Topic: CPU only mining dead? (Read 8084 times)
if you talking about mining bitcoin with cpu then yes its dead but still you can mine some cpu mine able coins with your cpu like quark but there are many just search for cpu coins and you will find many of them
Neither seem to be dominated by bot-farmers. I mainly see AWS jumping in and out - fair enough in my view.
How do you see AWS? No bot farmers, does that mean people can do cryptonote hashing by hand?
word in the pipes is about merged mining for BCR, that is something i would like to see happen, can it even be merged?
Don't forget the two Cryptonote coins, both with market caps over 1M$
Bytecoin http://bytecoin.org/
Monero http://www.monero.cc/
Monero has an especially high hash rate. Both are ideally suited to CPU mining although GPU is possible on Radeon and Nvidia. Neither seem to be dominated by bot-farmers. I mainly see AWS jumping in and out - fair enough in my view.

There are still coins easier to mine. I wish I could mine XMR with CPU and worth it, but I cannot. Still, sometimes I buy it, maybe it will have better days.

Coinshield has a CPU Mining Channel searching for Large Prime Clusters [~308 Digits]

There is a new class of mining assets, less than 2 weeks old.

Bitcredits looing good-
momentum has the issue of closed source miners, if you can pass that hurdle, you are home free.
yeah, thats actually a big hurdle since none of them share their source code.
@ hack_ noirshares 2.0 is no longer cpu only, someone figured out gpu mining and has been doing it quietly.

how exactly is he "abusing" the coin?
there is "use" and "abuse", please clearly define what you are saying. And of course lets not forget your reasoning that access to a botnet//server farm//as-many-computers-as-i-can == ILLEGAL BOTNET.
This is not an ethics discussion, it's mostly for those with a passion for CPU mining, GPU discussion is allowed since they are treated the same nowadays.

Botnet operator - spreads his malware and gets coins for free. Dumps them for whatever the price is. Regular miners compete with someone with free electricity and hardware.
GPU/ASIC mining - spends money for hardware and electricity. Miners compete with one another by investing, and they sell at good prices. They also stop mining at low prices reducing difficulty.
CPU mining was nice before everything got all crazy, it would be nice to have a coin stick to CPU mining and be well distributed
CPU mining is not good for any coin as it can be taken over by botnets. The coin has to quickly evolve to at least support GPU to survive.
and mining with gpu's is better how? Ever heard of a GPU farm?
GPU farm VS BOTNET VS ASIC
it is like comparing a tractor, a bus and lambo
They are all vehicles but each tailored to complete a task. an ILLEGAL BOTNET is something to discuss, but not any Tom Dick and Harry that has access/owns server farms or thousands of desktop computers.
In a GPU farm or an ASIC operation, they pay for the hardware and electricity from their own pocket. A botnet operator does no such think and can abuse the coin as much as possible for free.

I built Coinshield with a CPU Mining Channel looking for Dense Prime Clusters, and a GPU Mining Channel using SK-1024 hashing algorithm [Skein-1024, Keccak-1600].
Each channel operates independent of one another, each being awarded 50% of the time released supply and utilizing their own difficulty re-targeting.
Thank You,

This is what i'm talking about!!!
let me take a look

hack_ can you post your performance figures for momentum, or maybe link them to me?
PM
