True. I said no because there is some coins that can't be acquired with hardware. GPU and CPU are able to mine most of the coins, but is that profitable or not is a different question.

There is no ASIC hardware that can mine all of the coins.

Technically, you can mine any coin with most CPUs.

 In practice, most coins are not worth trying to mine with a CPU 'cause it just loses money, too low of hashrate on too much power consumption, so IN PRACTICE the answer is no.


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!
