So you've been told CPU mining isn't profitable? WRONG!
Depends on what coin you're mining and what miner you're using!

The most profitable coin/miner pair today is MemoryCoin/M7k yamMiner
On my i7-4770k I make around 24MMCs per day which are around $5-6 at full power.
Mid power ( 4 cores instead of 8 ) which allows you to work on the PC without even feeling a miner is on, will give you half of that.

This tutorial will explain how to setup the miner and what is the preferred computer setup for it.

There are 2 different options here:
1) Easiest - Windows users, with AES-NI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set) supported CPUs (most newer CPUs) who want to mine at full power:
1a) Download MemoryCoin's wallet with the integrated miner (http://memorycoin.org/memorycoin-wallet-0-8-582/)
1b) Choose "Mining -> Launch Pool Miner"
1c) Sit back and let the PC work for you! You'll start getting MMCs directly to your wallet within a few hours

2) Mid-Advanced - Windows / Linux / Mac users who want more control:
2a) Download yam miner from here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2609.0
2b) Choose the right file carefully! If you don't know which file to choose, check your CPU model and google for "YOUR_CPU_MODEL microarchitecture" (for example: "i7 4770k microarchitecture"). CPU-WORLD.com is a good source for that info
2c) unzip the file and play with the settings after reading the readme.txt. Too much text for you? Short version:

• Edit yam-mmc.cfg
• Put your wallet address instead of the default one in all lines you see a wallet address
• Change params if you want: av=0 means finetuning for best result (might take a few minutes but is usually worth it), m=total memory to use (1024 minimum and 1024 multiplications only), t=number of threads
• Copy yam-mmc.cfg to the folder containing the yam "executable" and run yam -c yam-mmc.cfg
  
• Watch the progress or watch for any errors and change the params if needed
  

That's it!
Easy, right?
You bought a computer (or even better - the boss bought it for you) - Don't let it sit idle. Turn it into a crypto-coin money making machine.

Enjoy.
Feedback and questions are welcome.

You will not lose income and the PC stays responsive if you use 7 cores and start yam in idle priority.

start /low /affinity 7f "yam -c yam-mmc.cfg"

Great tip!
Thanks!

i always mine using 5 out of 6 cores let me use my computer at the same time and stream videos etc

Yep.
5 out of 6 is great if you mostly do "low computation" tasks.
And the new miner also lets you use the minimal 1024 ram with great performance so no problem there either.

I can't get yam miner to work

Shoot your questions.
Tell me what's wrong and paste your yam-mmc.cfg

I got the miner to work but how much ram should i use i have 8 gb

Depending on your needs and number of cores.
The ideal config is 1gb per thread, but it works well even with 1gb total.
The more you can spare, the merrier.

that what i though but for some reason it only using 1 gb in total

threads = 5
mining-params = mmc:av=1&aesni=on&m=1024
mine = getwork://imdabest239.123:1234567890@mmc.gpools.com:8080/mmc
compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0

m=1024 means use 1024 in total :)
If you want more, put more here.
(m is not per thread, it's the total amount of memory to use)

when i try to add more it crashes strange you can see i have enough ram

how to do a screen shot (http://postimage.org/app.php)

got it to work my dumbass forgot windows only lets you use 6 out of 8 gb ram

Hi,

Thanks for the tips, will this be faster than Minerd?

Rgds

Marc

Great! :)
Happy mining

Much faster, mainly if you have AES-NI... Try it out and compare.

Dont think i have AES, i run Athlons but ill give it a try.

Thanks

Is this only for 64bit OS? is there a 32bit version?

Rgds

Ratters

There is a 32bit version as well.
Not the one integrated with the wallet.
You'll have to take route #2 and do it manually.

By the way, my personal recommendation is to place mmcpool on the top of the list (in case you're doing it manually) so your yam-mmc.cfg will look something like that:

Yes - I agree - better to have mmcpool on top to even out the pool balance.

i been mining for hours and only have 0.05981898 mmc  :'(

Keep in mind that the mined blocks need to be confirmed.
Check your balance in the pools through the wallet:
Choose "Mining -> Pool Balance" and choose all 3 to see your page (if any).

What's the HPM that you see?
What CPU do you have?
What are the settings you use?

Sounds like this will be a little risky to the processor due to the heat factor, at least if one has a regular stock cpu-fan...
however this risk can of course be lowered by using less cpu threads or by getting some quality cooling system for the processor  ::)
just thought I should point this out before someone bbq's their processor ;D

 

Itsik78, what is your hpm to get 24mmc per day?
Do u have a server with one i7 4770k?

Thanks

Thanks for the guide, it gave a huge bump to my HPM.

Very happy to hear that!

I don't know, but as I said - I highly recommend mining at mmcpool

Answered your PM

How does yamMiner compare the wallet miner? How many more coins would I generate by switching over to yamMiner?

If you mean the pool miner that is integrated with the newest wallet (Version 0.8.582) then they are the same.
As I wrote - if you have Windows and AES-NI enabled CPU + 64 bit, you're all set to go with the integrated miner.
If not, follow option 2 in my post as you'll have to make it work manually.

Here's a nice fresh cloud mining guide using free credit:

I am going to give this a try.

Good luck!

I do mining, with pool from wallet. With my Intel Core I5-2430m 2.40 Ghz.
I dont feel like 2 coins maby each day is worth it. or wath should i prefere?

Trying to get this started, but I'm having issues getting things going. I changed the wallet addresses, added threads, tried mem at 1024 up to 7168, set to finetune, pasted .cfg into the yam.exe.

threads = 7
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=on&m=7168
mine = getwork://MTb1JHjoJCSJBjTLUgqeyJ1nXxYxBRJEUX@work.mmcpool.com:80:8880:8881:8882:8883/mmc

compact-stats = 1

specs
3770k, 16gb mem

yam just opens and the closes right away.
Is there something else I need to do?

Did you download the ivy-Bridge variant?
Is your OS 64 bit?
What OS is that?

Try downloading the SandyBridge variant of the miner from the 2nd route in my original post (note the OS and 32/64 bits variants and choose the correct one).
Then configure it manually using my instructions there.
This should generate better results.

yes, I downloaded yam-yvg1900-M7k-win64-ivy-bridge.zip and I'm running win8 64-bit. Does the application automatically know to look for the yam.cfg when its in the same folder as the exe? Do I need to create a .bat file? if so what should it look like?

Oh, so according to your question you're not running it correctly :)
run:
It doesn't look for it automatically - you have to tell it to use the config file.

Got it. I went ahead and created a batch file and changed up my config.

So again this is for the 3770k(stock), 16gb ram, windows 8 64-bit:

threads = 8
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=on&m=8192
mine = getwork://MCQqnZX5GgfdoBPVKY6iXuq4C4Ze2HxbS3@work.mmcpool.com:80:8880:8881:8882:8883/mmc
mine = getwork://MCQqnZX5GgfdoBPVKY6iXuq4C4Ze2HxbS3@mmcpool.1gh.com:8080:8081:8082:8083/mmc
mine = getwork://yvg1900.mmc_1:x@mmc.gpools.com:8080/mmc
#proxy = socks4a://127.0.0.1:9150
compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0


With these setting I get between 8-8.4 HPM; does that seem accurate?


edit:

After letting it sit all night the hpm went up further

https://i.imgur.com/NiKVHb1.jpg

8.4 HPM is awesome for this CPU.
Seems great.
Note that you've activated fine tuning (av=0) as I suggested.
This means it will try a variant of algorithms and find the best one for your config.
Check the printouts to see what's the best AV (algorithm variation) is for your config and change your batch file to that av to save the fine tuning time next time.
In most cases, av=1 is the best one, but sometimes I saw av=2 performing better and maybe with other specs, other AVs are better...

Thanks for sharing!

Something doesn't add-up for me here.

I have a i7-2600 and the following table says I can mine at only 3 HP/m.
http://mmcwiki.com/memorycoin_mining_intel_hardware_comparison

Then using this calculator, I can earn only 2.32 MMC per day?
http://agran.net/memorycoin2_calc.html

This table is outdated.
The new miner is about 3 times more efficient than what you see in the table

Can anyone say what's going on ;]? (i7 2600 8Gb Ram)

When I start miner i get a Warning.

(Memory Usage 1024)
Warning: MemoryCoin2 memory block for thread 0 allocated in non-hugepages memory - thread preformance may degrade...

If i set Memory usage to 2048, I get same error for thread 0 and 1 etc. (4096 - 0, 1, 2, 3)

And doesn't matter how much memory i use, my HPM is always about ~9


Thanks itsik78! That solved my problem.

Download the miner and read hugepages-win64.txt (or the one related to your OS)
Follow the instructions if you want to help the miner work better... :)

Nice mann, tanx alot. I wil truy later :)

Hi all,

I tried doing the "launch pool miner" method through the wallet last night and let it run for 10 hours, but only ended with about 0.5 MMC. I'm using a 4670k overclocked to 4.2GHz. Does this seem accurate? Looks awfully low to me, even without being able to hyperthread to 8 cores from my 4 cores.

I can't really say as I haven't tried it.
But according to this: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Xeon%20E3-1220.html
It has AES-NI support which means it should perform well.

The profit calculator is accurate. The data in the wiki isn't accurate (the HPM there is for the old miner which was around 1/3 as efficient as the current one...)

Sounds very low indeed.
First of all, check your unconfirmed balance at the pools. It takes around 10 hours for the blocks to mature, so that might be your problem.

If that's not the case I advise you to go through option 2 in my original post and download the miner manually - then you'll have more control and it will be more efficient.

I really can't say.
If we go for a rough estimate (and assuming you have a nice amount of memory) according to this benchmark: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E3-1220+%40+3.10GHz
The performance is around 60% of i7-4770.
i7-4770 can make between $5 to $10 per day. This means that you'll most probably make more.
VERY ROUGH ESTIMATE. I'm not taking responsibility for this info :)

I don't think there are 2 HPMs.
You probably mean SPM and HPM.

The HPM in the miner is quite accurate and usually the pool will show a very similar number.

Please can you link me to the 32 bit version.

Rgds

Ratters

wallet stuck synco at three weeks any info?

Try adding nodes using our Node Explorer:
http://www.mmc-chain.com/?engine=nodeexplorer

(In the wallet: "Help"->"Debug Window"->"Console" and type:
addnode <node address> add
addnode <node address> onetry

For example:
addnode q39.protoshar.es add
addnode q39.protoshar.es onetry

Sorry, just noticed there's no 32 bit miner.
I haven't tried it on a 32bit system. It might work (slower of course).
Please download the 64bit and let us know if it works.

Thanks

I'm crashing with no errorcode right from the getgo on the XEON E5-2620 which is Sandy Bridge supposedly.

??  lol

I don't have to register with the pool, correct?

The problem with your config is that you gave more than 1024 memory per thread...
1 thread is maximum 1024.
So either change the threads to 2 or the memory to 1024 and it should work.
If it still doesn't, check carefully what the error is (it has very nice and explanatory printouts).
You don't need to register with the pool.

According to the above the mem# is total for all threads. I did try 2 and same thing...

There are no errorcodes. Crashes immediately. I even tried to > log.txt and it was empty.

Sorry,
Can't think of any reason that would happen.

Try contacting the developer (yvg1900) by pasting your question as a reply to his forum post (the one I'm linking to in my post).

Did you try m=1024?  That parameter is per-thread, believe me, I have used it. Whoops, it's total mem.

Yes.

http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40920348/yamcrash.jpg

What does it say under "view problem details"?

Also, make sure it is a multiple of 1024 . . . 2048 or 3072 or 4096 etc.

Sorry, can't think of anything here.
What OS is that?
32/64 bits?
How much ram do you have?
What CPU do you have?

The answers to your question are in post 61  ^

Cant figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I have an i5 4670k with 16GB ram.

running yam -c yam-mmc.cfg from the prompt gives me the error 'yam' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

thanks

run it from a batchfile that is in the same directory with the yam.exe and the cfg file

perfect thanks.

out of curiosity, what might I do to optimize my config?

i5 4670 16GB ram

current config file:

threads = 0
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=on&m=1024

Ok, I just happened to get a used XEON delivered yesterday with Nehalem.
I did get the program to run with no aesni:

Thank you!

 Got a 3770k + 8gb ram, using ivy miner 64bit,
   threads = 7
mining-params = mmc:av=1&aesni=on&m=4096

compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0


 Copied the mmc.cfg to win64-ivy-bridge folder
 created a bat file with contents of mmc.cfg
 When I try to run it just flashes by.

 I'm running the miner with the wallet now and setting priority and affinity from task manager, I also have 2 gpu miners going and when running the wallet miner it lowers wu's.
 If I could get the other one going might get better performance, right now SPM 7.24 HPM 6.587

The batch file content should be:
yam -c <yam config file>
For example:
yam -c yam-mmc.cfg

(and not the contents of your mmc.cfg file)

Other params look good.

As for GPU mining on the same machine. GPU mining needs the memory as well... So the more memory you give the CPU miner the more degrading you'll see for the GPU mining.
Try playing with it going from the minimum m=1024 and upwards.

 Yep that did it, have it set at threads = 4, m=1024 and it hasn't affected the gpu mining, the load on cpu is about 55-60%  SPM 8.14 HPM 6.6

Great

Im getting around 11HPM using the following config:

Threads= 0
mining-params = mmc:av=0&aesni=on&m=1024

I have a 4670k not currently overclocked, and 16GB ram.

Is there any room to improve on that configuration?

thanks

more threads & more mem like 2 and 2048, etc.

This CPU has 4 threads, so you can increase memory usage to 4096 (m=4096 instead of m=1024).
This will increase the HPM a bit.
Other than that, now that you've ran fine tuning (av=0) take a look at the printouts and see what av was chosen (gives the best HPM) and change the av=0 to this av (to avoid rerunning the fine tuning again).

Actually, Threads=0 means use all available threads, so no way to increase that. But you're right regarding memory, as I wrote above.

Ah, I thought zero was like 1, like in an array the first position is zero.

There was a big drop of hash when another coin claiming to be a CPU coin was released 3 days ago.
Since this coin already has very efficient GPU miners and people haven't switched back fully to mine MMCs yet, there's a great opportunity now!
The difficulty went down along with the hash, so you could mine more MMCs for the same power!
Don't miss out.

Thanks a lot and happy mining to me. In fact, it's just today I found out about Memorycoin.

thanks very much everyone.  Oddly enough, increase the memory to 4096 actually drops the HPM down to around 8.

Happy mining!


Yep. The developer of the miner (yvg1900) mentioned that it could happen.

 Do you have another link to the different os yam miners, your link is down, https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2609.0

 Got a 4670k putting out 10HPM so yeah happy, except I can only get it to run on 4 cores and that will not allow me to gpu mine, the 2500k/ 3770k/ L5639 all allow me to specify how many cores to mine on, every time IO set it to anything other than 4 it crashes.

 I've changed av=1 doesn't help, change threads to anything other than 4 and it won't run.

I never understood why some of my rigs have a sharp GPU hashrate decrease even when using only 3/4 cores, while other rigs with less powerful cpus hash perfectly fine (no hashrate decrease) even when using 2/2 or 4/4 cores.

Any experience with this?

Question, could I theoretically mine MemoryCoin with my CPU and mine another altcoin with my GPU at the same time?

Edit: or could I mine MemoryCoin with my CPU and GPU at the sime time? Or another altcoin with both simultaneously?

Hello
I have problem to set up my computer. I was trying two files for my processor, ivy and sandy bridge but still I have:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12965791/yam/yam.png

and yam.exe has stopped working.
Any idea?
Win8 64 bit .

I checked and AES - IN is disabled or I don't have becouse I checked all tutorials and I can''t go to bios.
thanks

You can definitely mine MemoryCoin on your CPU and mine another coin on your GPU (MemoryCoin's GPU mining is very non-profitable).
Note that it would be best if you leave memory and at least 1 CPU thread available for your GPU mining.

What CPU do you have?
Try the generic version - it might be more stable if you're not sure about your CPU's microarchitecture.

When I start up the L5639 rig it says huge pages not available / performance may suffer,  also says error 1300.

Does it work or crash?
Read the hugepages readme file attached to the miner for more info on how to improve performace.

It works, looks just like the screenshot mranonymus took a couple posts up, I'll read it and see what it says , thanks.

Hi,

Getting this displayed while running yam

Error: Invalid content length received from [work.mmcpool.com:80]
Info: Reconnect to [work.mmcpool.com:80] in 41 seconds
Found solution - 12019 / 1968 /

but a bit farther it displays


work.mmcpool.com: Failure, Shares Submitted 0, Accepted 0
mmcpool.1gh.com: On-line, Shares Submitted 9, Accepted 9
mmc.gpools.com: Idle, Shares Submitted 0, Accepted 0

Just wondering what these means. Do I still get MMC even if it is only the mmcpool.1gh.com working?

Thanks. 

It looks fine.
It seems that MMCPool was down for a bit when you tried submitting shares, so it used redundancy and started mining on 1gh pool (and will do so until MMCPool gets back online).
Both pools maintain a balance and a minimum payout of (AFAIK) 0.5 MMC so you will get your MMC when it reaches that minimum.

Enjoy!

Hello,
Im just trying this system as it seems easy for a mid-noob like me. Also coz my GPU is a crappy GeForce 220, but i have an i5 2.80 Ghz with 4Gb RAM.

I downloaded the wallet/miner, at last something that dont need from my inexistant coding skills xD
But.... Unfortunately i dont mine anything :-( or at least thats what i see when i click on Pool balance button and carries me to a web that apparently tracks my results... Suggestions/protips for this noob? Thanks a lot!

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb250/orlandofriki/MMCscreenshot.jpg

EDIT:
It seems its mining, but with a HPM of 0.5 / 0 and CONNECTED YES/NO from time to time.
Any way i can set up the wallet miner to use 2 Gb instead 1 and 2 processors? (my i5 has 4)

Thanks a lot in advance!

hello,

this is the first time i am trying to mine
i got a laptop with a i7-3630qm
i downloaded the wallet and stared the pool miner
it is working good as far i can see
it is running at a 0.205139 hashes per minute
but is got some questions:
what can i do with the mmc i earned?
how do i safely close the program?

How can I finf out which CPU is best for mining? Is there a site that compares different CPUs and shows their hashrate?

Glad to see you're mining!
As for custom configurations - We will release a more configurable wallet miner in a future version (it's in our todo list already)..
As for your HPM - it's pretty low. You might want to try the little bit harder way of mining (the second part of my post) to try and increase that.

Very low HPM... As I wrote above, try the second part of my post by downloading the miner manually.
You can buy a lot of things with your MMCs as we're in CoinPayments, so any site that accepts CoinPayments accepts MMC.
If you close the miner window it will stop mining (if that's what you want to do - closing the window will close it safely).


Here's a list of CPUs and their HPMs.
NOTE that you should look at the YAM Miner HP/m column and not the other ones as they are far behind in performance.

Running yam-yvg1900-M7m-win64-ivy-bridge.  Running memory coin wallet 0.8.583.0 unk-beta.  I like it better than the standalone since I can jump to that webpage where it gives my mmc stats.  

yam-mmc.cfg settings are:

Running three threads instead of four threads because with four I can't work at all on my system.  I just upgraded my system ram from 4 to 8 gigs. I've tried changing memory settings to 512 but program says it's too small and minimum needs to be 1024 per thread.  I tried going above 3072 and got the same error message (1024 per thread).

I googled this:

https://www.google.com/#q=how+to+enable+large+page+support+in+windows+7+

went into this link:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190730%28v=sql.120%29.aspx


To enable the lock pages in memory option

    On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.

    The Group Policy dialog box opens.

    On the Group Policy console, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand Windows Settings.

    Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.

    Select the User Rights Assignment folder.

    The policies will be displayed in the details pane.

    In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.

    In the Local Security Policy Setting dialog box, click Add.

    In the Select Users or Groups dialog box, add an account with privileges to run sqlservr.exe.


Foofoobean (my pc) was already set as a user.  I also added "everyone" as a user.  I tried adding "users" but that didn't work.  Then I rebooted and tried again.  Same error message as above.

My HPM right now is around 6.5.  I'm hoping with hugepages enabled  I will get higher output.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  

HI all, i'm running on ubuntu server, it run well.
But i hear someone on ypool memtion that if we can enable the huge and also attach thread to physical socket, it would be more performance?
Anyone know how to setup the numactl and huge please help.
My server config as below.


Thanks.

Both of you are better off asking yvg1900 (the miner programmer) on this thread:
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2609.0

Thanks itskik78.  I'll give it a shot over there.

What version of Yam Miner do I use with an AMD FX 8150 processor with the Bulldozer microarchitecture?  I need to use the second option so I can set it to use only 7 of the processors.

Try the generic one.
If it doesn't work, ask yvg1900 in the forum post I've linked to on my original post.

what is this address in list of pools ?

mine = getwork://yvg1900.mmc_1:x@mmc.gpools.com:8080/mmc

why is it in format for username yvg1900 with worker mmc_1 and password x ?

does this mean one can use anyone of ( walletkey OR username.worker.password for gpools ?

What about people who have CPU with no AES-NI support. I have 20 x Core2Quad without AES-NI and MMC is unprofitable for me...
Quark, PTS some time ago was very profitable...

This is the dev's credentials.
You can register on mmc.gpools.com and enter your own username and worker instead.

Older CPUs usually don't perform very well for this coin, but it's still worth trying to see how it compares to other CPU coins.

I've seen it mentioned several times in this thread to initially set Av to 0, then watch printout (I assume this refers to the dos window) to see what Yam picks, then change that in the bat file.  I have been running for about 20 minutes now, AV started at 1 then about 5 minutes later went to AV 2........then 1bout 10 minutes later went to AV 3.

How do I know which one is best to use?


Thanks!

You can see what yam eventually picks as the best option and then change it in the batch file.

Gotcha.....thanks!!

I downloaded yam-yvg1900-M7n-win64-ivy-bridge, i have i3-3220 (Ivy Bridge).

This is my config:
http://pastebin.com/PxvzUKP0

Client shut down without error. Tho it does return errors before checks who are all returned "OK"

https://i.imgur.com/KqlPWko.jpg

This CPU doesn't seem to support AES-NI which means you need to change:
to

Wait for a Cuckoo Cycle coin to come out (https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo).
That will run very well on your system...

I'm looking through the links for #2 and I see all types of win64 downloads but no win32? Where are the win32 downloads?
Thank you.

i downloaded the wallet with integrated pool miner, when i started it, malwarebytes intercepted it and stopped it, saying it contained Trojan.BitcoinMiner

is it safe to use without risking infecting the machine, no sense in mining if i end up exposing my network to attacks.

Every software that comes with an integrated miner triggers an AntiVirus alert.
This case is a false positive.

If you want to feel safer - just download the wallet without the miner and download the miner separately.

Right now an i7 4770 will earn $0.02 per day...

Not so profitable as before...

NNEEEEEXXXTTTTT!!!!

2 cents per day is a very low estimate... More like 50 cents per day.
And yes, of course it was more profitable when Bitcoin's price was higher and the block reward was almost double (at the time of originally writing this post).

But still, making $15 monthly from scratch is still nice...

Which other coins do u mine with cpu

hi
i hav core i7 3930k with asus  rampage exterme iv with 16gb ram and download yam-yvg1900-M7v-win64-sandy-bridge (win 7)

configure my file

batchfile y.bat
yam.exe --config yam-mmc.cfg

and

yam-mmc.cfg

threads = 8
mining-params = mmc:av=1&aesni=on&m=4096

compact-stats = 1
print-timestamps = 0

but when run y.bat  crashing and show this error  yam has stopped working

what do am i fix it

XMR ?

i mine drk with ccminer (algoritn use of x11)

oh sry i think sppeak with me

Any updates on CPU mining? Is it still reasonable? Which coin is most profitable?

Have a look at Magi (XMG). It's not a pump and dump coin with a strong community.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735170.0

No, it's not profitable anymore to mine coins using CPU, you better get GPU to earn more from mining alt coins, ASIC is not recommended

m7m, or monero, there are not many options

or use cpu for folding, with gpu

Magi (XMG) is a good coin, it has a good thing going on. If you are going to start mining with cpu , Magi is a safe bet.

thanks ;)
pointed my miners already

Vanillacoin deserves a mention when it comes to cpu mining.

vanillacoin.net (http://vanillacoin.net)
Read the whitepaper direct link (http://vanillacoin.net/papers/vanillacoin.pdf)
Interesting note:
On my dual core chromebook (running kde via crouton), miner uses 50% of cpu power at 210KH/s. on my  i7 it uses 25% 700KH/s, but the KH/s doesn't seem to matter much anyways, as both wallets have received about the same amount of coins. Dev says this is part of the algo, to promote a fair distribution. The dev claims he is mining this coin with only 1 macbook at 330KH/s.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: I WOULD NOT  BUY THIS COIN. AGAIN, DO NOT BUY THIS COIN!!!!!  Most of the code is still closed source!!
If you have fun mining coins (like me), and like what the dev is cooking, then point a cpu at it.
I am not the dev and sure as hell dont have the skills to code this coin.
The way I see it, this coin is really something cool. Read the whitepaper. Then again, the  devs name is john-connor, and anytime someone throws a terminator reference his way, it goes over his head, he could just be the greatest most dedicated troll i've ever seen.
EDIT: TO CLARIFY TO NOT PUT ACTUAL MONEY INTO THIS COIN, JUST A BIT OF TIME AND CPU POWER IF IT INTERESTS YOU.

 
I think it's on the topic :

[ANN][XMR] One Click Monero Miner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613072.0)

I'm using an AMD Athlon X4 750K and its saying that the Microarchitecture is   Piledriver. What version do i use?

Thanks will look into this when I get home.

GlobalBoost-Y is still profitable to mine with CPU.  It can also be mined with GPU, but there is not much advantage.

hi all, 1)is there any CPU-only mining coin avaliable? 2)Is there any profitable coin to mine with CPU?

There is a coin cold XMG, it is designed to be CPU mineable only. But I think it is not very profitable to mine now.

HOdlcoin is good to CPU mine at the moment. You can mine a few blocks, then term deposit it to get a 3500% return (35 times) in one years time. Pretty simple to do -

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1317918

funny there is no web to check performance of all the cpu-only mineable coins

very usefull links thanks for sharing with use i am collecting some link to bookmark and i think it better to build a super pc to start a mining with different mining pool and mining tools.. i will try to choose what is better and what is the best to choose..

Pumping this thread up again, because I have the same question and things tend to move quite fast in cryptocoins. And I have one option to add to this question 3) somewhat botnet resistant? I know there isn't many of these, Bytecent is one, but they are very strict, not very profitable atm and bans third miner that is mining in a same network(ip).

Botnets are still mining HOdl and XMG I guess?  ::) Any really memory intensive cpu coins atm, that are still alive?

Long story short: no, there isn't. The typical lifecycle of these coins has been around 2 years at best.

HOdlers voted for a change recently to require miners to HOdl their block reward for 1 year - that's scared off the botnets and mine2dumpers - so you can mine HODL pretty easily now, but only if you're a HOdler.

Try Bitcedi, difficulty is pretty much low and it's trading at https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=BXC_BTC.

Check their Post here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1474935

Happy cpu mining :D

I tried to mine HOdl , but I have only 6H/s on a laptop with Intel quad core 2.16 cpu , and on minergate i have 20H / s . Is there any chance to get better hashrate for HOdl with my laptop?

It is the big problem, with only a computer mining now is worthless, it is the problem of actual cpu minable algos, big guys with botnet kill the small fishes like us, 20 hs is quite good performance you will not can get more at moment.

You can mine Zcash. I think based on the price Zcash is most profitable at the moment. Stick with it. Try flypool for mining zcash. Other than Zcash, I reccommend XMR. If nothing works, stick with folding

Forget about just folding - there are a lot of distributed computing projects based on BOINC.

Hello what are coins that are supported by folding and how profitable all of coins mined through folding?

Is there any Profitable CPU mining available?
Can we make one?
 :D :D

I heard VerusCoin (VRSC) is an excellent cpu-mineable coin. It is relative with the Komodo platform network. And for that I believe it is very exciting.

Another coin I also hear about being cpu-mineable is BiblePay coin.

Just try to check them out.

Happy new year guys!  ;)
