Title: Joining Pool with CPU
Post by: newIndia on January 05, 2014, 02:04:32 PM
Is it rewarding even in mBTC if I join a pool with CPU ?

using CPU to mine BTC is out of date for the time being,
your reward should be count as uBTCs

Try mining a CPU-only coin like Primecoin. There are some sites that accept Primecoin directly, but you can always exchange for Bitcoin.

I recommend ypool.net for CPU miners, mine primecoin or go down the protoshares rabbithole.

Do you think primecoin or protoshare is more profitable?

Also, Quarkcoin only uses CPU I think. I have never mined those, though, and I don't know anything about their profitability.

I would agree, cpu mining bitcoins or scrypt coins will take ages to reach a pool's payout limit. Primecoin is a much better choice, rpool.net and candypool.net have small payout limits .

mBTC's  :D it's barely in satoshi level. and with all the ASIC's even GPU's are getting outdated. You might some more profit on a CPU only currency like XPM. I tried mining Protoshare for sometime and it wasn't very profitable.

I like the idea of Prime and the developer seems honest, I was thinking of messing with my core allocation so I can cpu while i gpu mine. I've also seen a little bit about Datacoin and Memorycoin just not so much outside of mining alone.

GPUs aren't really outdated, they are just moving to scrypt coins. ;)
