Title: is there any point in cpu mining?
Post by: palamedes on March 05, 2014, 04:24:33 PM
Hi guys,

I'm very new and have a question; 

I have a couple of gpu's mining litecoins at around 200kh/s (is that a lot? I have no idea..) and every minute or two I get an accepted return which is a good thing as I understand it.

I also have my i7-2600 mining for funzies but each of the 8 cores only gets around 6kh/s .. never seen a single accepted from it.  Is there any point in having it mine?

Only "accepted" blocks matter right?

There is no point in CPU mining scrypt coins. You will definitively use more power than you'll earn.
