Title: Most profitable CPU mining right now?
Post by: shadowhlohavec on January 16, 2017, 11:15:18 PM
Hello, I have some free vps which are mostly unused right now with xeon cpu... So I was wondering which is the most profitable coin and miner right now?  I already tried latest claymore xmr miner - 20h/s (0.05$ per day)

Thanks for your suggestions

Only 5 cents a day? The CPU's must be too old to be worth their weight.

XMR is the most profitable CPU coin, now the best CPU far as hash rate to electric and investment cost I do not know and not enough people seem to be reporting what they get. It's pretty much an accepted fact that unless you have cheap electric CPU mining will always cost more than they profit and never pay for themselves if you were to actually invest in CPU based rigs
