Is anyone still CPU mining?

[838901608]

I stopped CPU mining.

[Arcas]

You would be better off mining with an abacus.

[Deathwing]

I think no one left mining with cpu in 2013

I tried CPU mining for litecoins, didn't really work out... I was considering in my next rig doing GPUs and also doing a AMD and mining with the APU. Right now I just have some super cheap celerons in my 2 rigs...

I did play with the thought of mining, but never really got round to it and just invested in coins instead.

CPU mining that's where its at !

What makes you think that, are you experienced in it.

I'm doing it on my laptop just to test how everything works (for a few days) before I look into getting high level GPU rigs since I'm just starting out. I think I get around 40kh/s mining Litecoins which isn't good but I have my laptop running anyway. When I figure out how everything works I'll switch to a GPU rig.

[ZKRiNG]

And why not GPU + CPU?

[MartinReynolds]

If I ever decided to set up a Litecoin rig, I would build a GPU rig.

Not only is CPU mining illogical, it's near impossible for a newbie. I tried to set it up just for a laugh, and I couldn't even figure out how to get it going without a GPU (which I don't have) and gave up after a short while. I'm sure I *could* get it going, but it definitely has been made very tough to do for a newbie - if you're savvy enough to get it working, you are DEF savvy enough to realize it's not profitable, which is a good thing, will save people time and money.

with a good CPU and litecoins AND free electricity it might be worth it.  Best to spring for a GPU though at any rate.

I'm a newbie and I'm cpumining LTC and FTC. It took me a couple hours to figure it out but it's working !
Ok I'm waiting for a GPU now but I learned many things trying to make it work.

...realize it's not profitable...

I earned 0.003 LTC and 0.04 FTC

Pretty much... I mean electricity is marginal where I live. CPU mining, as posted before, just isn't viable anymore.

Stopped two weeks ago.

CPU bitcoin mining is not viable long time ago...

Still, may be you can give a try to alternative scrypt-based cryptocoins if you have access to a good bunch of cores and you don't pay the power bill.

[stealthstr1ke]

So from this thread I gather that CPU mining is basically useless nowadays..

[d2.cc]

Could do an alt coin that has a lower diff...

Only with AMD APUs.

[JohnnyBrown]

I am guessing those people with AMD's APUs would still be - they get ~100mH/s because of the IGP. Or people who don't have a good GPU.
