CPU mining 2017?

[luk1999]

hi all...
ive been messing around with cpu mining on a couple pieces of junk for about a year now...
for now, ive been just looking for things that are brand new, so my junk has a chance in the first week or so...
I have a chance to pick up a couple of old servers for about 250$ total...

1. Dell Poweredge 2950 (2U Server)
 Dual (2x4) Quad core Intel E5410 Xeon processors (8 cores total)
 8GB DDR2 Ram (Max 64GB Ram)
 Dual 150GB SATA hard drives (system supports SAS or SATA drives)
and
2. Dell Poweredge R610 (1U Server)
Dual (2x4) Quad core Intel E5504 Xeon processors (8 cores total)
 8GB DDR3 Ram (Max 192GB)
 Dual 160GB SAS hard drives (system supports 2.5" SAS and 2.5" SATA drives)
 Dual Redundant Power supplies

ive done some fairly extensive research and cant find shit for answers...

my question, what kind of hash rate could I expect out of these two for say, monero, aeon or other cpu coin?
would it be worth it at the end of the day?
thanks

These CPUs would be probably slower than my Xeon X3440 @ 3,2 GHz.
I don't remember hashrate for Monero on my PC, but I did a calculations few months ago and it wasn't able to mine 1 Monero in a year... So you can try only if you have electricity for free.
You can try cpuminer-opt 3.7.x and try to mine some new coins, which use CPU-favour algos.

thanx for the info...
they are still for sale, (probably wont sell) I think I will wait a while and try to get them super cheap and use them like u said

if cpu is not aes i think just forget it, the hashrate is really low on older cpu's
if it had some bigger hard driver you could burst mining

also what king of power supply it has  because maybe better of to add some gpu's

IN DEVELOPMENT: Partnering with Rosetta@home to cure cancer with mining cycles

[lncm]

Verium is CPU-only.

Is it still profitable?

[Pekine]

CPU mining is not profitable. You might run into some real new coins, but you will not earn a lot.

It is just something to play with. And you never know if they will be worth something someday.

[rohitm]

I have 2x Xeon E5645, not making much from mining, but indeed heating is not an issue in that room

May I ask please, which coins were you mining?

Using it for storj as I have some extra storage to spare and CPU for aeon at the moment.

Have you received anything from Storj? I ran their software for half month but didnt receive anything at all.

I have a Coffeelake I7 8700k @5.0 GHz and I'm mining Zcoin (Lyra2z) @ 1250 khs.That is more than my 1060 6G. When at stock clocks with turbo, my cpu does about 985 khs. This is good for around $1.60 a day.

[iTzShowTime]

just stick to gpu mining you guys!

[rem26]

just stick to gpu mining you guys!

Do you even know what you are talking about?  i3, i5, sure, GPU dominates.

There are CPUs (Power8/9 for example) that crush 6-10 GPUS's on both hash rate and total power.

[elhectorcast]

Now I try to mine these, KOTO, YTN, Zoin. Have predecessors have better suggestions?

have you already obtain 1 coin for thats crytocurrencies?

[JaredWallace]

magi is another CPU mining only coin if you guys want to check it out.

[AngryWhiteWolf]

Pretty hard to mine Magi in the last couple of weeks. Big hashers are making mining it unprofitable.

[valen1309]

Okay, the only profitable thing is the new coins. with cpu

And how much do you pay for electricity ?
It is not worth it. Forget it if your electricity is nnot free.

There is no such thing as free electricity. Actually nothing is free in this world, I know it sound cynical. Somebody is paying for it....

You could be lucky and grab a jackpot if you mine with your cpu fresh cryptonight coin, and this coin will go to the exchange and have good price, like ipbc, for example. But such cases are rare

[Coindgr]

It's nice to mine a Cryptonight coin in the firsts hours, specially if you only have a low processing power.
These days I can't find a decent announcement of a coin with a countdown timer. Anyone knows a site/ link with updated info on coins about to be launched?
