CPU mining 2017?

[automobile]

It seems like XMR mining is better with GPU... Maybe I'm mistaken, but one Radeon HD7990 gives over 1000 h/s (this opinion is based on this post). For example 3 x HD7990 could easily beat 2 x E5-2699. And 3 x HD7990 are MUCH cheaper than 2 x E5-2699...
So, it seems like XMR is definitely a GPU coin...

xmr not better?

my cpu in xmr 550 h/s

in ric 15000 khs

Idk, need to check xmr, thanks.

ric is better


ric no exchanger for sell?

poloniex and btc38 deposit not available

CryptoDAO  no buy order!

An AMD Ryzen 1700X @ 4.0 ghz with 2150 H/s can make over $5 a day mining AEON at current prices.  https://aeon-pool.com/#  --- My i7 6700K does ~615 H/s at stock settings = about $1.50 per day on Aeon.

xmr is better

2150 h/s =6.8 usd

Except XMR only gets ~630 hashrate... AEON is a different algo that mines allot faster and is more profitable because of it.

if you wanna do mining with cpu and gpu

it s actually very simple, i don't know why people never think about this
it s actuality oblivious for me

just put your cpu miner in task manager to idle (or at lease lower than normal)  and it can use all your cores
and it won't slow down your gpu's

If you look at the BTC exchange rate then value of XMR>BCN>AEON and in terms of number of coins BCN>AEON>XMR at same h/s

Hi,

ist there a coin profitable to mine with cpu?

Thanks

i can give you soem coins which are profitable with cpu, but you need many cpu ro cpu rig to mien them with good return, these coins are magi verium, zoin and monero, all the other are not cpu friendly, but be aware of botnet that are plague for this coins and quickly ruin your profit

Just a noob question, how can botnets ruin cpu mining profits?

Is it possible to run CPU mining on a VMWare with Windows Server 2012. I have 4 x i7 cores with 8 GB ram and 80GB disk space running on top of a VM. Was researching earlier about Digibyte but haven't gotten it to work yet. Any other coin recommendations that are CPU friendly and are profitable to mine? Should I go for XMR or are there better alt coins that are ok to run on a CPU? Thanks!

[YaYMiner]

I did some looking around and there is a couple more coins that are CPU only. I've been mining them for the past two days and have made the most off off them that any other CPU coin i have tried. Before Zcoin was the most profitable and i was lucky to get in before GPU miners took it over. Granted these two coins are not like Zcoin, they do use Zerocoin technology.

Zoin Coin - Uses its own version of the Lyra2z algo called Lyra2zoin (Lyra2z330). Only thing about this coin is that it isn't very popular, but that could be a good thing for us CPU miners.

Hexx Coin - Uses the same algo as Zoin and has recently had a community take over to try to bring it back to life. The difficulty is real low with this coin right now so you can make decent profits with it.

Both are listed on Cryptopia.

Using Nicehash will tell you whats your best algo option. Their software checks profitability of your hardware and lets you mint the most profitable coin. Other then that, the rest is pure speculation.

there is also myriad on yescript but did not do the math if profitable or not

I was able to run XMR for a week in a VM producing 80-200 H/s (Win Server 2012 64bit, 16Gb memory & 8 CPU threads reaching 100%). It was running 24x7 but it will still take me around 2 months to reach .03 XMR. I decided to stop it. Will research and try Zoin Coin next week.

8 thread  is not always the best for 8 cores


i tested on fx8300  the best results where 7 thread  355h/s average   6 or 8 are slower

it s actually not bad   2 cpu = some better than r9 380  (price, speed and W are close)   or some worse than an rx470

as there are no gpu on market available  i bought  4x  8300's   (was running athlon 160u on my rings)
if monero price not get up need at lease 7 month to pay back

Hello . This thread got my attention as i think i can get 4 CPUS Xeon E7-4870 for roughly $1300. Though i don't know if i can find a mobo to put those beasts on . Do you guys think it is proffitable to mine something with such a setup ? 40 cores / 80 threads at 2,4 GHz / 2,8GHz with turbo boost . power consumption would be around 700 W i think .

[carlo_0000]

find the speed of you cpu and do the math

but i think it s not really profitable, unless you have free electricity
probably need 10-12 month to pay back your setup


i i change the cpu of my rings,  but you need to buy hole computer

If you have a CPU only and a stable internet that you can leave for 24x7, I would recommend that you just do Proof of Stake (PoS). PoS doesn't overburden your CPU and internet connection as well. Research on Stratis, Radium and DeepOnion for PoS. Only downside is you need to purchase the coins that you need to stake.

I've tried CPU mining Monero thru a 10Mb internet line, using even the cheapest and fastest pool and it still won't profitable. It will take 3 months before I will be able to transfer .03 XMR to my wallet It also overworks the computer and consumes the bandwidth.

good point Pos are more profitable if you have a good stable internet instead of buying expensive equipment better to use the money to buy alts which have a big possibilities to increase its value in such time, like mate said stratis can be consider and i think eth will also will turn into Pos though still a
rumors and no finals statement yet.

For CPU  only  try XMR or KRB coins , but the best option will be  Winminer , it will select automatically algo option for your hardware and select the most profitable coin.

Verium is a CPU only minable coin.

This is a very goos and simple advice :-).

The problem is that the majority of miners RIG are build over the cheapests Celerons and those Celerons with a low priority in the task manager are mining quasi nothing with XMR (and a lot of others coins : too slow).
If you want CPUmine with your RIG, don't buy a so cheap Celeron (choose a Core i3 ot higher).

[dominguero]

The CPU mining are very dependent of the L3 cache.

Monero for example need 2mb for thread.. and Celerons, I3... usually have very small L3 cache.
