Title: Any cpu only coins worth mining?
Post by: hedgy73 on September 20, 2014, 11:33:02 PM
Hi all,

Just wondering if there are any cpu coins worth mining at the moment? Not bothered if they're worth anything now but possible future gems.

I've got a couple of half decent quad core systems at home just wondered if its worth using them to mine anything?

I've recently sold my S1's and gpu's because of low returns and I'm missing the mining buzz :'(.

Thanks for confirming, I thought as much. :D no we use them too many for other things mining would just have been a small bonus while they were on.

It is not worth mining for us. Why are there so many CPU coins out there. The electricity cost for those miners must be very cheap.

Some mine no matter what.  With CPU mining it will take a LOT of cores to add up to a decent earning.  And most likely it is at a loss for most people.   CPU is even harder to profit then GPU which many including myself have stopped.

you might want to try [XMG] Magi
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735170.0

current block is 2511 and by block 2700 it will fork to Block rewards to maximum 300 XMG/block
so just the right time to mine it
