Aside from Pascal Coin which can only be mined efficiently with CPU power, are there any good ones that CPU miners can mine?

Say, a machine with 72 to 128 CPUs.

Would like to try something interesting and actually get some shares and maybe a couple of coins.

Thanks,

Check this 2 sites that I found in google below.

I don't find any other source if what are CPU minable coins you able to mine.
And I think most of the CPU miner stay mining with XMR.

Isn't that being completely savaged by ASIC's right now, with months until it can be corrected?!

Monero and Bytecoin are the most famous coins in Cpu mining arena and I already envy your setup of 128 Cpu-s.

If you start mining with them you would do a big favour to yourself, trust me on that, if you have cheap electricity.

Monero has been taken over by Asics but some other forms of Cryptonight like V8 heavy is still in good condition.

Having all those Cpu-s and keeping them idle is not a very productive thing to do.

Your about 9 years too late if your trying to mine with a CPU.....

Even the GPU days are dying with Monero and Ethereum getting invaded with asics and the problem is only getting worse.

but ETH fork to kill ASICs is in 2 days. Monero in 2-3 weeks. Don't remember the date

the postponed Constantinopole update is scheduled for 28th feb if i am not mistaken

Note he didn't say he was going to mine with "a CPU"...

He said he was going to mine with 72 to 128 muthafukkin' CPUs!! ;D


There's a slight difference there. I bet he'll be making a penny or two.

Try UPX.

Thanks all  :)

I wasn't following the ETH Constantinople thing very well.  Or other coins; I appreciate the links and suggestions.  I follow things as much as I can outside my work and I'm quite a fanatic so I was surprised I only had vague memories of CPU minable coins in one of those links.

Yeah, 72 CPU or 128 CPU rig to begin with, one or the other, I could do 256 CPUs later if it seems worth a try.  I can mine Pascal Coin since it's really only minable on CPUs, but gotta have several AMD server CPUs to justify mining there; it makes money but not quite enough to cover costs unless there's big gains in prices later.  I got into these big rigs since I finished the mining part of my own Pascal Coin miner, and assembling it for testing with the latest testnet.  Should be fun.

Yeah, but I use them for other things I need, and mine sometimes for the fun of it.  So they aren't mining rigs as such, but they do nice work and find a lot of shares even with difficult coins like Pascal Coin.

it really is not that big of a deal.... 128 cors really is not a game changer in the least!
with the XEON PHI or many other solutions , that amount of cores is a every day run of the muck machine!
example .  =Dell PowerEdge R820
4 cpu with up to 22 cores each that would give 176 cpu processing threads
up to 1.5 terabyte of DDR4 ram

and that is without adding a xeon phi or other .

as for mining coins ... its awesome to watch it slamm those thread lines in the miner but at the end of the day  you lose money

mining with CPU is NONSENSE. It's not profitable.

BTW, a 128 cpu computer can be a Supercomputer. I don't think you are willing to use public or private equipment to try to get money out of it right???

Yeah, I have a few with a lot of cores now I use for various things, but I have a machine with 8x Xeon physical CPUs that's quite good for an entry level high compute.  Later I'd like to get into the AMD EPYC CPUs but I don't think I'll be able to do that for a year or so yet.  Each CPU is around $5k I think, I could go slowly with boards in a rack mount that can handle 2x EPYC 7000-series 32-core CPUs and start collecting them.

There are good ways of designing coins that are CPU minable only by having highly serial PoW algorithms, which are amazingly ASIC and GPU resistant, also having high and fast memory requirements where parallelism isn't feasible.  The problem with that is that it can't be too hard otherwise the average person at home can't mine and get any coins.  If they do, those with big rigs will get pretty much all of them.  That's why I like the idea that sprang out of LuckyCoin, the predecessor to DogeCoin (I think...)

So it essentially becomes a lottery coin.  It can be mined on your mobile phone as well.  The PoW rewards according to what random type of selection you make in advance (e.g. 8 hex chars in sequence of the next block hash).  The first to submit with the earliest timestamp wins the block reward.  For a long in-sequence PoW the block reward could be 100 coins; for any 5 out of 10 maybe 1 coin, and a lot of people could share in that.  It would have to be a big or infinite supply coin though, perhaps.  The hard part is how to prevent knowing what the next block hash (double SHA512 of the block) is going to be.  Mobile phone mining could become popular by having an app that submits your hex chars to the network every 5 minutes or so, timestamped and eventually the network will reject submissions and the earliest timestamp with winning "lotto numbers" of the upcoming block hash takes the coins, which could be a lot of people in the case of high probability finds.  Faking the timestamp could be attempted although full nodes would check them out to ensure they seem reasonable, within some condition like timestamp T must be 2 minutes ago < T < 2 minutes before next expected block hash found.  The actual block hashes could only be submitted very quickly within the expected time interval containing the block header and transactions, so there's that option for other miners with electricity to contribute to the network; those finding the SHA512d(block) would always claim an N coin reward.  They would be excluded from submitting lottery mining tickets, though.  This coin would probably still eat a little too much power but otherwise be a lot eco-friendly than coins that consume enormous amounts of power to keep running.

Armagerd it's almost 6am and I'm rambling already.  ;D   

Not yet but I'm getting there.  The wild lab could be in a year.  :)

You can on rentals with a lot of cores, on occasion.  When the price of Pascal goes up you can get a few in a couple of hours which might cost you about US $10, the idea would be to hold if you think they'll come out of the ~ US 25c per PASC range.  I have made pennies.  ;D  A couple of times a few dollars for beer money, nothing really  worthwhile.

On GPU rigs, I don't think there's anything out there to justify renting big GPU rigs for mining.  GCP have business invoice deals where you can mine all you want with big quota increases but you need the invoice for the year, and have to have spent $2,500 for three months.  That's a bit much to spin up a few 8-GPU instances unless you just get really lucky and recover everything, and profit on top.  The saving grace of GPUs I think are their versatility.  CPUs are out for most, almost everything.  ASICs can quickly become useless and once everyone starts snapping them up, if you're a smaller mining operator then you could be on a losing streak, especially if the coin goes down in a hurry.

BiblePay (BBP)

Also CPU Miners Club keeps track of active CPU coins:
https://discordapp.com/invite/cc4jCB6

You may try mine Cranpay (CRP) that use YesPoWer algo.
For YesPoWer GPU is slower than CPU.

Depends on the amount of cpus but you wont do it for the gains indeed.

I was interested in this a while ago and ended up with the CryptoNight algo and bittube as coin.
JSEcoin is maybe a coin to look into and test as well, it is a browser based coin but can mine out of a windows application.

Last fall I tested TERA https://discord.gg/B8heUUy. The coin has its own complicated algorithm, while it is promising for mining. As now with the mining will not tell you, but I think if you're interested then read their discord. A big plus is that you can immediately sell coins in your wallet for btc without using external exchanges.

I don't really think mining with CPUs currently could be very profitable. Well, you could try that with the new crypto coins which are mineable. With them their difficult levels are not as the already available coins.

You will not earn much on coin mining on processors. Except that to buy expensive processors but it certainly will not be profitable. I know that a year ago I was extracting XMR on processors, but I doubt that now it is profitable. Recently I tried mining one new coin on a processor then in 2 hours I did not find any block

Yeah It's true that most of CPU miner like to mine XMR (Monero) coin. It's comfortable and profitable for them.   

I remember doing mining Biblepay. Interesting coin with a unique algorithm. In the beginning it was very profitable. It seems that recently the price of the coin has decreased significantly.
This discord channel discusses promising coins for mining on the CPU?

I think monero is best suitable to be mined using Cpu rig. That is what my friend uses . He told me not long ago that it's so
mining monero using Cpu rig and that it's profitable but not to be compared with how it was initially.

I heard that with the help of CPU mining, you can attract QuarkChain. I think this is a promising project and maybe this kind of mining can also bring profit in the future.

simply mine new coin that pops up here on forum every day. And hope for listing on exchange

Turtlecoin is not only for CPU. The coin can be mined on the GPU.
Now I do not know a profitable coin to CPU only. Find nothing... :-\

Monero remains still the best coin to mine with a Cpu and if you have a big datacenter with many physical cpus you can get a wallet which has mining capability built in and take profit from the mining.As long as you have access and you don't pay electricity it means you are going to make a good amount of crypto.

Before i mine in ETN on cpu you can still mine but the difficulty has jumped high its better go with new coins to mine a lot of coins because the difficulty is still low ;)

If Monero implement RandomX in the future, then it would be really nice for you to mine it.

Monero is certainly the perfect solution for mining on a processor, but I would recommend to consider the option with mining Tera Smart Money. Very promising coin.

Banano is interesting coin for CPU mining with Bananominer.
You can contribute in medical research with Folding@Home and get Banano for that  :).

Not only monero but there are some choices to mine with CPU. Ravencoin, aeon can become alternative coins to mine with CPU and it looks like they are having easy difficulty rather than monero as the top of privacy coin.

huh, interesting
i have been pointing my 8700k @ BOID, ROI'd it in 2 months :O
i was quite surprised to see the quick ROI in 2019 on a coin
ill check out bananominer, see if its as good

According to me, Monero coin will be the best coin for mine with CPU rig...
It’s very profitable way for miner.

I'm not a "pro" miner but if I was one, I'd pick a good balance of the cheapest available coin with the highest market volume and capitalization. These are the first to spike when a bullrun in btc occurs. Beyond that its all just a gamble these days. Any "good coin" can get a massive increase in its network difficulty and you'd be left high & dry with no profits.

I think verus coin will be a good coin to mine or you can mine monero is good choice also in mining cpu ;)

Original projects aimed at reviving the very idea of production with an exclusively central processor and which constantly improve the extraction algorithm in order to protect against video cards and asics have very great prospects.
One of these projects is the coin NERVA.
Given the possibility of a potential increase in the price of this coin, it is possible to extract it several times for the future, although mining is profitable even at the current price.

As far as I know that most of miner like to mone Monero coin as a cpu mineable coin. You can try to mine it. Also there have another best cpu mineable coin is Electroneium.
