I guess best CPU would be Xeon or Opteron?

Ha! "tailored for bitcoin mining"
Shouldn't that be Litecoin not Bitcoin?

Bitcoin GPU or CPU mining is definitely not profitable.

Litecoin on the other hand has a lot of potential. I would say a 4 GPU Litecoin rig could prove to be quite profitable.

I think the question has kind of been answered elsewhere. Don't buy a mining rig, it is a waste of money. Cloud mine with hundreds of servers when it is profitable, and turn them off when it's not. No outlay and masses of mining power.

Hmm... so what's up with all these people investing in CPU rigs?


Mining PTS

Is PTS still profitable now?

I don't know if those CPU coin can stay CPU only forever. The community seems to always have a way to do it on GPU instead.... so it is still a risk...

Is mining primecoin profitable?
I can't even find it on http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

The website is for GPU mining...

Link me one for CPU mining then...

I don't think there is one... but Primecoin is going to be a GPU coin soon...

If you are going to buy CPUs, make sure they have AVX2 instructions and are overclock friendly like the i7-4770k

Google for benchmarks on Primecoin, Quark or Protoshares

Are you interested in CPU only or CPU + GPU?

Essentially I could like to buy a new PC.  Whilst doing that it would be good if it happened to be good for mining.  I won't be starting a GPU farm anytime soon and doubt I will ever buy an ASIC.

I am also interested in mining future CPU coins.  Is there a simple way to get a great increase in mining speed, assuming you don't have a botnet available to you!
Or is it just as easy as getting an fast CPU and lots of memory?
