Title: Monero CPU mining
Post by: adamantasaurus on October 27, 2021, 02:38:21 AM
so i was looking into setting up a CPU only monero miner I was looking at the threadrippers. DO you guys think its profitable to mine monero with a cpu only like that?

Threadripper (depending on Monero value) will make you about $25.00-$30.00 a month.  Thats if you run it 24/7.

It depends at what threadripper version you are looking at.The best version of them makes about 90 USD monthly running 24/7 but it does not justify its cost which is really expensive.CPU-mining is not recommended nowadays as GPU mining is much more profitable to run,but if you have no other options and own one of such processors go ahead and mine with that.The 3990x ore 3990wx are the best ones right now.

Or he could use a GPU mining on moneroocean.stream and use gminer/phoenixminer with eth and get paid in monero.
It's actually very simple to set up it's more or less the same with any ethash pool and use pass rigid~ethash and use your CPU too if you don't use it for other things.
This is wjat I am doing with 1 of my rigs.

Mining Monero is profitable if you have this processor and can mine on it in your spare time.
And buying a system unit for the sake of mining will be a very reckless investment.
It is better to buy video cards, because they are more versatile and can work with old motherboards and 2-core processors.

such a processor is very expensive we are talking about thousands of dollars, on the other hand its performances are incredible is really fast and can even reach 128 threads, so is it worth buying it to mine monero with cpu? yes, the only drawback is that you have to wait a long time to recover the initial investment

Looking up rabid mining on YouTube. U can mine raptoreum with a ryzen 9 3900x .thats what I'm doing 800$ roi 1.4 yrs maybe.

yep, but the problem is CPU mining is too much power hungry considering the infimal returns, IMHO it's not viable.
