Those two threads not used by the cpu miner are used by the gpu miner for two RX 480's'

The gpu's from the same pc, the one that is my daily use pc that I am using to type this, here is the comparison.

So the dual xeons have a tiny bit better performance than the two RX480's and using less wattage.

So yes I am interested. LOL

You can try Zoin, from not so old currencyies this is good CPU token at list.

Ok so Magi coin is a viable CPU mining coin? By viable, I mean the income exceeds to cost of electricity in most spaces.

I've been thinking about this for a while too - I have a GPU mining rig and since that is running all day I may as well have the CPU mining something on the side (even if it is a little ole Pentium).

Open to further suggestions/hearing other peoples experiences.

What coin you can mine with CPU?

Magi coin XMG is still a CPU-only coin, already 3 years old. It may worth to add it to the list.

I also do now and then CPU mining, since I used to have a computer which sometimes I need to leave it running for days. But (strangely?) the coins I prefer to mine are not CPU-only coins, because the CPU-only coins are too cheap on exchanges. And lately the alts have fallen even more...

Anyhow, cloning a coin only for experiments may not worth it.

Why would they ban it, as long as company pays for used resources? It's even in their best interest, especially when mining using AWS is not profitable at all.

Anyone tried renting cpus from amazon and mining?
Just curious.

I wonder how many would be interested in a coin that focuses on CPU-mining? I think that it is possible to clone an existing coin and change it so the GPU and Pool-mining is not profitable. It obviously requires some tests and experiments. But it must be possible.
