Yes, mining by cpu is possible as well!
Simply install komodod and then start it with
./komodod -gen -genproclimit=(# of threads) -pubkey=""
Much easier, but far less chance of finding blocks with the amount of GPU miners already.
For anyone who missed it, the gpu mining guide is here:

I gave metaphilibert credit in my original post, but I wanted to mention fhavik for his help as well.
Take note, anyone running Komodod and KMD-nomp, can setup their own mining pool.
The guide has it setup to run locally for the miners, and the payment processing is off because there are bugs. But someone could fix it
