There are coins out there that can be mined with a CPU but to be honest, I must say that CPU mining is not at all profitable.
The current generation's CPUs are quite good and performs well in PCs but it is not that good when it comes to mining coins.
Although GPU mining is quite profitable if we have a good GPU mining rig but CPU mining won't profit us much.

Right now, there will be a shift of POW which requires tons and tons of GPU in order to survive in the fierce competition to POS. Even ethereum is also going towards that directions. With POS, even CPU is able to handle it and it is more about ownership of the amount of tokens. If you have tokens and you hold on to it for a longer period of  time, you will gain more. If you have more tokens than others, you will also gain more.

Are there coins which you could mine with CPU so that it would be profitable?



Mining the coins with CPU is no longer profitable guys. But with CPU you could mine many coins such as monero, zcash, litecoin, ethereum, dash, infinity coin, fantom coin and much more. Some of these coins can even be mined over your phone!! However as we know everything depends on the hash rates and solution per seconds given by your CPU. Today's difficulty is so much that even with i7 cores you can mine with 20 sol/s and 25 H/s rates which is just not sufficient enough to copup with the today's mining rate. You can do it for the fun anyway.

I've been running a test on Riecoin profitability for a little over 1 week now.

Mining pool: https://ublock.it
Machine specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz 8GB DDR3 (laptop CPU TDP 47 W)

Power consumption measured at wall ~94 Watts

Weekly power cost @ 11 cents KW/h = $2


RIC generated in 1 week


99.7 RIC = $6.24 USD at current market price

Still testing other higher end CPU's < 100 watt TDP, should have an update soon on i7 4770k

Riecoin thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annric-riecoin-constellations-pow-cpu-hard-fork-successful-world-record-446703


I will check out the Rie coin. However I do not have any machines with high end CPU so will get much less coins.

There are some coins that you can mine with CPU.

Biblepay is CPU only algo.
Myriad and Unitus using Yescrypt algo.

Also I believe this topic should be posted on Mining section.

I mine Verium Reserve with a couple of Odroids (VRM is a "CPU only" coin).  It's barely profitable, and only because the Odroid uses so little electricity.  It's more of a hobby anyway, not looking to get rich off mining.

please try to work with ARM coin that the developer offering chance as connecting to pool server with different use of manage as the use of hash script with the bridge of composite as receiving share of coins with the dedicated worker acc.

Oh my people!!!! are you wanna throwing your cpu into the thrash?  Please don't use your cpu to mine anything and your cpu should be burned as fast as possible. The only possible thing for you to get a penny from your cpu mine but that was involving high risk about the possibility to burn your own cpu. that was really bad idea.


What a load of gibberish,  CPUs and GPUs are designed to be thrashed at 100% for 24/7 for years without deteriorating significantly.

Repeated heating and cooling cycles is a more serious consideration where it come to wearing out Semiconducter devices...



But as mentioned,  one of your best bets is monero,  don't think it will be profitable though.    I'd consider it a straight trade of money in electricity for monero coins.

What CPU are you considering using for this so we can figure out whether you would manage to break even...

I don't think CPU mining is profitable anymore. You can just mine a newly released currency when the difficulty is too low and hold till it gets a value.

The best one right now is Monero (XMR), it is on the CryptoNight  algoritm, which is designed for the CPU mining, also there is a lot of other coins that you can mine, which are not so profitable right now, but the best way is to mine Monero, and if you want some other coin to have just buy it on exchange from the income.

List of prefarable CPU Coins: Aaon, Darckcoin... yet steal but among it's disadventages that you can't determine the hash speed.

Thank you! I will check these!

No, I don't want to burn my CPU! I am looking for coins which are designed for CPU and not GPU or ASICS.

There are a lot of coins that can be mine with CPU specially bitcoin but it is not profitable for now because it can harm or burn your computers CPU.
Just try alternative way just like GPU and it can mine more types of altcoins.

Yes, I know that you could mine even BTC with CPU but it is not profitable and I also know that there is GPU option (not for BTC though). BUT my question was that is there coins which would have such POW algorithm that you could CPU.
