would mean chance about 0.46 \% of "winning" the block reward.

+\label{cha:webmining}
 CryptoNight algorithm mining stands out above others in the way how cryptocurrency can be mined. For Monero there are JavaScript-based miners like CoinHive available, that results in individual websites embedding this script and mining using the visitor's resources. 
 
 This can result up to 300 hashes per second for users with powerful CPUs and is a viable alternative to advertisements when visitors spend more than 10 minutes on the website \cite{papadopoulos2018truth}. Typical examples of this approach are warez websites offering free online movies and torrent trackers.

 \section{Automation}
 Automation is a key aspect for designing and running IT operations that are secure, up-to-date, scalable and easy to maintain. To do that, the proposed mining node provisioning scheme is divided into two parts, first being OS installation with early configuration and second is the automated configuration of provisioned nodes using Ansible. Workflow is described in the Figure \ref{pict:deployment-workflow}.
