CPU mining 2017?

[pinoycash]

I tried CPU mining (XMR and BCN) for the past 6 hours on minergate. all i can say is, not worth the time and waste of electricity. Im using my Own Personal PC, AMD APU A8 7600 and im only getting 40 - 44 H/s using 50% load on my CPU. i dont know why my Built in GPU R7 is not recognized by minergate or my PC is not really design for CPU mining.

Well let's see what new coins maybe bringing for possibilities.. the current known ones are mineable but just do not bring any revenue with a cpu...

[carlo_0000]

depend what cpu

fx8300 oc is actually not bad 2 = bit faster than an r9380   if you keep the monero to sell next year or so  definitely profitable then

I've been mucking around with different coins in MPH to yield more bling and seem to default back to XZC for CPU. Although the recent jump in difficulty was not the most interesting things to see. Turned out a group of individuals found a way to manipulate with Amazon AWS service. Go figure!

So with current 5-5.5k difficulty and 2.3 MH/s, MPH is rewarding the user with 0.25 XZC/Day (which at the time of writing is 2.29 USD).

To compare the above with others while having the same CPU setup:
Grosetlcoin: 200-500 difficulty, 3.5 GRS/Day, 0.43 USD
Zclassic: ~40k dificulty, 0.18 ZCL/Day, 0.24 USD
Granite: so bad ... wrong algo
and so on...

Even without patiently waiting for larger statistics/data sets to analyse XZC is a good option. Zcoin is officially deemed as CPU-friendly anyway.

If you are now wondering is mining with CPU profitable - no.

Hey folk! I have been looking into buying a cheap mining rig

I found a cheap rx 470 and bought it right away. Planning to mine Ubiq with the GPU. To offset investment costs I went looking for a very cheap second hand decent pc. I found a few, with different cpu's and price ranges

The i7 930 (cheapest) (idle system power 112W*, peak system power 240W**, does have 2nd PCI-e slot on mobo so I can connect more vid cards if i can get my hands on some)
FX 6100 (more expensive, don't have details on mobo yet,idle system power 99W, peak system power 225W, 220MHS on monero)
FX 8150 (most expensive, dont have details on mobo yet, idle system power 100W, peak system power 252W, 330MHS on monero)

* +** idle and peak system power numbers are plucked from benchmarking sites to benchmark the CPU real load through socket meter

I pay 0.1799$ per/kwh

So is CPU mining combined with GPU mining unprofitable in these cases?
Should I not try mining with these CPU's and go for the cheapest option, the i7 930 or for the little more expensive, but lower idle power FX 6100.
Or should i try to mine monero for example on my 6100 or 8150, while using the GPU to mine UBIQ?

Orrrrr should i keep looking and find a cheap celeron with a tdp of 35W.

I have a Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3,40 GHz (x64) and 16 GB ram

You can try Winminer to see if it works for you

Hi,

ist there a coin profitable to mine with cpu?

Thanks

Dont why you guys even discussing this but CPU mining wont be profitable now onwards.
Not altcoin not bitcoin nothing can be mined with it having profits. You can profit or should i mention you can hope to profit only if you have completely free electricity and cold room. To be honest technically everything is advanced now and when you mine you have to compete the market who are mining at the rate of hundred times more than you.

Just being honest guys, have you ever thought of this practically, all thr hash rates and electricity bills, thr damage to your CPU etc . There are many more stuff involved which shall be taken in consideration

For cpu this is not the time for sure.

Verium is a CPU only minable coin.

I noticed this coin last week, never tried out yet. The price is good at USD2++, algorithm uses Scrypt^2. How's the ROI?

I'm currently using 2 free cores of my mining machine to mine BCN at minergate, I know it is not worth, but just mined to keep. I'm curious to know if any other good cpu coin in 2017?

[Bakes007]

Also Mining BCN on Miners gate with a Spare Core you never know how the coin might increase in the Future

Hi,

You can do Merged Mining Dogecoin and Litceoin.

cpu mining is profitable same as gpu

as i mentioned before the fx8300 (around 110euro)  does 350-400hs  on monero   if you have 2 of them you been faster than an rx470 but with a bit more power
and at current gpu prices it s cheaper for same performance

an if you keep your monero and sell when price get up (like now) it s definitely profitable

i had athlon 160u on my rings, i change them all for fx8300  it s like i have a hole ring more now

Yes, this is what in my mind. Since BCN dev has returned and development looks quite active, and yet this is the first coin that use cryptonight, may put some hope on it.

It is then always profitable to mine small altcoins and sell them once they get high. CPU mining is only profitable for mining monero and that too is hard these days i guess. You can mine any other coins whicj has the lowest difficulty and have profit by selling it once it is high. It usually requires a lot of time.

monero to hard lol ?  if it s to hard for cpu it s also to hard for gpu (fx8300 = rx560)

i change all my athlon 160u  for  fx8300  (8 of them) it s bit faster than having 4 x 470's , just doing fine it was a smart thing to do
get money back faster that i though , i sell my monero when price get up

What about using the new Ryzen processors?

What about using the new Ryzen processors?

They do very well at CPU mining, easily the best CPU miners aside from server grade Xeons etc. With a Ryzen 1700/1700X/1800X you can expect to get 600+ Mh/s with Monero and it does well in many other coins too.

586 with the 1800x

Just started testing it.

Going to  run a waterblock rig

For CPU
For gpus.

600+ Mh/s! The Monero world mining hash rate is 233 MH/s.
