Also Mining BCN on Miners gate with a Spare Core you never know how the coin might increase in the Future Grin

Yes, this is what in my mind. Since BCN dev has returned and development looks quite active, and yet this is the first coin that use cryptonight, may put some hope on it.

cpu mining is profitable same as gpu

as i mentioned before the fx8300 (around 110euro) does 350-400hs on monero if you have 2 of them you been faster than an rx470 but with a bit more power
and at current gpu prices it s cheaper for same performance

an if you keep your monero and sell when price get up (like now) it s definitely profitable

i had athlon 160u on my rings, i change them all for fx8300 it s like i have a hole ring more now

Hi,

You can do Merged Mining Dogecoin and Litceoin.

Verium is a CPU only minable coin.

I noticed this coin last week, never tried out yet. The price is good at USD2++, algorithm uses Scrypt^2. How's the ROI?

I'm currently using 2 free cores of my mining machine to mine BCN at minergate, I know it is not worth, but just mined to keep. I'm curious to know if any other good cpu coin in 2017?

Hi,

ist there a coin profitable to mine with cpu?

Thanks

Dont why you guys even discussing this but CPU mining wont be profitable now onwards.
Not altcoin not bitcoin nothing can be mined with it having profits. You can profit or should i mention you can hope to profit only if you have completely free electricity and cold room. To be honest technically everything is advanced now and when you mine you have to compete the market who are mining at the rate of hundred times more than you.

Just being honest guys, have you ever thought of this practically, all thr hash rates and electricity bills, thr damage to your CPU etc . There are many more stuff involved which shall be taken in consideration

For cpu this is not the time for sure.

You can try Winminer to see if it works for you

Hey folk! I have been looking into buying a cheap mining rig

I found a cheap rx 470 and bought it right away. Planning to mine Ubiq with the GPU. To offset investment costs I went looking for a very cheap second hand decent pc. I found a few, with different cpu's and price ranges

The i7 930 (cheapest) (idle system power 112W*, peak system power 240W**, does have 2nd PCI-e slot on mobo so I can connect more vid cards if i can get my hands on some)
FX 6100 (more expensive, don't have details on mobo yet,idle system power 99W, peak system power 225W, 220MHS on monero)
FX 8150 (most expensive, dont have details on mobo yet, idle system power 100W, peak system power 252W, 330MHS on monero)

* +** idle and peak system power numbers are plucked from benchmarking sites to benchmark the CPU real load through socket meter

I pay 0.1799$ per/kwh

So is CPU mining combined with GPU mining unprofitable in these cases?
Should I not try mining with these CPU's and go for the cheapest option, the i7 930 or for the little more expensive, but lower idle power FX 6100.
Or should i try to mine monero for example on my 6100 or 8150, while using the GPU to mine UBIQ?

Orrrrr should i keep looking and find a cheap celeron with a tdp of 35W.

I've been mucking around with different coins in MPH to yield more bling and seem to default back to XZC for CPU. Although the recent jump in difficulty was not the most interesting things to see. Turned out a group of individuals found a way to manipulate with Amazon AWS service. Go figure!

So with current 5-5.5k difficulty and 2.3 MH/s, MPH is rewarding the user with 0.25 XZC/Day (which at the time of writing is 2.29 USD).

To compare the above with others while having the same CPU setup:
Grosetlcoin: 200-500 difficulty, 3.5 GRS/Day, 0.43 USD
Zclassic: ~40k dificulty, 0.18 ZCL/Day, 0.24 USD
Granite: so bad ... wrong algo
and so on...

Even without patiently waiting for larger statistics/data sets to analyse XZC is a good option. Zcoin is officially deemed as CPU-friendly anyway.

If you are now wondering is mining with CPU profitable - no.

depend what cpu

fx8300 oc is actually not bad 2 = bit faster than an r9380 if you keep the monero to sell next year or so definitely profitable then

Well let's see what new coins maybe bringing for possibilities.. the current known ones are mineable but just do not bring any revenue with a cpu...

I tried CPU mining (XMR and BCN) for the past 6 hours on minergate. all i can say is, not worth the time and waste of electricity. Im using my Own Personal PC, AMD APU A8 7600 and im only getting 40 - 44 H/s using 50% load on my CPU. i dont know why my Built in GPU R7 is not recognized by minergate or my PC is not really design for CPU mining.

The CPU mining are very dependent of the L3 cache.

Monero for example need 2mb for thread.. and Celerons, I3... usually have very small L3 cache.

if you wanna do mining with cpu and gpu

it s actually very simple, i don't know why people never think about this
it s actuality oblivious for me

just put your cpu miner in task manager to idle (or at lease lower than normal) and it can use all your cores
and it won't slow down your gpu's

This is a very goos and simple advice :-).

The problem is that the majority of miners RIG are build over the cheapests Celerons and those Celerons with a low priority in the task manager are mining quasi nothing with XMR (and a lot of others coins : too slow).
If you want CPUmine with your RIG, don't buy a so cheap Celeron (choose a Core i3 ot higher).

For CPU only try XMR or KRB coins , but the best option will be Winminer , it will select automatically algo option for your hardware and select the most profitable coin.

If you have a CPU only and a stable internet that you can leave for 24x7, I would recommend that you just do Proof of Stake (PoS). PoS doesn't overburden your CPU and internet connection as well. Research on Stratis, Radium and DeepOnion for PoS. Only downside is you need to purchase the coins that you need to stake.

I've tried CPU mining Monero thru a 10Mb internet line, using even the cheapest and fastest pool and it still won't profitable. It will take 3 months before I will be able to transfer .03 XMR to my wallet It also overworks the computer and consumes the bandwidth.

good point Pos are more profitable if you have a good stable internet instead of buying expensive equipment better to use the money to buy alts which have a big possibilities to increase its value in such time, like mate said stratis can be consider and i think eth will also will turn into Pos though still a
rumors and no finals statement yet.

find the speed of you cpu and do the math

but i think it s not really profitable, unless you have free electricity
probably need 10-12 month to pay back your setup

i i change the cpu of my rings, but you need to buy hole computer

Hello . This thread got my attention as i think i can get 4 CPUS Xeon E7-4870 for roughly $1300. Though i don't know if i can find a mobo to put those beasts on . Do you guys think it is proffitable to mine something with such a setup ? 40 cores / 80 threads at 2,4 GHz / 2,8GHz with turbo boost . power consumption would be around 700 W i think .
