CPU mining 2017?

[mrtrevorphilly]

I mine Monero.
With this CPU I get ~504.4 H/s running xmr-stak-cpu with 12 threads(12 seems to give me the highest hashrate + hugepages enabled):

Code:

# lscpu
CPU(s):                20
On-line CPU(s) list:   0-19
Thread(s) per core:    2
Core(s) per socket:    10
Socket(s):             1
Model name:            Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v4 @ 2.20GHz
Stepping:              1
CPU MHz:               2400.062
CPU max MHz:           3100.0000
CPU min MHz:           1200.0000
BogoMIPS:              4400.05
Virtualization:        VT-x
L1d cache:             32K
L1i cache:             32K
L2 cache:              256K
L3 cache:              25600K

That one gives ~367.5 H/s with 13 threads with xmr-stak-cpu:

Code:

# lscpu
CPU(s):                16
On-line CPU(s) list:   0-15
Thread(s) per core:    2
Core(s) per socket:    4

NUMA node0 CPU(s):     0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14
NUMA node1 CPU(s):     1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15

Dell Precision 5510 with 4 threads working gives ~230 H/s if you don't do any work on that laptop otherwise
the hashrate drops quite significantly(temperature is about 70 degrees):

Code:

#lscpu
CPU(s):                8
On-line CPU(s) list:   0-7
Thread(s) per core:    2
Core(s) per socket:    4
Socket(s):             1
NUMA node(s):          1
Model name:            Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz
Stepping:              3
CPU MHz:               929.647
CPU max MHz:           3600.0000
CPU min MHz:           800.0000
BogoMIPS:              5423.89
Virtualization:        VT-x
L1d cache:             32K
L1i cache:             32K
L2 cache:              256K
L3 cache:              8192K

That one is without AES, super low hashrate about 72 H/s(5 threads):

Code:

# lscpu
CPU(s):                8
On-line CPU(s) list:   0-7
Thread(s) per core:    2
Core(s) per socket:    4
Socket(s):             1
NUMA node(s):          1
Model name:            Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           W3530  @ 2.80GHz
Stepping:              5
CPU MHz:               2799.962
BogoMIPS:              5599.92
Virtualization:        VT-x
L1d cache:             32K
L1i cache:             32K
L2 cache:              256K
L3 cache:              8192K

Same hashrate for SUMOcoin and I think it gave me double of these values when I mined Aeon.
These are pretty expensive machines, though with AES... I just happen to have them.
Other than that I have a rig of 6 mixed cards.

Yeah I do VRM, but I havent checked new coins in a while.  It was mining 40cents a day off a g3258 pentium, so not too shabby but still pretty low.  CPU coins always get a bad rap due to botnets.

[saga-crypto]

I am mining biblepay with my cpu. Also Intense coin (ITNS) is new and can be mined with CPU. Actually both the coins are new and not many miners mine those.

biblepay is doing good. Although Intense coin is a new coin but it uses cryptonight algorithm and it is able to mine by GPU too, whereas biblepay is cpu only coin with new algorithm.

With a laptop it's not worth mining, and probably never was either. The heat is just too much for a laptop to handle and the punishment the battery could take does more damage that you'd ever make. PC CPUs can earn you some pennies though. My FX-8350 can mine around 0.6$ worth of CryptoNight coins a day with Nicehash's miner.

[Averyone]

Eight-core Intel 2.3 GHz is 200 H / s. as it is not enough)

I habe a i7-6600 and make only 200hs in monero CPU Stack

[ziiip]

Riecoin is pretty good if you have just have an average CPU.

If you have Xeon e5 v3-v4 with a large cache then XMR will be more profitable that RIC.

[Jdope]

There's zoin coin, i think you can mine it with a cpu but i have no idea how much you'll get, if you have a xeon cpu just download the miner and fire it up, shouldn't be expensive to try.

[murzame]

Does someone has more info about sumocoin?

[mrtrevorphilly]

Does someone has more info about sumocoin?

Yes, you can mine SUMO on CPU as well. Look at my post above what hashrate I get with those CPUs.
It's the same algo(CryptoNight) as Monero.

[vinodelsol]

Hi guys, i have Athlon II 220 in my rig, what coins can i mine on this CPU?

[mrtrevorphilly]

Hi guys, i have Athlon II 220 in my rig, what coins can i mine on this CPU?

All CryptoNight based coins. Aeon, Sumo, Monero, Iridium, Charnacoin.
And then also ZEC/zcash.

[kollom]

not known to all coins are profitable.

[saga-crypto]

FX-6300:
1) OC to 4.2GHz (when max. boost in stock was is 4.1GHz)
2) large pages
3) no_prefetch - true
~300h/s (stable 295-297, sometimes going crazy 320 ) on cryptonight.xmr via NiceHashMiner Legacy v1.8.1.1
just search conf file in nicehashminer folder and edit it

P.S. sry for my bad english

Not bad to get 300h/s for your old amd cpu. I have tried to get dual xeon x5650 to mine cryptonight, but I got max 200h/s only, this cpu is not cryptonight friendly.

[SwaveyMane]

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.

im using that same pc you have an hp pavillion with the spectre r7 graphics 2809mb of gpu cores. on board.


i mine bitsend. straight to cryptopia

cpuminer-sse42.exe -o stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:3739 -a xevan -u iEqZ9gs5GXFSN5EpMJzJZ8ExwqfbF2R86z -p x -t 4
pause


and i mine. gpu dnr on hashbag and i get 1.5 mh on that coin i mine it ot cryptopia aswell. every other day i have about 15k sat

I sometimes chuck my cpu on nicehash, its a i7 4790k OC to 4.7 with a AIO cooler and get like 220h/s then with my 780ti which is 420h/s ish :/ but yes its on cryptonight but im not sure of the ins and outs, I just boot it up and let it do its thing for me

Try Nicehash or Winminer

Can you guys share if what script are good to mine using CPU and intel GPU i have intel express gpu in my laptop and i would like to use while im browsing here because i am online 14 hours a day while doing other activity online..
Hope someone can gives me because some of my friends also wanted to mine with their pc and i would like to teach him for cpu mining..

i have already a small mining rig and use nicehash but only support amd and Nvidia..

[patofet]

I think that the cpu are very expensive in front of the h/s that they have

[sundownz]

I am buying Xeon X5660 CPUs for my refurb HP Z400 machines (I use these as a base for my miners)... they have a pretty nice hash-rate for about 20 bucks per CPU on E-Bay.

Currently I am doing Intense Coin on most of my CPUs -- from which I don't know what return I am getting yet -- but also m7m (MAGI) seems promising... should be able to pay off the X5660 CPUs in 30-60 days based on the ZPOOL profit predictions for m7m so I have pushed a few of my CPUs over to it.
