So no CPU or GPU mining possible profitably.

There are some CPU and GPU which is profitable but your electricity need to be dirt cheap...

'

Dirt cheap as in free. CPU and GPU mining is for the nostalgic or college kids that have the university paying for electricity. The mining industry has matured beyond CPUs and GPU.

I'm afraid you're right - its kind of scary isn't it? Wasn't one of the key concepts of all crytpo-currency that everyone 'owns' it and was able to mine it? That way there are 'millions' of peers rather then a few big 'monopolies' that 'controlling' the currency. Everyday it seems like there are fewer and fewer (bitcoin) miners and most other currencies are following suit... Is a crypto-world safe with only a few dozen 'big' miners? I've been pondering it for quite awhile...

The decentralisation was one of the main objectives of crypto coins.
But now its already centralised, in some months it will become a completely centralised one.

But it will remain decentralize for algo that is anti-asic. Hopefully darkcoin would have asic so quick...

X11 doesn't have ASIC soon but FPGA already raped X11 to the finest.

Can you link me to those FPGA thread handling X11?

XMG the coin of magi is good for CPU miners, since there is no gpu miners for the algorithm M7M.

Sorry but you're entirely wrong Wink

The main problem is: as long as you mine using mass produced hardware, of course it will not be profitable.
It's just an implication of how the system works, to be profitable you must have more power than the others and this is unlikely to happen as they have access to the very same hardware, with difficulty equalizing everything.

Back to the point.
What is the 'best' coin to mine with CPUs?

I've been looking at XMG a bit... but I'm not at ease with their "fork every other week" approach.

Monero is best for CPU right now right?

There was a lot of other coins with more profitability, but the volume is quite low. BSTY, XMG, CoinShield for example.

Sounds quite harsh, but unfortunately I must admit that you're right. The only coin right now could rescue home/small time miners is BURST using PoC.

Manitoba - 6 cents kh/r.

-20C to -40C winters. 3 vid cards & processor equal a nice space-heater. Sure keeps my feet toasty, and oh the clocking you can do at -40.

CPU mining is neither profitable nor good for CPU. You would rather get your CPU damaged.

Well, I have several old computers that are 'ready for the dumpster' and I don't really care if they experience any kind of damage. And with winter right around the corner, I wouldn't mind a small loss for the extra heat. I just know that cpu mining was the 'new' and 'coolest' thing when Primecoin came out, but now that doesn't even seem profitable. It doesn't seem like there are any 'popular' CPU coins right now.

Best cpu coin right now is monero... but it won't last long as someone is developing extremely fast GPU miner for it..

XMR was good for CPU until the GPU miner came out. And then the price crashed and no longer worth the hassle mining

I've noticed this as well. And it doesn't seem to be on too many exchanges yet. I heard that cryptsy couldn't add it because it the wallet address length was too long?!?!

I think only Primecoins for CPU mining. Grin

I've been considering mining Primecoins for months - but it seems like the price continue to drop. Has there been any new development to the coin? Or is it also (eventually) doomed to the GPUs?
