Title: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: GianMtus on December 12, 2015, 12:06:49 AM I know this is a very noobish question, but... Can i mine with a Dual Core 2.4ghz CPU laptop? I'm only using free bitcoin websites to earn bitcoins and then buy a good computer to invest in bitcoin mining. Also, sorry for my bad english, i'm brazilian hehe ._.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: dunand on December 12, 2015, 12:10:49 AM No.
Before April 2011 it was still cost effective to mine with a regular computer. Welcome to Bitcoin Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: megatron1337 on December 12, 2015, 12:30:25 AM You can still mine with a cpu... But you would be wasting time and electricity and the end result would be nothing in return.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Amph on December 12, 2015, 07:49:46 AM for the time being not even altcoin i think, cpu is out of range for everything, but if you really want you can look in the altsection, you may find something new to mine with cpu, or when cpu has an advantages
the last one which should be still not tht bad to mine with cpu should be MAGI, but don't expect a big profit Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Alphagog on December 13, 2015, 08:25:27 PM You can mine bitcoin with CPU. But that is just for hobby. The cost of electricity is much more than the bitcoin you will mine. I do not know if you can find a pool to accept CPU miner.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: helloeverybody on December 13, 2015, 08:26:46 PM I wouldnt even bother mining just for a hobby with cpu. you will literally get nothing from minign btc nowadays with it.

No, it's too late to mine Bitcoin now. You can try mining with one of the alt coins. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU?

Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: DimensionZ on December 13, 2015, 10:04:36 PM I have read about CPU-mined coins but I don't think a laptop grade CPU will be any efficient though.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: notlist3d on December 13, 2015, 10:39:49 PM I have read about CPU-mined coins but I don't think a laptop grade CPU will be any efficient though. It does not matter laptop or desktop even a server with ton's of cores. Most make less then the electricity costs. It's just hard to cpu mine now days. Even if you were able to get a profit over electricity. You will never pay off gear your using to do it with. Just not enough profit. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: ironbit on December 13, 2015, 11:18:31 PM it is not recommend at all when you do not have access to extremely cheap electricity. you will make loss using dual core.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Kingno.1 on December 14, 2015, 04:38:14 AM Yes you can mine with a dual core cpu but it isn't a cost effective way to make bitcoins.
You will be using your money and hardware's life in the end of it. I would suggest you to join a signature campaign to earn bitcoins. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU?

Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Taratoor on December 14, 2015, 05:56:08 PM minergate is good for a chewing gum price :D
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Estimated on December 14, 2015, 06:22:09 PM The short answer is you can. But it is not profitable to mine. It will use a lot of electricity and you will not see 0.001 bitcoin in a few years.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: extrabyte on December 14, 2015, 08:51:20 PM You can but the earnings are zero (or near zero) so better try to use it for something else rather than for mining.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: bigminer_tr on December 14, 2015, 09:14:51 PM There is not any coin mine profitable with cpu mining, magi coin byte coin too you can not earn as you spend Electric cost.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: BruceLee007 on December 14, 2015, 09:16:12 PM i guess you could possibly mine your bitcoins with it though you would earn extremely low bitcoin amounts what wouldnt give you any profit because of the electricity costs you would get when mining it so i wouldnt even start mining bitcoins right now
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: planetroving on December 17, 2015, 12:43:02 AM Yes, you can mine with a dual core CPU, even with a single core CPU. But the days for CPU mining have long gone, same for GPUs and FGPAs. People now mine using ASICs. Even with them, it is only profitable if you are in a region with low electricity costs or a place where electricity is free. With a dual core CPU, you're going to earn barely even dust.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: nwfella on December 17, 2015, 01:21:45 AM Save yourself the wear and tear on your unit, honestly not really worth it unless you've got free electricity (or near free) and are willing to mine something obscure. If your wanting to go that route I would take a look into gridcoin (GRC) from a profitability perspective. I think primecoin might be another good candidate for CPU mining but not sure how profitable it is.
Bottom line, your not really going to make much of anything doing either and ultimately if you are paying for electricity what you do make more than likely won't cover the cost. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: TastyChillySauce00 on December 18, 2015, 09:58:23 AM what a waste of hardware, better for you to bought a 2nd use VGA/GPU and use it for mining purpose,mining with proceccor is very slow as camel
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Sanguintan on December 18, 2015, 10:39:19 AM If your CPU has AES_NI support, you can mine cryptonote coins such as Moneor or Bytecoin. It is better not to mine bitcoin with CPU.

Post by: greBit on December 18, 2015, 10:45:44 AM what a waste of hardware, better for you to bought a 2nd use VGA/GPU and use it for mining purpose,mining with proceccor is very slow as camel Yes if you mine with dual core cup it will take years for you to make very little amount of money it's just waste of time better look out for some advanced mining products available in the market now. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: btcprospecter on December 18, 2015, 10:52:53 AM From everything I have read and others have posted I don't think it's very viable it could be worth you checking out the mining threads to put you on the right path if you seriously want to start mining.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: a7mos on December 18, 2015, 11:51:44 AM Do not think about mining, it is not profitable at all to mine using CPU
Even if you are mining altcoins it will not cover the electricity cost. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: n691309 on December 18, 2015, 08:08:16 PM The earnings from the dual core cpu are very low comparing on how much you will spend on electricity and the most important is the time spend. In conclusion it does not worth.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: smiletyson on December 18, 2015, 08:26:56 PM Screw whatever you get from mining and keep your laptop.
Worst case scenario your computer will burn (not literally) and die. Try faucets they're more profitable. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: notlist3d on December 18, 2015, 09:21:12 PM The earnings from the dual core cpu are very low comparing on how much you will spend on electricity and the most important is the time spend. In conclusion it does not worth. Even if you get a 16/32 core VPS or soemthing.... cpu mining still does not pay off. Just to much cost for so little money. You will lose cases in most cases. I have not seen any recent ones of people paying off CPU/GPU mining rigs... just cost vs income does not work. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Etoiliste on December 18, 2015, 10:38:36 PM you can't mine with that it would cost a lot more then making profit it will be a good week if you get 0.2$ worth of bitcoin so don't waste time and money on that laptop for mining
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Nagadota on December 19, 2015, 03:53:52 PM you can't mine with that it would cost a lot more then making profit it will be a good week if you get 0.2$ worth of bitcoin so don't waste time and money on that laptop for mining It is better to use the money you pay for your electricity to buy the bitcoin directly. That is more profitable. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: lolgato on December 19, 2015, 04:06:43 PM Its worthless the best you can do currently to mine is get 10 asics and then you can mine efficiently
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Blawpaw on December 19, 2015, 06:16:37 PM Yes you can mine with your CPU, but it won't be profitable anymore. You Can even mine BTC with your CPU but it won't get you anywhere. However you can mine some new altcoins with your CPU and trade them for BTC.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: favdesu on December 19, 2015, 06:30:11 PM you can mine with any device... is it worth it? no. probably not. you could keep an eye on new CPU based altcoins and mine them when they're released (and hope they hold any value).
it's better to just buy bitcoin imo Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: fravia on December 19, 2015, 07:55:54 PM i guess you can mine bitcoins with anything though nearly with everything it is not profitable to mine it because there are a lot of machines nowadays that have a lot of power so the fees from your electricity would make you go to minus balance
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: BTCBinary on December 19, 2015, 09:51:40 PM yep. you can mine Altcoins with your dual core processor but it will be just a pure waste of time and energy. However if you still want to do it anyway you can use Minergate:
https://minergate.com/ It is very simple to use and can get you a few coins... but as I said before with a dual processor it isn't worth the effort. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Estimated on January 04, 2016, 09:24:52 AM If your CPU supports AES-NI, then you can mine cryptonote coins, these coins are anonymous, or more anonymous than bitcoin.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: harizen on January 04, 2016, 10:27:12 AM This thread still alive lol.
Let's put an end to this. Forget mining with Dual Core CPU. Yes it's really possible literally but it will take you a really really long time to get a decent return. Even you can afford and you have all that needed still it's a waste of time. Think out of the box than focusing on this method. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: jethrorn99 on January 04, 2016, 10:45:48 AM You can't, and if you force it, your computer will broke.
Why mine? you can earn bitcoin in another way that's more profitable than mining. Like Sig. Campaign or trading. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: armadora on January 07, 2016, 11:30:02 AM you can not earn from cpu mining because your reward coin cost too low than electric cost. cpu mining profitable(altcoins) before 2013 year.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: egghead123 on January 07, 2016, 11:33:28 AM You probably wouldnt break even unless you have free electricity but you might be able to make something from one of the altcoins or on something just announced that may hit an exchange
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: enigmasigma on January 08, 2016, 01:27:08 AM But what if he gets really lucky (like really reaaallly lucky). Would it be still possible for a CPU miner to mine for them and hitting a block at his first attempt??? (Being really optimistic here)
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: kevin go on January 08, 2016, 02:26:04 AM you can do that...but waste your time and electricity...your cpu will be very hot maybe its going to blow..
and you got a very2 low profit maybe almost no profit because of the electricity.... Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Amph on January 08, 2016, 07:42:11 AM But what if he gets really lucky (like really reaaallly lucky). Would it be still possible for a CPU miner to mine for them and hitting a block at his first attempt??? (Being really optimistic here) not with bitcoin, not ever in a million year, the diff is too high for any cpu to be able to hit a block, still more easy than a collision for sure right now a cpu is not doing even 15 satoshi per day, and one block is 25, do the math, you need 250M days to be able to hit a block on average, this without counting the diff Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU?

Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: tyz on January 09, 2016, 11:24:31 AM You can mine of course, but you will not make Bitcoin gain through it.
I would recommend to use it to mine some altcoins and turn them into Bitcoin. This makes more sense using dual core CPU. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: gkv9 on January 09, 2016, 03:22:30 PM You can go for PoS coins, but don't mine as I had a dual core CPU and had a bad experience even mining altcoins...
It heats up a lot, and not profitable at all... You can mine for fun, but don't expect too much from it... Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: egghead123 on January 09, 2016, 04:31:32 PM XBC is a good POS coin to mine.If you get a few from poloniex because they are dirt cheap now you can have them staking in 24 hours.XBC has been around a long time and are looking at doing a mobile staking wallet in the near future also so you can mine/stake coins using your smartphone.The wallet also acts as a p2p messaging service.Difficulty is very low at the moment.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: HITTI2 on January 09, 2016, 04:35:53 PM No but you may earn bitcoins by mining altcoins and have turned into BTC.
Small guide a generous person pm'd me. Quote I mine at nicehash, mostly with Nvidia's. Half are 960, it is simple. You can find all about it here: https://www.nicehash.com/?p=gstarted if you want to mine DASH. But I mine multialgo, get payed in BTC and then buy DASH with it, what I find more profitable. So, you need BTC adress ( Wallet ) to get payments, then download miner ( Nicehash miner ), i.e. read here: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner Read that carefully, everything is explained there. ( so download miner from here: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases ) take care with your antivirus ( Avast forbid it so it must be under exceptions ) When you start it, put your adress in there and name for miner ( without spaces! ) and do benchmark, wait some time to finish ir and your miner is ready, pres "start" and that is it... Much simpler than few years ago. PM if you need help.... This app will mine off your cpu too. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Nagadota on January 14, 2016, 09:54:37 AM I think mining PoS coins will not stress your CPU too much. So it is OK to do that. Do not mine PoW coins.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: smho_16 on January 14, 2016, 03:52:41 PM Yes but really not recommended
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Blawpaw on January 14, 2016, 04:57:35 PM yes you can, but you will only be wasting energy and the lifespan of your computer to get a miserable bunch of worthless altcoins.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: zeaderza on January 14, 2016, 10:42:10 PM yes you can mine with any computer but you will consume energy in vain.
You can make more bitcoin with faucets than mining with your pc :)) Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU?

Mining with CPU is going to be at a loss unless "free" electricity then you still are just not making anything. Dual core is nothing in processor power. And even if you have a 32 cor VPS unless you are on promo you won't make anything. GPU's cost so much chances of even paying for GPU is pretty much none with so litle of income. And faucets are pennies per hours. So horrible way to spend your time. Your better off buying 5 dollars of BTC and you likely saved weeks of faucets. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU?

Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: zeaderza on January 31, 2016, 08:01:33 PM Yes you can mine with a dual core but only 10 satoshis or less.

Even if you are given free electricity, free internet and free CPUs, it's just a waste of time.
Although you could try mining alt-coins with a powerful graphics card :) Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: busybee7 on January 31, 2016, 08:28:44 PM i think you could mine your bitcoins with that but it would be highly not profitable and it would cost you something
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: sweerty1 on January 31, 2016, 09:00:15 PM I really wanted to do this but I don't wanna wreck my pc.
Also noone really suggests I guess. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Alphagog on February 07, 2016, 10:42:44 AM I really wanted to do this but I don't wanna wreck my pc. Also noone really suggests I guess. If you know how to undervolt your CPU and underclock it, it will not wrieck your PC. But it is not profitable anyway. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU?

It will get you some shares in the Monero mining. it will be unprofitable, since one i7 consume 90w without oc, and some "shares" of monero, are not going to cover the electrcity, let alone some profit Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: john2231 on February 08, 2016, 04:48:55 PM I think its better to join in signature campaign than mine using laptop or desktop dual core cpu. Because of high difficulty mining is not profitable right now and ifyou mine in your pc or laptop it can destroy your laptop or cpu if you mine bitcoinso even altcoin...
So i suggest to move in another source of bitcoin. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: Dagwanoenyent on February 08, 2016, 09:05:47 PM I also have this cpu with two cores..
But this is unprofitable, don't bother yourself with this. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU?

Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: arbitrage on February 10, 2016, 09:58:17 AM Mining with processor is such waste of money and power!
Those i7 processors are not cheap, and you can destroy them for a few moneros?! Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU?

I7 processor is not the one to be used for mining. If you want to mine Monero, buy a cheap processor with AES_NI support. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: asSoqui on February 20, 2016, 04:57:08 PM It is too late to do a cpu mining now. Even with the alt coin that I am currently looking now is discouraging the use of cpu and gpu.
Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: socks435 on February 20, 2016, 05:38:53 PM I think there's no available mining software free to use your CPU from your laptop.. Maybe you can buy a cpu miner to use it as source of bitcoin but its not so profitable this days...but if you just want to learn how to mine so you can try a cheap one usb miner 10-25 usd you can buy it in ebay or amazon..

Post by: egghead123 on February 21, 2016, 09:33:19 AM It depends on the coin that you are mining.Bitcoin is not viable with your setup but if you choose something with low difficulty that is traded on and exchange at a good price and reasonable volume you can do okay.

if only you tried to mine it with CPU back at 2011 you will probably be rich by now ::) nowadays no one is mining with CPU anymore since the electricity will bring you down before you can make any decent profit :P try to buy yourself a mining rig like antminer if you want to mine coins ;) Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU?

Post by: CryptoGore on February 24, 2016, 01:48:19 PM Better avoid mining BTC or similar with CPU, you should try instead to mine cryptonote coins or CPU-only mineable coins. Get a search for CPU only coin and you will find something useful. :)

I don't care how good of CPU coin it is at this point. Show me a equation where you not only make more then electricity but ROI on a cpu... I don't see anyone ROI'ing on cpu. It's a lost cause at this point compared to expenses. Title: Re: Can i Mine with a dual core CPU? Post by: JasonXG on March 01, 2016, 12:55:05 AM You don't mine with pc's anymore GPU or CPU, it just won't make profit what with all the asics and all out there. Faucets will go much faster. Even if they are tedious.
