Are there coins which you could mine with CPU so that it would be profitable?

There are a lot of coins that can be mine with CPU specially bitcoin but it is not profitable for now because it can harm or burn your computers CPU.
Just try alternative way just like GPU and it can mine more types of altcoins.

Oh my people!!!! are you wanna throwing your cpu into the thrash?  Please don't use your cpu to mine anything and your cpu should be burned as fast as possible. The only possible thing for you to get a penny from your cpu mine but that was involving high risk about the possibility to burn your own cpu. that was really bad idea.

List of prefarable CPU Coins: Aaon, Darckcoin... yet steal but among it's disadventages that you can't determine the hash speed.

Yes, I know that you could mine even BTC with CPU but it is not profitable and I also know that there is GPU option (not for BTC though). BUT my question was that is there coins which would have such POW algorithm that you could CPU.

No, I don't want to burn my CPU! I am looking for coins which are designed for CPU and not GPU or ASICS.

Thank you! I will check these!

The best one right now is Monero (XMR), it is on the CryptoNight  algoritm, which is designed for the CPU mining, also there is a lot of other coins that you can mine, which are not so profitable right now, but the best way is to mine Monero, and if you want some other coin to have just buy it on exchange from the income.

I don't think CPU mining is profitable anymore. You can just mine a newly released currency when the difficulty is too low and hold till it gets a value.

What a load of gibberish,  CPUs and GPUs are designed to be thrashed at 100% for 24/7 for years without deteriorating significantly.

Repeated heating and cooling cycles is a more serious consideration where it come to wearing out Semiconducter devices...



But as mentioned,  one of your best bets is monero,  don't think it will be profitable though.    I'd consider it a straight trade of money in electricity for monero coins.

What CPU are you considering using for this so we can figure out whether you would manage to break even...

please try to work with ARM coin that the developer offering chance as connecting to pool server with different use of manage as the use of hash script with the bridge of composite as receiving share of coins with the dedicated worker acc.

I mine Verium Reserve with a couple of Odroids (VRM is a "CPU only" coin).  It's barely profitable, and only because the Odroid uses so little electricity.  It's more of a hobby anyway, not looking to get rich off mining.

I've been running a test on Riecoin profitability for a little over 1 week now.

Mining pool: https://ublock.it (https://ublock.it)
Machine specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz 8GB DDR3 (laptop CPU TDP 47 W)

Power consumption measured at wall ~94 Watts

Weekly power cost @ 11 cents KW/h = $2

RIC generated in 1 week

99.7 RIC = $6.24 USD at current market price

Still testing other higher end CPU's < 100 watt TDP, should have an update soon on i7 4770k

There are some coins that you can mine with CPU.

Biblepay is CPU only algo.
Myriad and Unitus using Yescrypt algo.

Also I believe this topic should be posted on Mining section.

I will check out the Rie coin. However I do not have any machines with high end CPU so will get much less coins.

Mining the coins with CPU is no longer profitable guys. But with CPU you could mine many coins such as monero, zcash, litecoin, ethereum, dash, infinity coin, fantom coin and much more. Some of these coins can even be mined over your phone!! However as we know everything depends on the hash rates and solution per seconds given by your CPU. Today's difficulty is so much that even with i7 cores you can mine with 20 sol/s and 25 H/s rates which is just not sufficient enough to copup with the today's mining rate. You can do it for the fun anyway.

Right now, there will be a shift of POW which requires tons and tons of GPU in order to survive in the fierce competition to POS. Even ethereum is also going towards that directions. With POS, even CPU is able to handle it and it is more about ownership of the amount of tokens. If you have tokens and you hold on to it for a longer period of  time, you will gain more. If you have more tokens than others, you will also gain more.

There are coins out there that can be mined with a CPU but to be honest, I must say that CPU mining is not at all profitable.
The current generation's CPUs are quite good and performs well in PCs but it is not that good when it comes to mining coins.
Although GPU mining is quite profitable if we have a good GPU mining rig but CPU mining won't profit us much.

I used to mine BTC a lot back in the day.  Now I've got a garage of dusty mining gear, and have gone all in on Masternode coins.  Beats mining hands down!  No gear to buy, no extra power to pay for.

Here is some background info of what I'm referring to: https://www.investitin.com/masternode/ 

and a new site that has launched that compares these coins is: https://masternodes.pro/

I use XenServer and host several nodes on a single PC (There's the CPU mining part) and the profit potential is pretty ridiculous if you diversify into a few of these coins and hang on to them.

There should be sone coins that can be mined with CPU but I don't think it would be profitable, it may also damage your computer in the long term.

I'm use BTC, ETH and Ltc with cpu mining. Bitcoin use only Freebitco.in , it is a new system with cpu mining i thing everybody can do it in a one system. When one person start cpu mining there is a rules that is set your Trreat and set you power if your cpu is most powerful you can set 90% or you can set 10% and there is no problem . CPU mining i'm use around 4 month but still now no problem .

you can mine bitcoin using your CPU and other altcoin that support CPU mining read that Monero can mine using CPU but as i know mining using your CPU can burn it. it will vastly destroy plus CPU mining are not profitable enough. If you want to go with mining get some beginners GPU to start with

This looks very interesting, I will give it a try!

Thank you!

It's definitely not a smart move to use your personal pc for mining. Your pc is not designed to mine so it would only kill your pc. Now it's not profitable , I suggest you to not waste your time.

Try to check on minergate because i did able to see that you can able to mine some altcoins with your CPU but i would say it would be just a senseless thing to do because you cant use your PC and also you are just wasting up your time and electricity on doing such thing because you would only earn pennies on that.Its much better if you do have dedicated Graphics cards if you are really serious on mining altcoins.

You've been mining for 4 months without any problem, but is there any profit?

So you're saying that you've been CPU mining via freebitco.in for 4 months, without some huge breaks I assume... So how did that work out for you?

Even if there are coins which give a good approx when mining on a normal CPU it makes no sense. Mining much kills the instrument. Forget about home mining. Golden times when you could mine btc on a laptop in the past :(

Freebitcoin.in is a website for gambling, how do you mining Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin from this website? Does it have a pool? After checked, I still see this website only support user some chances to receive free bitcoin, but you just can play gambling on this website.

need an invitation for that pool

Neblio is a POS coin, so once bought you keep it in your wallet and it'll stake, you should get 10% per year approximately.

Just google ASIC-resistant coins and you will see many many coins. Vertcoin FTW!

The only one I know of right now is biblepay. It is a CPU only coin and is quite new so come join in on the mining action. They have a website and Ann that are both easy to find by googling "biblepay" you just need the wallet the instructions are on medium.com and that link you will find on their Ann.

1Biblepay=13 sat and I think it will go up much more in the future. What do you think?

I think Monero, Vertcoin, and soon Electroneum.

Yeah I really like biblepay. I have been mining for awhile on my old pc. What I like the most is that this coin already made a difference within couple weeks after a launch.

i think this kind of coin will not exit, even it did, it will not last long, for people will mine it with higher performance device as long as there be a high profit, so cpu will become gpu and aisc and so on

CoinMagi works great with slow CPUs!

Yeah this is based on my friend's personal experience. he did mining using his computer. within 1 days nonstop he did not turn off the computer and continue their computer work to mine. without him realizing the computer cpu is already emitting smoke lol. I think do not use cpu to do mining. if you want to profit by minning. you can buy vga, rig, or other mining tool
