Best CPU Mineable Coins in 2019 and CPU Mining Guides [UPDATED!]

[ekoja]

Guys, which coins are you mining with your cpu rigs?
I am mining the Monero. But recently the hash rate of monero is decreasing to half of the peak. What is the reason?

Guys check out, screen is for Ryzen 1800X

It's probably wrong. In dero's official pool and other pools estimate 1.61 dero for per 1KH/s

Monero made changes to their mining algorithm to make it ASIC resistant again - it's CryptoNight v7 afaik. So the decrease in hashrate everybody experienced is because of that, and I don't know if they are planning to tweak it to get more hashpower again.

As I read algorithm change prevent web based miners too. And already prevent existing asics on asics manufacturer's hand

Oh that is good to hear. Monero is the most popular coin to mine using botnets, and I have read recently there is even malware on android smartphones mining XMR. After that algo update Monero Network Hashrate went down from over 1GH/s to less than 500MH/s.

Pre-orders of new 2nd gen Ryzen 7 CPU's are saying "20MB Smart Prefetch Cache".

It should be a beast in Cryptonight / Cryptonight lite.

I saw that too, but why do they advertise and sell on pre-orders 20 Mb cache, and 16 Mb for 1700?

Could they have unified 4Mb L2 + 16 Mb L3 cache?

Yeah sure, and only 100 H/s more and twice more power consumption than my 8 threads 299€ Ryzen 7 1700...

Threads and cache aren't everything. I have a Xeon E5645 - 6 core / 12 threads / 12 Mb L3 cache, and it just sucks at cryptonight, 200 H/s...

Only idiots mine cryptonight on cpu. -50%

PS   And 5645 - 400 H/s  criptonight, all intel -  60 h/s on thread w/o overclock and 80 with ovclock

Ryzen have only 1+  - 65W

[lncm]

Yes, sure, 520 H/s on 65w sounds a terrible deal, but, hey, that's how idiots work.

Anyway, I do mine Cryptonight Lite with Ryzen, you get almost 4x the hashrate with same power consumption.

But do tell me how to get 400 H/s on a Xeon e5645 stock, that's the first time I hear it.

200 is more like it....

Yes and mining monero is more profitable now. Botnets must be stopped too everytime.

[Turkish88]

Botnets dropeed, but monero open for new botnets now, i think network rate will recover soon.
While gpu miners coming to monero, all youtube in videos about mining monero at this moment

I am so glad to hear that news. The Monero dev team did a very well job. The update of algo will kick botnets out. So good and fair for our cpu miners. Nice!

[serhanni]

Anyone tried to mine waltonchain with cpu? There is a cpu miner inside the wallet. I couldn't tried yet properly because after mobo bios upgrade everything turned out false with my small rig.

Even with the change of algorithm, I still doubt that botnet miners will stop find a way to make it again possible. This is a great development though which I think will last for long. Let's just hope that XMR devs be consistent on what they are doing to prevent this kind of inequality mining. I wonder how many coins they manage to mine before this change of algo happened.

Probably too much, network hashrate dropped 50% and it seems other 50% were coming from botnets and asics. By the way baikal is giving extra 4 bricks for free to each brick order.

if look on minergate - they split old XMR with new one... to old give name Monero Original (XMO) and look like on
old v6 is: World 889.5MH/s (Difficulty:106,720,862,647) and grow
on v7 is: World 442.1MH/s (Difficulty:53,047,357,595) not much but too grow

So what is the general consensus on the currently best CPU mineable coin? I know this is subject to change in the near future. Some are saying Monero. I'm still kicking myself for dumping close to 10k of them @ 50 cents each.
