Topic: Mining Bitcoin OR Litcoin (Read 9467 times)
If you really want to start mining and want to make profit it's better nowadays to mine litecoin!
I would say LTC , BTC is now waste of time 
this is amazing!!! i would love to work there!!! you should definitely mine primecoin!!! with those cpus you could probable solomine with this!! good luck,

just mine cpu only coins.
Heh! Reading down this thread I missed the age of it, 3 BTC a month out of a few i7s, what crack is that guy on???
However, in terms of $$$ if cashed right away, you might actually do "better" nowadays on XPM I wanna say you can get at least one a day per i7 and they're worth a couple of bucks so $200 a day, vs $200 a month at what the BTC prices were like then.
However, still not sure that pays for the electricity.
Since 2012, I wanna say the middle of 2013 sometime, there was an Open CL driver released for some of the intel HD graphics, this may mean scrypt performance is much improved, but still you may find the CPU coins more profitable. Although depending on how much CPU time the scrypt implementation steals you might be able to do both.

Fu.. , why didnt i start mining back in 2012 
lol ... you haven't started? That was a bad decision. I feel sorry for you
quite interesting reading above:
3btc per month at the very least since I only did math with only Core i7 2600K and 13btc at the most.
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#Intel I don't know how many of which you have.
only 3btc / 39USD ? What a waste of cpu power https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#Intel I don't know how many of which you have.
38 x i7 2600k and 11 x i7 3930k
but still u can mine other alt coin, or try List of CPU-ONLY AltCoins

Personally I'm doing litecoin.
why not run both? doesnt ltc run off cpu? so you could just have the cpu and gpu going at the same time i feel like.
I agree with the above.
If it really won't cost you anything more to run the CPUs at 100%, you may as well mine litecoins and exchange them for BTC (or USD) if that's what you want. Be careful with the memory though... mining litecoins uses a lot more memory than mining bitcoins.

I administer a dedicate server 'farm', around 50 high-end dedicated servers, i7 2600k / i7 3930k processors, no GPU cards (integrated only).
(I don't think integrated graphics supports OpenCL)

.....5.81536395189BTC
Mr.Spock It seems?Why the precision?
Why not round it off at the 8 digits that bitcoin clients are limited to?
...
I can't do ALL the work.

38 x i7 2600k and 11 x i7 3930k
684kh/z + 732.6kh/z = 1416.6
1416.6kh/z = 32.85516357 LTC per day
32.85516357 LTC * 30 = 985.6549071LTC per month
985.6549071LTC = 5.81536395189BTC
Nothing stops them.
One more noob question not related to the original post, what stops rogue bot herders from mining from hundreds of thousands infected servers ?

How much can be made with this setup, mining Litcoins ?! $5/month ? $50/month $500/month ? more ? Give me an approximate amount please
If you mine BTC you make almost nothing. With litecoin you should be able to make something.
You'll only get anything with ltc because the difficulty is quite low. Don't have the numbers in front of me but its clear regardless that ltc will be the better choice.
