Title: CPU mining with Xeons, what's profitable right now?
Post by: CallMeTomas on May 30, 2018, 05:57:29 PM
Recently I got 3 Haswell Xeons very cheap, a 12 core and 2 14 cores, at first I was going with XMR but there have been so many hard forks on cryptonight-type coins that I'm no longer sure, I've heard Sumokoin is good on CPUs but I know nothing about it, and also other algorithms. Is there a WhatToMine for CPUs? I know it's a pretty noob question but I'm a total noob regarding CPUs so, worth asking. Thanks in advance!

Those are good CPU-s and if you have them in your possession because of your job or have not bought them with your own money you can be making about 2 dollars per day and a bit more if you mine Monero. Also Bytecoin and Electroneum are good choices for processor mining.

7 months ago I used it to mine on ETN but for now, I don't know whether it can be profitable or not. you can find coins that can be mined with the CPU, for more info, see this web:

the site is seriously outdated, and incorrect

As to the original question, I would suggest to try Forager https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3516114.0

It will benchmark the algos on your hardware and show you how much you can earn

thanks for fixing me
for now, I rarely check details on that website but most importantly I've given the point (mineable coin with CPU) to @OP

I would / do choose to mine Monero or ITNS on my CPUs.

Or you can point that CPUs to mine JCEcoin (https://jsecoin.com/o/?a=70613) via browser.

It also has a real purpouse - to replace web banners with consensual mining
and monetize websites content.
If you own a website, you can integrate miner (with visitor's knowledge).
Then they will be asked if they wish to cpu mine JCEcoins (https://jsecoin.com/o/?a=70613) during their stay.

If the guy owns hardware though, why would he mine through a browser when using actual mining software for algos like CryptoNight is likely more optimized and likely more profitable? Besides that, OP hasn't mentioned anything about owning websites yet, and the coin you linked seems very website-oriented.

I second going with XMR. It's been good in the past for mining with CPUs and it's still generally a good choice.
