CPU mining 2017?

[furfurol]

As I understand it, CPU mining is profitable if you mining those coins that will grow in the future

750H on 7800x 4.5. Interesting to see xeons hashrate.

Credits (CRDS) is a masternode coin which uses the Argon2d algorithm (GPU-resistant). It is CPU-only mineable, and right now there is only solo mining.

I'm glad to hear that. You can try this one: http://cryptomining-blog.com/8196-new-faster-hodlminer-and-a-new-mining-pool-for-it-now-available/
Good luck!

Not necessarily, you can make profits immediately on some.

But of course "speculative mining" is way more interesting

Hi

What coin is best for cpu & memory mining? Monero? I can mining with several computer at time? I have free electricity

Windows or Linux?

Thanks a lot

I think now CPU mining is a pointless thing. Mining requires powerful video cards or a specialized device.

Thanks a lot

I would say Linux is better for me. Tried to mine a lot of coins, with my setup optimal are aeon and VRM.

I tried to mine on an office computer and it turned out to be nothing. Mining requires large processing power of a pool of powerful video cards or specialized devices.

Hello, dear Unitus and CPU miners! Did you know that Unitus will be celebrating its birthday soon? Our 1st block was mined on December 28th, 2014! We will be hosting a CPU mining competition soon in correlation with that! The duration of the contest will be 2 weeks. Starting on December 14th and ending on December 28th, 2017.

Why are we going to do that? We think that there is not enough information available about the hashrate of our CPU algorithms on different processors. Unitus is a rare coin that has 2 CPU mining algorithms: Argon2d and Yescrypt. The situation with Yescrypt is better. We have much more information available. However, it is still not enough:

https://www.zpool.ca/bench/algo?algo=yescrypt
http://yiimp.eu/bench/algo?algo=yescrypt

Unfortunately, they are still poor spreadsheets. For example, Monero has:

http://monerobenchmarks.info/index.php

We, the Unitus community, need to have more useful and aesthetic spreadsheets for every CPU.


Ask this question anywhere, “What can I mine with my CPU?” and the answer will most likely be, “Coins on the CryptoNight algo.” However, the answer should be “Unitus! It has 2 different CPU algorithms, choose whichever one you like. Your GPU can mine, also. It is the most versatile and multifaceted coin available to be mined!” Therefore, we want more information available to the public so people answer with that instead. Information about CPU hashrates can help many people to start mining Unitus which can help increase its popularity creating a synergistic effect, therefore, increasing the activity inside the community helping Unitus rise! You can help us in this matter! All you need to do is participate in the competition and spread information about it!

The rules are simple: people fill lines about their CPUs and win UIS! We are interested in information about all CPU models. New and old, fast and slow, x64 and x86, CISC and RISC, whatever. There are 2 types of prizes.

Immediate prize for one person (independent for every CPU model info and every algorithm):

Base n*1UIS One or more fully filled line, separated by a space, formed according to the example.

+n*2UIS The 1st information about a CPU in the competition
+n*1UIS / +n*2UIS 3+ / 5+ lines for one CPU
+n*1UIS OC or DC hardware
+n*3UIS Unusually things (ARM, 32-bit CPU, etc)

Achievements at the end of the competition on December 28th:

n*10 You have the fastest CPU in the stock frequency!
n*10 You have the fastest CPU in OC!
n*30 Your CPU is the weakest, but don’t worry!
n*10 Your CPU is the newest! n*30 Your CPU is the oldest, and it still works!
n*20 You fill the maximum lines about one CPU!
n*40 You’re the tester of highest amount of CPUs!

1st people get prize:

n*40 You mined on an ARM device (except Raspberry Pi and smartphone)!
n*50 You mined on a Raspberry Pi!
n*60 You mined on a smartphone! Wow!

If you never mined UIS before, but are interesting in CPU mining, you can easily try to mine Unitus right now! Miner for Windows:  https://unitus.online/files/unitus-cpuminer.7z Miner for Linux:  https://github.com/unitusdev/unitus-cpuminer

Total amount of UIS up for grabs will be either:

15,000
22,500

There is currently 6,500UIS set aside for it and will definitely at least hit 7,500.

Unitus CPU mining competition that started 2 days ago. Lasts until the 28th. UIS is up for grabs! Posts results here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1121974.msg26351214#msg26351214

Good luck and happy mining!

i tri mine wit my gamur pc gpu. mine bitcoin. no work. dis meen gpu mining no work

As I understand it, CPU mining is profitable if you mining those coins that will grow in the future

Huh, who would have thunk it?

I shouldn't be a prick lol, tell me what cpu coins you feel good or lucky about pleez

[sasa0220]

I'm mining Electroneum. It has a easy set up software. My CPU is a i5 processor. the return is very low. But i don't know how to set up the other mining software. this one is pretty straight forward and easy. So i stuck with it.

I'm mining electroneum with my core i7 cpu @ 4Ghz and I got about 300h/s
I'm using xmr-stack miner, I think your result should about 200-250 h/s
so if you getting really lower then that - well, that means that you have to proper setup  the miner

[barhotka]

In my opinion, mining is gradually disappearing into the past. For mining, you need to spend too much electricity and time. It is necessary to pass from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake.

[tulpash]

Mine with the help of the CPU in the present time is possible, but not at all profitable. The CPU is designed to perform very complex and different commands. Video cards are designed specifically to perform a very large number of simple operations, so they are well suited for mining. For mining, you need graphics cards.

You can still mine ROI Coin using your CPU only. Check it out here: https://roi-coin.com

[drunkenone]

CPU mining is only really worth it if you have free electricity, and don't expect to actually make any real money.

[Elder III]

So many wrong posters here saying that CPU mining is not profitable. If you have a good CPU and do your research you can make $2+ per day after power costs; even $1 a day after power costs is worth it for a part that you need to have anyways. I would not build an entire PC for CPU mining only, but if you need a PC for other tasks, or are building a mining rig it's worth considering buying a good CPU in order to mine with it. The AMD Ryzen series are wonderful CPU miners and can pay for themselves as quickly as some GPUs you may buy to mine with.

Many miners don't want competition and are afraid of rising difficulty of mining so they always answer no if anybody asks if mining is profitable. I think you still can earn money if more people start mining your coins because the price will rise with increased popularity. You get less coins but each coin is worth more.
