What is the best CPU to mine with

[Vycid]

Xeon Phi. Hands down no contest. The 7210 gets 2800 H/s CryptoNight at around 250W at the wall. I am planning on leading a group buy in the near future for about $1250 per, with these particulars:

- You own the CPU and the board, and I am legally bound to ship on demand. You will be issued an ETH20 token as proof of ownership, so ownership may be easily transferred.

- I will provide internet, power, cooling, electricity, and administration for the first 12 months for free. You just give me an address.

- After 12 months there will be a service fee, but a smart contract will limit my profit.

I'm pretty damn sure you won't find a better CPU, or a better deal, for that matter, unless you make your own GPU farm.

Sorry for the digression, but it seemed relevant.

Depends on the algorithm,

BiblePay, CPU Only coin, seems to reward better for lower end machines

I like the Ryzen 7 1700,
can get over 1,000 BiblePay coins a day, which is worth more than $3/day

Did you find it worth it? How is your electricity? Also the volume of the coin looks too low. I don't like C-cex though. But yes, I am looking for potential coins to mine since most top coins are still not worth it.

I would go with Threadripper, being an AMD CPU fanboy myself. They seem to draw less electricity than the Intel counterparts, if that is one of your issues. Getting a nice water cooling system to clock the shit out of them is quite nice aswell.

If we talk about cryptonight algo with 2mb cache per thread requirement I went for Ryzen 5 1600 (full 16mb L3 cache) - 550-600 h/s
Now I wait for new threadripper zen+ but I won't buy 16 cores. 12 cores with full 16+16 mb L3 cache (1920 tr now) seems more reasonable

People in this application they choose for GPU and CPU XMR now. What's cool in the latest version of the application? the withdrawal of the coins mined directly from the application, no need to sign in to the web site at all

OK cool thanks for all the great info guys yea I think I may go with the threadripper but not the 1050x as I don't really see the extra $$ shelled out for it really worth it in perfomance

a single processor gets 2800 mhs? are those the intel
cards you can plug in via pci?

no, it's the bootable version of those cards, host processor
