You can try ITNS or ETN but it depends on what cpu do you have

Its completely nightmare to start with CPU mining bro. There are many people doing mining with asic and GPU rigs but in this time you are saying that. You wanna mine with the CPU means you have decided go in a wrong way.
There are some cheap and non worthy coins minable coins in the market. Even byte coin also possible with your CPU by using miner gate software but nothing worthy. More cost for power than you have bear for electricity.

It'll use more electricity if you are mining. You probably will lose money.

That having been said, try BitCoal, IntenseCoin, or Electroneum.

Cpu mining is worth it,  when you have dual xeons on 1 mb,  not less of that. 

[SubutaiKHAN]

CPU mining is pretty much only worth it if you have an exceptional CPU like others have said. ETN is probably the best bet, but even then... the returns are pretty low.

As with any hardware, you also need to be careful when it comes to temperature and stability. I Mine ETN on one of my rigs, but I have a water cooling heatsink on it. I probably wouldn't bother if I couldn't keep the chip cool.

I have yet to hear of someone having an extraordinary time with CPU mining in the past 5-years or so. CPU mining is normally only considered when someone has a large amount of CPUs and very low electricity costs with adept hardware knowledge. This is because the profits are so minimal, and therefore the margins are very tight so the set-up has to be just right. Profitability has taken a large dip for miners recently and I wouldn't think now is the best time to get involved with CPU mining.

[sundownz]

YescryptR16 on ZergPool is pretty good right now on any decent CPU -- compared to other options anyway... doing about $0.63/Day on a Ryzen 1700X using 6 out of 8 cores (at $0.16 power cost/Day for me).

I am working up to adding ~200 kH or so of CPUs to it as I get time to switch over existing systems / finish configuring some systems that aren't done yet.

Buying NEW hardware expressly for CPU mining isn't a good investment right now... but used hardware / if you already have the hardware you can still make some money.

At current prices, I am not a fan of CPU mining.  Not only is the profitability low to begin with, it can adversely affect your GPU mining performance. Every GPU miner uses some of the CPU to validate results, fetch new work and distribute that work to your cards. So if your CPU is at full utilization because it is mining on its own, the GPU miners are not going to run as efficiently, especially if you have several GPUs in your rig.  Second, if your rig is enclosed, you are dumping more heat from the CPU into the case and onto your video cards than if the CPU was idle. Since newer video cards throttle their clock speeds partly based on temperature, the increased heat may lower their hash rates. Finally, CPU miners tend to be a little buggy with newer algortihms, increasing the chance your rig will shut down when you're not around. For example, I tried mining HODL overnight and one of my rigs locked up because the CPU miner had a memory leak that caused it to consume over a gig of RAM in less than 8 hours. 

If you really want to put your CPU to good use, try using Boinc or Folding@Home to earn some Gridcoin or CureCoin while doing useful scientific and medical research.

If you are interested in what kind of performance you can expect mining this algorithm with a CPU, here is a reference for you. An Intel Core i7 6850K (6-cores at 3.6 GHz + HT) does around 635 H/s in the yescryptr32 algorithm without overclock of the processor. A processor like the commonly used Intel Celeron G1840 (Dual Core at 2.8 GHz) manages to get around 110 H/s in terms of hashrate when mining yescryptr32.

Cpu mining is worth it,  when you have dual xeons on 1 mb,  not less of that. 

I doubt your statement, I have server 2U XEON 12 cores 24 threads and 4 months ago I mine in ETN coin and get 32ETN/day and I have free electricity but I stop mining using that because of not worth for me. moreover now price ETN is down and diff increased. so, I think mining use CPU is not worth although you have free electricity.

[ktru19]

Im about to build a new pc budget around 2k. What kind of build should i go if i want it for gaming and trying to mine. My pc is always on anyway so electricy doesnt really bother me just looking to mine something thats cheapish and hope it would go up one day lol

[ktru19]

Also could anyone explain in simple terms whats asic how is it powered( as in is it hooked up with pc)

[HeraldoCrypto]

I mine yescryptr16 with CPU, but ASIC seems simple enough to set up if you can afford it.

I agree that even using a CPU with many cores, it is simply no longer profitable to mine most algorithms. A ThreadRipper 1950x (16 cores / 32 threads) used to make over $3 a day when CryptoNight was at its peak.  However, now it is difficult to make even a $1 a day mining most common algorithms and the CPU uses the same electricity per hour as a 1070 GPU.

You can't compare it) Even if you make it so that one CPU gives more profit than one video card, then the cost of additional equipment will be higher. You can connect multiple graphics cards to a single" processor", but not the other way around.

CPU without GPU isn't worth it you would have a bit hashrate whatever a coin its. better using GPU but you must patience if you start to mine "today", price a GPU is very expensive if compared with the income you will receive "today".

Buying NEW hardware expressly for CPU mining isn't a good investment right now... but used hardware / if you already have the hardware you can still make some money.

This is exactly my scenario. I am mining Credits with around 150K-200K Hash power. But Credits has taken a huge beating due to bearish market. I am planning to move to another coin.

ZergPool seems like an auto coin selector similar to NiceHash, is that correct? If you had to select one coin to mine, which one would you choose with 200kH?

You should check out the NEW altcoin with its own new algorithm! They released it earlier this month and its dedicated to bring back CPU mining and bring down ASICs.

Whatever coin you mine but CPU mining is not worth. I tried to mine with my laptop. I was mined Siacoin continues 2 days 24/7 guess how much I received just 0.02 siacoin. now 1 Siacoin price is $0.012. if you try CPU mining you will lose your system and no income. So better invest some money and try GPU mining.

Only looking to mine for fun and hope a bit of luck whatever i choose to atm its verge goes up electricy doesnt bother me as its included in the rent. Searching for newer coins that may have some potential.

you can do it (CPU without GPU) if you don't care about what will happen in cpu, a bit hash rate, the price of a coin, electricity and internet bill also profit you will get. many coins to mined with CPU

[EthanB]

Whatever coin you mine but CPU mining is not worth. I tried to mine with my laptop.

I've burnt out two laptops in my time trying to mine coins. Laptops are notorious for overheating and somehow not putting out the same power with comparable hardware. It is a strange phenemonon, but alas it is a reality we must live with. I would suggest that CPU mining isn't going to be worth it, but especially if you try to do so on a laptop. Laptops don't have the ventilation systems, and CPUs don't have the power. It adds up to a disastrous outcome, IMO. You could get cheaper GPUs for about the same price as a CPU the would be "worth" mining, but with tremendously more profit and quicker ROIs. Plus, you could normally run the CPUs alongside your cheap GPU for a bit of a cushion if you build a "regular" rig.

Marinecoin is CPU minable with windows or Mac OS PC, with just their wallet software.  The reward varies, probably up to 1000 coins per day.

Marinecoin use dynamic hashing algorithm to penalize the GPU/ASIC so that CPU mining is doable.   GPU/ASIC mining on Marinecoin would be money losing operations.

Better than CPU mining,  Marinecoin new airdrop program is AI driven,  20,000 coins per day per message per account.   It is probably better to join the airdrop

1. has a bit hashrate although have many CPU.

2. The payout time from Pool is very long time

3. Performance a processor very heavy.

if was calculate payment electricity and internet per month compared a profit. can be a less profit and not proportional to CPU performance.

- ASIC-Resistant like Vertcoin/Groestlcoin (CPU Mining Only)  

That's actually a really good looking project. It doesn't seem like it offers much in the category of technological innovation, but I really like the premises of being ASIC resistant, donating to efficient charities that sponsor orphans, no pre-mining and other parts of their road-map that seems very interesting. I'm not one to normally get involved with these altcoins, but I can certainly appreciate CPU only mining and supporting orphans. I'm going to do some more research for CPU only coins, but so far this seems pretty good from a mining perspective.

I've tried mining ZCoin using MiningPoolHub, well in my experience, I was not able to get a decent rate. Then I moved on to mining XMR and I feel it is better than mining ZCoin. It might be due to difficulty or even the current price of the coin. Try mining XMR using nanopool. Cheers.

When Bitcoin was first released, you could mine 100 coins a day using just your CPU. Unfortunately, today it’s impossible to mine Bitcoin with your CPU because cpu mining has been defeated with more reliable asic mining.
CPU design optimizes for quickly switching between different tasks. In addition to the CPU’s agility, it also has the advantage of ubiquity. If you have a computer, you have a CPU. Thus, if a coin allows CPU mining, there’s less power in the hands of large mining farms.
However, the hashing required for Proof of Work is a repetitive mathematical calculation. CPUs have fewer arithmetic logic units, circuits that perform arithmetic operations, and thus are relatively slow when it comes to performing large amounts of calculations.

Yes it can be profitable.  Its not a competition between CPU/GPU/Asic.  At this point some coin is developed to be mineable  only by CPU and not GPU, so despite the power diffreence you just don't have the option.  Look for yescrypt algo coin and m7m (magi) coin for good background mining, it add up.

YescryptR16 & Yescrypt both run on GPU now (KlausT miner)... but YESR16 still seems to reward pretty well.

I have ~70 or so Xeon X5660/X5670 CPUs mining. Just using an average figure for those...

MoneroV7 (~220 H/S) = ~21 cents / day
YESR16 (~550 H/S) = ~25 cents / day

So actually pretty similar when you know YESR16 uses a bit more power.
