Mining ZEC with CPU?

[Katadin]

well to mine with a laptop is anyways not the best of all ideas ...

Do not mine the ZEC with CPU. It is better to mine the XMR.

[Katadin]

why would you even try?

For people with spare CPU usage.

CPU mining for ZEC dies months ago when the GPU miners started getting efficient.

 Better off mining a CPU-centric coin instead.

You can not use ZEC with the processor

Some of the early ZEC miner software supported CPU mining - but the GPU miners quickly outpaced CPU mining to the point it became UNPROFITABLE to bother trying to mine ZEC on a CPU.

 I also suggest that if you want to do CPU mining, go Monero aka XMR (or use the NiceHash miner).

yeah nicehash miner will point you at hodl or xmr

maybe 25 cents a day extra.

Be carrefull !
NiceHash miner is only Windows compatible.
If you use Ubuntu (you don't write anything about your operating system), NiceHah don't work.
