Good coins to mine with big CPU rig?

[digitalcitizen]

Aside from Pascal Coin which can only be mined efficiently with CPU power, are there any good ones that CPU miners can mine?

Say, a machine with 72 to 128 CPUs.

Would like to try something interesting and actually get some shares and maybe a couple of coins.

Thanks,

Check this 2 sites that I found in google below.

I don't find any other source if what are CPU minable coins you able to mine.
And I think most of the CPU miner stay mining with XMR.

Yeah I'm pretty sure you'll want to stick with Monero, that has been the best cpu coin for a while.

Isn't that being completely savaged by ASIC's right now, with months until it can be corrected?!

Monero and Bytecoin are the most famous coins in Cpu mining arena and I already envy your setup of 128 Cpu-s.

If you start mining with them you would do a big favour to yourself, trust me on that, if you have cheap electricity.

Monero has been taken over by Asics but some other forms of Cryptonight like V8 heavy is still in good condition.

Having all those Cpu-s and keeping them idle is not a very productive thing to do.

I would avoid it then, I haven't followed Monero too close. Verium was decent to mine but you'll need 128mb per core used. Its a decent coin for SBC mining as well.

Your about 9 years too late if your trying to mine with a CPU.....

Even the GPU days are dying with Monero and Ethereum getting invaded with asics and the problem is only getting worse.

[Turocik]

but ETH fork to kill ASICs is in 2 days. Monero in 2-3 weeks. Don't remember the date

What do you mean Eth forks in 2 days to kill Asics? Is progpow coming that soon?

[Turocik]

the postponed Constantinopole update is scheduled for 28th feb if i am not mistaken

I'm pretty sure that doesn't change the algorithm at all and the difficulty bomb was postponed.

Note he didn't say he was going to mine with "a CPU"...

He said he was going to mine with 72 to 128 muthafukkin' CPUs!!


There's a slight difference there. I bet he'll be making a penny or two.

Try UPX.

[digitalcitizen]

Thanks all 

I wasn't following the ETH Constantinople thing very well.  Or other coins; I appreciate the links and suggestions.  I follow things as much as I can outside my work and I'm quite a fanatic so I was surprised I only had vague memories of CPU minable coins in one of those links.

Yeah, 72 CPU or 128 CPU rig to begin with, one or the other, I could do 256 CPUs later if it seems worth a try.  I can mine Pascal Coin since it's really only minable on CPUs, but gotta have several AMD server CPUs to justify mining there; it makes money but not quite enough to cover costs unless there's big gains in prices later.  I got into these big rigs since I finished the mining part of my own Pascal Coin miner, and assembling it for testing with the latest testnet.  Should be fun.

If you aren't profitable mining on one you won't be profitable mining on 128.

Yeah, but I use them for other things I need, and mine sometimes for the fun of it.  So they aren't mining rigs as such, but they do nice work and find a lot of shares even with difficult coins like Pascal Coin.

Oh I definitely believe you, no one buys 128 CPU to mine. (Is it 128 cores or physical CPU, I think it's coming off as physical CPU but 128 cores feels much more realistic.) The point was it a coin is ravaged by fpga and Asic the difficulty is high so I there is no point in CPU mining it, regardless of how many you have.

it really is not that big of a deal.... 128 cors really is not a game changer in the least!
with the XEON PHI or many other solutions , that amount of cores is a every day run of the muck machine!
example .  =Dell PowerEdge R820
4 cpu with up to 22 cores each that would give 176 cpu processing threads
up to 1.5 terabyte of DDR4 ram

and that is without adding a xeon phi or other .

as for mining coins ... its awesome to watch it slamm those thread lines in the miner but at the end of the day  you lose money

[Piskeante]

mining with CPU is NONSENSE. It's not profitable.

BTW, a 128 cpu computer can be a Supercomputer. I don't think you are willing to use public or private equipment to try to get money out of it right???

That's why I asked for clarification on whether it's cores or physical cpu. It could be some wild data lab he has with many multiple physical cpu servers.
