I see.  I was hoping someone with experience mining Monero could provide a simple answer to my question so I came to the Monero forum.   My question is specific to Monero and Monero mining pools.  I assumed the best place to find people with Monero experience would be in the Monero thread.  Of course the "Pools" thread is about mining pools and some of the millions of posts in that thread are even about Monero mining.  I guess I'll try that thread in the hopes that someone following that threat can answer my Monero question.  Thanks.

Then again, I can mine and trade ZCash and ETH which are both more profitable right now than XMR.

It draws much less power than ETH mining.

Is this coin still CPU mineable?
And if it is, how do I go about it?
Many thanks 

Freaks and Geeks is also a great show. Pity it was cancelled so soon into its life.
