Any profitable CPU mining coin nowadays, December 2017?

Check out Magi, interesting price evolution in the last couple of days.

There is solo mining only and the hashrate is still low.

You will spend more money on electricity than earn if you use the central processing unit. This is futile. A lot of power is needed for mining.

I suppose it's hard to CPU mine profitable if you're really dumb. You guys best stick to mining Ethereum or whatever if you need a step-by-step Youtube-guide to hold your hand...

Coins to check out:

*Magi (XMG)
*Verium (VRM)
*Credits (CRDS)
*Monero (XMR)
*Gridcoin (GRC)

It's good to cpu mine on daily use computers or if you have a strong enough CPU. If you're running a Q4400 Intel chip you're going to mine like 30mh/s and its going to be a big waste of time.

With nice CPU it`s same - waste of time. Better to buy GPU rig or ASIC

it may make sense to mine some alt using cryptonight and store it as an investment

I have a low-end laptop right now. I have an Acer Aspire ES1-431 Laptop with 2GB memory Windows 10. I am not really tech savvy but I think its worth the shot.

Even if you put your all to this, what you'll get at most is a Pyrrhic victory. Getting almost nothing with great effort. So wouldn't advice it.

anyway i found out that fx8300 is very good in monero

it s roi a lot faster than the ryzen

had 8 ring i add an fx8300 oc  and it s just the same as 8x rx460 but with 8% more electricity

Central processors are not too good for mining. For this purpose, powerful video cards or special devices are more suitable. Mine on the CPU is not advisable.

I switched my ryzen 1700 over to verge.  Scrypt algo on mph.  Not sure yet if it would be better to use lyra2v2 on another pool.

[bigvito19]

Im going with the big NO on this one

[Riptide_NVN]

According to the calcs zcoin, electroneum, and monero are all able to turn a profit with a ryzen CPU.  Not big money obviously - $25-40/month.

Stock clocked ryzen 1700 gets about 650 kh/s lyra2z.  500 h/s crytponight.  Power draw is under 100w.  Do the maths.

would it be a rooky mistake to ask you to run nicehash or its benchmark to see what you could mine best with your CPU?
...if you're not under linux of course...

The only CPU benchmark for Nicehash is Cryptonight algorithm.

Yes lyra2z and cryptonight are profitable algorithms for Ryzen CPUs. AEON (Cryptonight-Lite algorithm) is also a good choice.  You could try Magi, Verium, or Biblepay as well.

I give you another suggestion, not to mine some coins, you can buy some coin with staking. Like DeepOnion, you can use your old computer to stake these coins, I think it's better than mining. At least, I am doing these things.

Full of speculation when we wanna mine using CPU nowadays, its just like gamble I think. Try to mine coin that can be mined by cpu, low marketcap, brand new coin if we lucky enough than we have in proffit.
Last month ago I mined zoin when it was 0,02$ per coin & the diff is low. Couple month I mined it until I have 1,6k zoin, & now the price $ 1,3 this is worth & make enough  proffit for me.
So try more speculative on mined with cpu or low rig spec.  right now I mining intense coin, I thinks it has a good future

[usao]

Soo, what software do you use to cpu mine?

[togoshigekata]

BiblePay is CPU Mining Only coin, 10% of mined coins go to charity to sponsor orphans

Been trying to get XMR-STAK to work for me but I keep getting socket errors.  Electroneum on MPH.

I have the right pool and port in the config.  When I launch the client it gives me this error:

I mined the same way and was hoping it will become something. I have also around 1.8k zoin from mining even though I have been mining for awhile but I am using my old laptop for it. I don't care if it breaks my laptop but already have earned enough to buy a new one from Zoin.
