Title: CPU mining Post by: bit-of-fun on December 15, 2013, 09:29:14 PM Hi everyone,I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what the best coins to mine CPU only are at the moment?
Thanks! Marcus Title: Re: CPU mining Post by: miners78 on December 15, 2013, 09:33:52 PM Litecoin can be mined with the CPU, but a GPU is still the preferred option.
A quick google search returned this guide on how to do it: http://cryptocur.com/litecoin/litecoin-mining/ Title: Re: CPU mining Post by: ilou on December 15, 2013, 10:29:14 PM Honestly with the difficulty litecoin reached by now I don't think it's anywhere near profitable with CPU.
I am new to this and say one month ago when I first intalled cgminer (without GPU on board ) to see what hapened, this looked like a joke. And since then the difficulty has doubled. With a low end GPU, you can still be on the edge of making very little profit vs power consumption, but definitelly I think you need a GPU for litecoin. Having said that I think Ripple / XRP is a good solution as for CPU "mining" (well it's not actually mining but rather rewarding) Don't expect becoming a millionnaire from it though but I find it to be a project that makes sense. And when you think that Google amongst others has been funding the project, well, It can't be all bad of a project I guess.

Look into protoshares (even though they're not technically a coin), memory coin 2.0 just released today, and there are a few other options in the alternate cryptocurrency section.

This, other coins cannot be profitable mined with CPU. Look at PrimeCoin |
