Title: Which currency can still be mined by a CPU?
Post by: MandyViki on November 24, 2017, 06:12:26 PM
A new coin gets introduced and within days using your CPU to get some coins is not possible.
Is there any coin which you can get while you are operating your CPU.

I have been trying for BCN, but then its exchange rate isnt that productive that i can be really happy about.
I can make much more by just doing the faucets.

I understand a bit about staking but am nowhere close enough to even venture for it.

You can still mine using CPU however it will take you longer that usual than mining with the use of a GPU so it will be a waste of time. Because even though you can get like an I9-7980XE with an MRSP of $2000 or an AMD Treadripper 1950x at $800 right now it will still now be worth it because it can be beaten by 2 or 3 GTX 1060s or a RX 580s at around the same price of the Treadripper or a 3rd of the I9.

If you will be mining and can spend around $600 to $800 you could get a good set up with 2 RX 580 or 3 RX 570 which is good at mining right now.
