Title: Mining with CPU / Need help - small reward
Post by: NoratoCZ on February 13, 2017, 12:02:22 PM
Hello,

I am kinda new to mining but I spend a lot of time trading cryptocurrencies and I successfully mined a bit of Ethereum already, so hopefully I learned the basics. What I need from you guys is a help / tip which I am willing to give you a share from profit. My goals are small, 1-3$ per day would be a good success because its running nonstop anyway.

What I have for mining is 1 pc and 1 laptop with i5 4 core 2.5 GHz which I want to use for CPU mining. If you help me get it running, point me on good coin etc., I will give you first 10$ I make, or more if it will be better than expected (1$/ day expected :D ).

Thanks for reading this, feel free to contact me if you are willing to help a newbie.


Have a great day!

You dont need anybodys help you can do it yourself. Just look at http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency for cryptos to mine. Since you will be using CPU it might be difficult to generate enough hashes. You really should be looking at mining using a GPU.

I saw some CPU mining only coins + I have Intel HD graphic card on lapton and MSI RX3850 on that computer so I really should not be looking for GPU mining xD But thanks for opinion, I know GPU mining is more profitable just not for me.

1$ or more for CPU mining is pretty ambitious. Especially if you think of the power costs too, which you didn't mention.
The choices I know of are XMR and XZC. ZEC may be fine too.
Leave your computers mine for 10-20 min, see what's the hash rate you can get for those, make a calculation and there you are.
Or, as said before me, go for coinwarz and see if you can find algos where you perform better than this list.

PS. Keep in mind that you may pay more for electricity than what you earn, so it may worth to take a look in that direction too.

I donīt really pay for electricity, that is why I did not mentioned it.

With what you say you have you could be looking at about $2 per week, but absolutely not per day.
