Title: Cpu minning
Post by: skyline_king on January 05, 2017, 02:04:19 AM
I am winding if there is anything worth cpu mining atm.

I.am mining xmg right now and the payout is not that great. I know cpu is not gonna get much payout but I was hoping maybe a bit more then xmg is getting.

I am running a fx 6300 @4.5 witch I know is a pretty low end cpu but I am just getting in to mining and slowly saving and waiting on new amd cpu.

I suggest doing a search in this forum as there are many threads that have addressed this. I am not familiar with your CPU but even an old i7-2600k is capable of mining 200-250 h/s on Monero (XMR). Given its recent spike in price, this would add up to a small but decent amount over time. I have 3 K-series CPUs on it and combined they yield more than a bios-modded 470... so yes, it can be done, but probably not decently with low end CPUs.
