Title: What coin are you mining with your CPU?
Post by: bizzyb on August 22, 2014, 10:32:31 AM
Just wondered if there was a consensus, if any, and why....

I am mining Monero with my CPUs

Everyone will tell you the coin they support to mine. Do your research. Cryptonote coins are good for CPU mining anyway.

I am mining Monero with my CPUs

Not profitable anymore, there is GPU mining for Monero already..

GPUs for cryptonotes arent optimized enough. It is actually as profitable. Well it depends on your CPU of course. Last time i checked high end CPUs were better than GPUs especially when you take into account electricity.

I mine various cryptonotes on Minergate (http://bit.ly/1l6hUPe). There it's easy to switch between coins according to fluctuations in difficulty.

That is useful thanks, and more importantly, looks "active".

1 750ti do 250 for something like 35w, can a high-end cpu do better?

if you want to mine with cpu, there is only slimcoin or the one with romgh, i forgot the name

I've been mining Monero mostly and been turning a good profit. Right now I've been mining about:
65% Monero
30% Ducknote
5%  Various other CN coins (Dashcoin, Infinium-8, Quazarcoin)


1 750ti do 250 for something like 35w, can a high-end cpu do better?

I get about 270 H/s for a 40W rise at the wall for a desktop CPU, and I was told my hashrate is low for my cpu. But I can't verify that claim because I can't test yam miner. Either way, GPUs don't have much of an advantage right now.

Are there profit switching pools for cpu coins?

that's interesting, i didn't know that the difference was so small, but gpu isn't optimized very well anyway, christian version do a much greater hashrate

I have been mining folding coin with CPU.
I didn't know why my GPU can not be detected.

You can mine PXC(Neoscrypt) with your cpu : http://pxc.theblocksfactory.com/

Feathercoin & UFO will implement Neoscrypt soon
