Title: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: vlad230 on February 06, 2018, 03:25:39 PM I have seen a lot of users that want to start mining or have already started but do not know what to mine. I though of creating this thread by including all of the new CryptoNight coins that are worth while mining using your CPU and will get you a decent amount of coins in return.
I will maintain this thread and add more coins on it, feel free to bookmark if you like. I think the average mining power of your low to mid level CPU is about ~100-150 h/s so, I will create a guide on what to mine and how to do it based on this hashing speed. Note: With this hashing speed you will definitely loose money if you sell what you mine because electricity is expensive. This approach is going to work only if you're OK with the idea that their value will probably appreciate in time. What coins to mine? The most lucrative coins from a "low difficulty & good returns" perspective are:
What pool should I use? Usually all of the legitimate pools will charge a fee, from my experience, the good ones charge up to 1%. None of the good ones are free. The pools I use or heard they are good:
What coins have forked, are ASIC resistant and what algorithm are they currently on? An answer to all of this questions can be found on my other thread: [CryptoNight] Forked coins, ASIC resistance and current algorithms (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4088545.0) Where can I get a wallet address? The best place to get a wallet address is on the website of the coin. I have also used FreeWallet or Jaxx but usually none of the new coins are supported in these. The most secure wallets to use are the paper wallets, you can mine directly to them. Note: Please do not use a wallet address from an exchange, you will most likely loose your mined coins. What software to use for mining? I am using Xmrig for mining. In my opinion this is the best & easy to use command line CPU miner. Note: They charge a fee for mining which is between 1% - 5%. You can configure this to the amount you like to donate. First you need to download the correct file from here: https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases You should have 3 files:
The important part is the config.json file, this is the only file (read the comments in it too): [/list] Code: {After you properly change config.json, you can start the miner by opening start.bat (on Windows). That's it! Another mining app for CPU mining is XMR-STAK, you can use this as well, a guide on how to install it was provided by neosi1 here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2891680.msg33070715#msg33070715 A more detailed mining thread which showcases multiple mining apps (CPU & GPU) can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2345911.0 Please let me know if you have questions/suggestions or feel free to share the coins you are mining with your CPU and could be added on this list.

Better to link to one of the available calculators. http://minecryptonight.net/ https://www.cryptunit.com/ https://whattomine.com/ For some reason dero, turtlecoin and sumokoin looks nice today.

Mine while you still have a chance to gain something ;) Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: vlad230 on February 16, 2018, 04:03:00 PM Added ALLOY to the list. You can get about 0.7 XAO/day with 150 h/s :)
Happy mining ;) Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: generalheed on February 16, 2018, 04:54:38 PM I'm really confused about ByteCoin (BCN). Half of the people here seem to despise it and tell me to stay far away from it. But it looks like it's doing alright. I only know a little bit about the story behind bytecoin too.
You didn't mentioned a pool for XDN. Yes, I haven't tested any for XDN yet. Will add more after they're tested. :) Unfortunately I could not find any reliable XDN pools... Removing it from the list. I mine XDN reliably on MinerGate. In fact I actually do merged mining on Minergate with XMR which means by mining XMR, that same hashrate also mines XDN at virtually no cost and I've racked up a fair amount of XDN to supplement the XMR. It's just a bonus basically. Minergate also has merged mining with XMR and FCN, but I honestly don't think FCN is that great. It's difficulty is somewhat high and you don't get much out of it. I know people here also have mixed feelings about MinerGate so that's up to them to decide. My personal experience is that it's been fine for me but others have indeed had issues as well.

Yes, BCN had a bad reputation when it started out but their project isn't as bad as people think. In the end everything that counts is the people who trade it. I see it's about $6mil for the past 24h, that can't be bad, right? :) I've also stared out mining with minergate but found out on my own that this isn't a good option. High fees for withdrawing the mined coins to a wallet, good hashes being stolen etc... I suggest moving away from minergate as soon as possible. Although, I could not find a reliable XDN pool so that means you need keep searching on your own for one or switch to another coin...

Do you have any other info on it? Are you mining it now? What pools are you using? Although this coins was launched at the beginning of January it has not gained enough traction & attention from users on BCT. I would be a bit cautious to mine it at this time, it may be a waste of time.

Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: vlad230 on March 15, 2018, 01:02:28 PM Great. But you should mention another pool like http://cryptoknight.cc/haven/ with 0% fee. xhv.luckypool.io is a good one too but the majority of minners are on it which is not a good thing for crypto. I've selected that pool because it's more popular and it has more miners on it. I have tried multiple pools in the past but it seems that you get more consistent results when you join large pools. Not to mention the importance of the pool having a high uptime. From what I've seen until now, mining on a pool that has a lot of members is not a bad thing at all, especially when resolving a block takes more than 100% effort. Another good point is that blocks are found very fast - about 4 min on luckpool.io rather than 4h on cryptoknight.cc Of course, the block reward will be split between more users but I think it's a good compromise because there will be more blocks. What was your experience with pools? Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: jumbay on March 15, 2018, 04:16:12 PM Great.

For now it seems I'm getting more XHV per day on this one. But at the end it should be equivalent. It's more to have at least 2 large pool than a big one.

I usually don't recommend joining 0% fee pools because they either have bad uptime or they steal your good shares. When it comes to the effort used to mine a block by the pool, I have been lucky in the past on smaller pools and mined blocks with 20-40% effort and got the rewards fast but once you get a few 200% effort blocks (which will happen sooner than you think) all that advantage will be lost.

Yes I understand that, but what I was saying is to avoid having all minners on the same pool. By the way this pool get down and here is what happened: Quote Luckypool is back online now however this has raised an important issue we currently have. We have gone 45 minutes without a block as the majority of the hashing power was in luckypool so that when it went down, the network didn't have enough power to find a block until one of the other underpowered pools finds a block and the difficulty can adjust. The more we spread the power among the pools, the better it is for our network :) Here's the full list of pools: - http://cryptoknight.cc/haven/ - https://mineallcrypto.com/pool?symbol=XHV - https://haven.miner.rocks/ - https://xhv.luckypool.io/ - https://monerise.com/?pool=haven - http://youpool.io/XHV/ Thank you!

Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: Lieldoryn on March 17, 2018, 05:14:08 PM I recommend the use of pay pools.

The first deliveries are scheduled for mid-may. You don't have much time left. May be better to look for other options?

I mine CN coins since October with one of my rigs (4x Vega 56) and have around 7.6 KH. If I put this number on whattomine right now (current diff) I get: 148.8 ETN Daily (so with the pool luck-factor (35%) ~ 200.9 ETN) If I put this number on cryptunit right now I get: 297.6 ETN Daily whattomine is quite accurate from what I get... cryptunit is way to high. e.g. IPBC is very accurate from the values cryptunit shows and what I get.

Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: neosi1 on March 22, 2018, 12:35:28 PM At the moment I've mined ITNS and DCY, then for a potentially good upcoming coin I'm mining PinkStar, as per your 1st post at an average of 150Hs you should get around 900 PNKS per 24Hrs https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2723196.0 Ok, I have added it to the main post. :) The current estimate says you can get 1200 tokens/day with that hash rate, even better :D This one looks interesting, I see it has some activity on BCT. Let's hope it's going to be a winner in the long run. As for mining Software I use XMR-Stack although I have used Xmrig but defo get better Hs with XMR-Stack, Xmrig is availble for 32bit aswell whereas XMR-Stack i'snt which maybe a advantage to some, but I guess it all depends on the PC you have and your own preference. There is some nice GUI software but its only in Beta so is a little buggy and you may need to uninstall and reinstall to get it working ok, thats called Sumo Easy Miner, the default is setup for sumo mining but you can add in your own pools to mine other coins, if you where too mine more than one coin at a time you can select how many cores you want to use per coin which is quite cool, hope a update for it comes along soon https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2163270.0 What kind of hash rate difference did you see when comparing XMRig with XMR-Stak ? Soz for not replying sooner @vlad230 I did a little test for you and on one of my machines that gives around 190hs on XMR-Stack i only get 165hs on XMrig, hugepages are enabled etc so there is some difference. If you like I could do a guide for setting up XMR-Stack for the first time for you to tweak and add to you 1st post Following on from my post about PinkStar, if you've started mining make sure you keep an eye on their thread re moving to v2 and swapping coins Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: neosi1 on March 22, 2018, 12:54:28 PM Defo make sure you keep updated on the DinastyCoin DCY thread too as updates are looking good there aswell

Yes, CryptoNight coins are mainly designed to be mined with CPU & GPU. Some ASICs were recently launched but some of the coins already forked to be ASIC resistant (to block ASICs from mined them). If you're new to mining, I would recommend mining with your CPU first, to better understand what's it all about, and after that make an investment and buy GPUs (if you can find them at a good price).

Your work is really been appreciated and I do hope that you won't get tired updating this thread. Actually, I was thinking of creating the same post but due to my busy schedule, I just couldn't find the time. Anyways, just keep it up! If you're new to mining, I would recommend mining with your CPU first, to better understand what's it all about, and after that make an investment and buy GPUs (if you can find them at a good price). I'm not really new into mining, I have tried several computers and laptops before just to see how it really works. I already read a lot of stuffs even those who are pessimistic that CPU mining is dead. In fact, CPU mining is still profitable if you just mine the right coin, given that you hold it and its value surge up later. I will make your thread as a reference for my mining guide as most of the coins that I target were mostly Cryptonight, let me find my time to do this as I'm still full of errands to do. This year, I'm saving up to invest into mining that's why I asked if they can also be mined by GPU. My only problem is the scarcity of it, such as 1080's and Vega's, there are available ones but the price is very expensive. Once I got into it, I will definitely come back on this thread and will share stuffs that can support your guide.

I use the community pool and so far I mined about 50 XTL. Is there something I am missing? Unfortunately the difficulty of Stellite (XTL) has increased since my last update. You will get 270 XTL/day with 150 h/s :( Updated the the OP with this info. Be sure to check here from time to time, I normally announce the updates in a post. You should be getting about 80 XTL/day with that hash rate. I've also updated the rest of the coins in the list, for most of them the difficulty has increased, unfortunately.

Unless they fork (as Monero) mining with a CPU should give negative value since the difficulty should skyrocket? You can find a good list of the CryptoNight coins that forked here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3129218.0 I would suggest mining the ones which forked but until now, I haven't see a major increase in difficulty for the coins I have listed here. Probably because they're still not worth much so, they aren't targeted by ASICs :) Your work is really been appreciated and I do hope that you won't get tired updating this thread. Actually, I was thinking of creating the same post but due to my busy schedule, I just couldn't find the time. Anyways, just keep it up! Thanks for the kind words :) BTC tips or merits are greatly appreciated ;) Don't be shy in clicking the +Merit link.... That sounds good :) Feel free to reference it and come back and share your findings.I will make your thread as a reference for my mining guide as most of the coins that I target were mostly Cryptonight, let me find my time to do this as I'm still full of errands to do. .... Once I got into it, I will definitely come back on this thread and will share stuffs that can support your guide. Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: CryptoFrancoQc on April 15, 2018, 05:44:09 PM For fun, I started mining XTL on a very old computer (Phenom II X4 945 - 3.0Ghz) and I get an average of 50 H/s with xmrig, which gets me nowhere near the 700 tokens per day that you said you get at 100-150 H/s. I use the community pool and so far I mined about 50 XTL. Is there something I am missing? Unfortunately the difficulty of Stellite (XTL) has increased since my last update. You will get 270 XTL/day with 150 h/s :( Updated the the OP with this info. Be sure to check here from time to time, I normally announce the updates in a post. You should be getting about 80 XTL/day with that hash rate. I've also updated the rest of the coins in the list, for most of them the difficulty has increased, unfortunately. QWC has its main pool in maintenance right now so, the network hash rate has dropped significantly and you can get up to 315,000 QWC per day, now! :) You can use this alternate pool to mine it: qwcpool.partyvibe.com Thanks a lot for your help :) I needed to set the variant to 1 to make it work with Cryptonight. Could I use Cryptonight-Lite to mine XTL and get better results? I was not able to make it work and I don't know why.

Could I use Cryptonight-Lite to mine XTL and get better results? I was not able to make it work and I don't know why. It doesn't work that way, it's a different algorithm. You need to use the algorithm supported by the coin. I see Stellite has forked to increase ASIC resistance, you will need to get the latest version of XMRig that supports CryptoNight V7 (https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/tag/v2.5.2) (the new CN algo for the forked coins). I assume the configuration is the same.

From what I remember it said that your virtual memory should match that of your physical memory, so as the machine I cpu mine on has 8gb ram, I increased the page file minium too 8000mb and max to 16000mb and i got my h/s back to full speed. The above my be helpful but someone more experienced could maybe explain better Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: vlad230 on April 22, 2018, 06:12:11 PM I had a problem with my h/s dropping and remembered Id read something along my travels that increasing the size of the windows page file would help. If you use xmrig you don't really need to care about this. By default it will try to use large page files but sometimes for this setting to take effect you need to restart your machine.

The above my be helpful but someone more experienced could maybe explain better When you start xmrig it will say at the beginning if large page files are enabled or disabled. Usually a limiting factor in the hash rate is the amount of L3 cache that you have it's not the page file size.

When I originally posted I didnt want to post every little thing id done or checked to clog the thread up but I guess I have too ! My post was a quick summary of what id changed to fix my problem, nothing more nothing less. So I do sincerely apologize for not providing every little single piece of information ! My h/s dropped by at least 70h/s from a normal average of 185-195 h/s dependent on which miner I used, be that xmrig or xmr-stak, a normal max around 200-202 on stak There was no reason for this, nothing had changed on the pc, no hardware changes, no softwares change's, nothing running in the background like windows update ! And yes i'm more than aware that even opening a browser can drop your h/s but thanks sooo much for pointing that out ! So I rebooted, restarted a miner, still the same. Stopped the miner Swapped pools Swapped miners Nope problem still the same. Checked internet speed, no problems Ran a memory test. Rebooted still the same Ran IntelProcessor Diagnostic Tool No problems found. So then I remebered something id read, so I thought what the hell its worth a shot, So I changed the page files settings from the windows defaults (just to be clear, as per the above post) rebooted once more and started the miner once more and guess what, it only went and worked. And to add to my surprise the max speed went up by 5 to 207, woohoooo ! So to state again increasing the page file size worked for what ever caused the problem I had in the first place.

I though of creating this thread by including all of the new CryptoNight coins that are worth while mining using your CPU and will get you a decent amount of coins in return. I will maintain this thread and add more coins on it, feel free to bookmark if you like. I think the average mining power of your low to mid level CPU is about ~100-150 h/s so, I will create a guide on what to mine and how to do it based on this hashing speed. Note: With this hashing speed you will definitely loose money if you sell what you mine because electricity is expensive. This approach is going to work only if you're OK with the idea that their value will probably appreciate in time. What coins to mine? The most lucrative coins from a "low difficulty & good returns" perspective are:
What pool should I use? Usually all of the legitimate pools will charge a fee, from my experience, the good ones charge up to 1%. None of the good ones are free. The pools I use or heard they are good:
Where can I get a wallet address? The best place to get a wallet address is on the website of the coin. I have also used FreeWallet or Jaxx but usually none of the new coins are supported in these. The most secure wallets to use are the paper wallets, you can mine directly to them. Note: Please do not use a wallet address from an exchange, you will most likely loose your mined coins. What software to use for mining? I am using Xmrig for mining. In my opinion this is the best & easy to use command line CPU miner. Note: They charge a fee for mining which is between 1% - 5%. You can configure this to the amount you like to donate. First you need to download the correct file from here: https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases You should have 3 files:
The important part is the config.json file, this is the only file (read the comments in it too): Code: {After you properly change config.json, you can start the miner by opening start.bat (on Windows). That's it! Another mining app for CPU mining is XMR-STAK, you can use this as well, a guide on how to install it was provided by neosi1 here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2891680.msg33070715#msg33070715 A more detailed mining thread which showcases multiple mining apps (CPU & GPU) can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2345911.0 Please let me know if you have questions/suggestions or feel free to share the coins you are mining with your CPU and could be added on this list. The payment for mining is shown as the unit of tokens. However, it should be better to use BTC or ETH per day. That will make the profit clear. Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: vlad230 on May 12, 2018, 08:50:29 PM ... Thanks for the detailed input will take a closer look tomorrow :).... It's interesting but would like to wait a bit to see if it catches on before adding it to the thread.The payment for mining is shown as the unit of tokens. However, it should be better to use BTC or ETH per day. That will make the profit clear. I don't think you understood what I'm trying to do here.

At that time they had a lot of issues with their pool in the sens that it was banning you after a a few days for some weird reasons.ANN THREAD - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3086019.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3086019.0) WEBSITE - http://worktips.info/ (http://worktips.info/) It's a great cn-lite v1 coin for small miners, community growing every day, great devs. So, decided not to add it here until they fix their pool issues. Are you mining it right now? Have you had any issues with it recently?

I think not. If there is a given processor, you can receive 15-20 dollars of additional income per month. And to buy this processor for the mining is unreasonable. It's easier to look for cheap old server boards with 2 processors and mine on it. Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: sockpuppet1911 on June 19, 2018, 02:57:39 PM I've added a new coin that can be mined using your average CPU called BLOC. BLOC is a CryptoNight-Heavy coin that can bring you 0.9 tokens/day while using a hash rate of about 150 h/s. I've also added in their official pool: bloc-mining.us Happy mining ;) This actually looks like a decent project with a possible future. Going to mine a bag for hodling.

It's easier to look for cheap old server boards with 2 processors and mine on it. Some people prefer to switch to CPU mining rather than GPU mining since GPUs were/are hard to find on the market. If you compare the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x with a 1080ti then the hash rates are kind of the same, the price as well if you're lucky but normally it exceeds that amount. The issue is you can't buy a 1080ti since it's always out of stock :) Not to mention you can use that CPU for other stuff as well.

If you mine a crypto currency with a hashrate 150 h/s, then it does not even pay for electricity costs :) about AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950x. I found 3 models on the market I found 3 models on the market AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X 16 core (16-Core) CPU with 3.40 GHz AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 12 core (12-Core) CPU with 3.50 GHz AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1900X 8 core (Octa Core) CPU with 3.80 GHz These processors have a special TR4 socket. Motherboards for this socket cost $ 400-500. + the cost of a cooler is 40-50 dollars ( 180 W TDP :) ) https://s8.hostingkartinok.com/uploads/images/2018/06/25f392559f0b8603f430f1105209f815.jpg (https://hostingkartinok.com/show-image.php?id=25f392559f0b8603f430f1105209f815) beauty ::) Therefore, to compare AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1080ti for mining is unrealistic. Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: vlad230 on June 20, 2018, 01:33:03 PM If you mine a crypto currency with a hashrate 150 h/s, then it does not even pay for electricity costs :) The whole idea of this thread is to mine coins that will eventually increase in price. It is stated in the first post (with red) that you will probably pay more for electricity than you get in coins if you try to sell them right away. Please read the OP again. These processors have a special TR4 socket. Motherboards for this socket cost $ 400-500. + the cost of a cooler is 40-50 dollars ( 180 W TDP :) ) The comparison I have done is at the hash rate & price level for the two components not the connected devices that are required for them to run.Therefore, to compare AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1080ti for mining is unrealistic. Since the 1080TI (~$1000) has a CryptoNight hash rate of about 830 h/s and an older & cheaper AMD Ryzen 1700X has 725 h/s (~$330) (like you said previously) then I think it's comparable and a good alternative. Not to mention that you can get the CPU anywhere and the GPU is harder to find in shops/online. Nonetheless, let's keep this discussion on topic (CPU mining guide & coins) as there are endless threads about this. Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: markiz73 on June 20, 2018, 03:00:38 PM You write that the GPU is harder to find in shops/online. It's not true. All retailers and secondary market are overloaded with video cards.
I think that the CryptoNight algorithm has nothing to do with the CPU. If it becomes profitable, there will immediately come a lot of GPUs. Most coins from 1 post are decentralized digital money. It is based on CryptoNote anonymous technology. It is forks monero or coins with a similar idea and technology. And to mine them on the CPU hoping for a pamp like a game of roulette :D The only chance to make money on the CPU is to find new coins on algorithms where there is no GPU. Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: vlad230 on June 26, 2018, 10:50:52 AM ... It's clear to me that your crypto currency knowledge is limited. It's amazing that you are a hero member and still don't have a clue on how you can make money here. :( And to mine them on the CPU hoping for a pamp like a game of roulette :D ... Nonetheless, I wish you all the best. :) Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: vlad230 on June 26, 2018, 01:58:09 PM You can look there what is the most profitable cryptonight coin.

Again, this is not mining for immediate profit.Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: vlad230 on August 14, 2018, 10:51:41 AM I've added a new coin to the main page of this thread: Quantum (QRL)
QRL is a cryptonight V7 coin that can bring you 0.35 QRL per day with a hash rate of about 150 h/s. Currently there is a lot of activity related to this coin and I believe it can be a winner long term :) Happy mining :) Title: Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return Post by: daftlad on August 22, 2018, 04:18:03 PM Anyone looked at Binarium money..Looks really good..

Based in this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1573650;sa=showPosts).
