Title: Altcoins worth CPU mining?
Post by: lolcocks on July 16, 2017, 05:57:46 PM
So I was wondering, what are the altcoins worth CPU mining now a days?

So far, for me it seems Monero is a good one, any other good suggestions?

no cpu can compete with gpu's in terms of cost efficiency but out of all of them, monero is the most fitting for CPU's since unlike zcash or eth algorithms, it heavily banks on a large on-chip cache which gpu's don't have.

Guess I will have to stick with Monero for now I guess.

Try finding argon2d coins, or some other algo that is geared towards CPU's

I think eth is also good, for one month I try mining xmr, hopefully the price is good when I sell it later

ETH on CPU?
Won't that take ages?
