Title: Any good cpu coins?
Post by: orcanice on November 03, 2016, 02:47:53 PM
Is there any okay cpu coins to mine?

since my pc is almost on always, why not just set it to mine a little when im not using it.

Best beat if CPU only is to just stake coins...

Currently trying Hodl just for fun since I have a few idle systems.

ZCASH is a good CPU/GPU coin

So I've been trying a few things just now.

Not necessarily altcoin though, more like bitcoin.

You can try NiceHash Miner, currently version v1.7.3.2, getting about ~0.000135 BTC/day
Or from Windows Store app (8 or 10), Bitcoin Miner, getting about ~0.000047 BTC/day

With i7-2630QM CPU

ZCASH,
With my i7 5820K I get 30 sol/s (~4-5$) which is equivalent to gtx 1070.
CPU need AVX support.

Hmmm I'm relly getting 0.135 mBTC/day as per GUI, reaping about ~70 H/s (8 threads: each getting 6-8 H/s). It's a laptop processor though with only 2.00 GHz.

I'll be trying out Zcash and see how it goes.

Just look for new algos in Announcments section.

Bitsend just changed to CPU only. ZEC and Zcoin are still good too.

These days everything happens around ZCash. The price is high, the difficulty still OK, even CPU mining works.
I suggest you start with that for now, just convert into BTC asap, since the diff is rising and the price is falling.
The miracle will not last long.
Then you'll have to find another coin for CPU. Quite hard. I use to mine Cryptonote coins if their price is okay and diff not too big. Or zcoin can be another option.

Yeah I'm trying Zcash now, pretty decent for my old idle laptop.
Getting about ~13 Sols/s
Pretty happy with this  ;D
