Topic: Is anyone still CPU mining? (Read 2332 times)
If you're CPU Mining, try mining FTC not BTC. BTC CPU mining isn't worth it anymore.
i'm mining YACs with CPU while using GPU for other currencies
im building my first miner today , i was cpu mining on my laptop for an hour haahah its a 2005 dell so my kHz was at .02 lol
I'v got an unused server mining at a whopping30 kh/s. Wow! 
thats the issue with a cpu only coin , botnets and cloud services. The Idea to have a more even field than with GPUs or specialized hardware is nice but everything has its upsides and downsides.
To bad YAC is being taken over by the Amazon cloud users. There are some user with insane hashrates using the Amazon cloud services to get that much hashing power.
By the way, I've been wondering, what's a good hashrate for mining BTC?
cpu mining for YAC here 
Yeah. YAC is good for cpu =) Or for next gen amd apu with shared memory between cpu and gpu
cpu mining for YAC here
AMD FX 8120 shows 50 khash/s more for litecoins, it is good enough for background mining.
I am guessing those people with AMD's APUs would still be - they get ~100mH/s because of the IGP. Or people who don't have a good GPU.
Only with AMD APUs.
Could do an alt coin that has a lower diff...
So from this thread I gather that CPU mining is basically useless nowadays..
CPU bitcoin mining is not viable long time ago...
Still, may be you can give a try to alternative scrypt-based cryptocoins if you have access to a good bunch of cores and you don't pay the power bill.

Stopped two weeks ago.
with a good CPU and litecoins AND free electricity it might be worth it. Best to spring for a GPU though at any rate.
Pretty much... I mean electricity is marginal where I live. CPU mining, as posted before, just isn't viable anymore. 
Not only is CPU mining illogical, it's near impossible for a newbie.
I'm a newbie and I'm cpumining LTC and FTC. It took me a couple hours to figure it out but it's working !
Ok I'm waiting for a GPU now but I learned many things trying to make it work.
...realize it's not profitable...
I earned 0.003 LTC and 0.04 FTC

Not only is CPU mining illogical, it's near impossible for a newbie. I tried to set it up just for a laugh, and I couldn't even figure out how to get it going without a GPU (which I don't have) and gave up after a short while. I'm sure I *could* get it going, but it definitely has been made very tough to do for a newbie - if you're savvy enough to get it working, you are DEF savvy enough to realize it's not profitable, which is a good thing, will save people time and money.
