Post by: originalcoin on August 02, 2017, 04:55:23 PM
Is it possible.

Any good coin that can be mined with CPU and must provide good number of coins?

You can try BCN (Bytecoin) with core i5 and Xeon processors, usually netting you about 100-120 coins in a day and if you have a better processor even a bit more. You can try Monero too but this will not provide you a good number of coins , in fact only 0.001-0.01 Monero in a day and with stronger processors a bit more. Mining with CPU has not that good earnings anymore but if you keep your coins, that BCN lately has had a good increase.

Download Minergate software from here https://minergate.com/downloads/gui (https://minergate.com/downloads/gui) install it and it will let you mine BCN automatically without you doing anything.

For more detailed mining BCN there are a lot of Youtube videos, give a look, and also some guides on google but Minergate should be enough for you.

Yes I think you do, or at least I used to use that software in my beginning. It is the same as with Minergate though but you have more power control over your coins so if I remember well, use that one as it gives you more power control.

Those BCN and Monero are only the ones I mine with CPU, however I am sure there are other coins you can try. Keep reading this section of the forum and I am sure you will find other threads which talk about other coins that can be mined with CPU, but I don't think they are more profitable than BCN at the moment.

You can mine Magi with your CPU. It's CPU only.

MYRIAD (XMY) has 5 algorithms, one of which can be CPU mined, and the rewards are shared evenly between the algorithms.

Also, the community is active and there are a few guides to help you mine. You can even mine on your Android phone.

I mine this coin on spare Core 2 duos and make a hundred a day.

Just to add, i would certainly look at AEON for CPU mining, you get double the hashrate and it has been going up massively. They are due some big news too, which should push the price up.
