CPU Mining altcoins

[impresiones]

I wanted to ask you if nowadays it does exist a profitable altcoin for cpu mining that you could recommend me.

Thanks for your answer

If you did a simple google search you would see that the most widely mined altcoin with a CPU is Monero.

Here is a list of the hash rates of most CPU-s used nowadays,you will see that unless you own a few CPU-s to mine with it is not very profitable to mine with a single or dual CPU.

Nah isnt profitable mine on cpu, and hard to scalable, because most of cpu mining crowded by trojan mining infected ton of pc arround the world, us profitable if the coin itself just start to mine or fair launch and you got early mining

[JayDDee]

Scalability is the biggest issue IMO. You can't build a mining rig with a dozen CPUs like you can with GPUs.
Every CPU need it's own motherboard, RAM, PSU, etc. and big CPUs like Threadripper cost more than the biggest
GPUs, even at the peak of scalping. That keeps professional miners out of the picture. There are also no big CPU
coins except Monero so that keeps interest low. Add it all up and profitability is low.

I'm not convinced bots are a big issue, most AV now flag most miners, assuming they're all malware.

[CrossroadBTC]

The only CPU coin that's still standing strong is Monero and no it's not profitable unlike years back when this coin was still running on cryptonight algorithm, those were CPU mining good days, don't even bother with new CPU coins they are all shitcoins

[Nighthog]

ROI on CPU coins is in the years, not months like with GPU mining as of this moment.

Basically your equipment will be kinda obsolete by the time it has if ever returned enough coins to pay for the CPU alone if you buy new.
Your only recourse is to bet/gamble on the price-increase of the particular coins you want to mine.

You could scourge the market for second-hand CPU's of the better variety but you still need all the motherboards etc to go along with it.
And if you gonna mine you can't cheap out on the motherboards too much otherwise you will burn them out. The cheapest boards can't handle the higher wattage CPU's.

Basically you are better of using a GPU to mine other coins and taking payout in the CPU coin you want, than to directly mine with your CPU.

They are all "undervalued" in comparison for the effort/energy used.

This is a great discussion have a look at the Whive protocol which is still profitable to CPU mine given it has a unique opportunity for long-term profitability. Melanin Solar a startup is developing a use case for CPU mining using solar energy with a distributed smart box based on raspberry pi technology.

opportunity for long-term profitability

They all say that.

Yes, it is RandomX algo.

[dansus021]

Yes like everyone said is Monero or coin with randomx algo.

Are you intent mining with your CPU. I mean if yes the profitable is tiny, I came with an idea why you don't build mining rig with dozen of GPU and put the good CPU on it so you can mine both CPU and GPU mine 

[joniboini]

Yes, it is RandomX algo.

What's the profitability? Which Ryzen are you using to mine? I have a PC with 3600x, wondering if I can use it for something else other than gaming but I doubt it will give me anything meaningful for mining.

What does this actually mean? Does it help CPU mining become more efficient? You need to do more than this if you want to shill this project. I can't even find a website for this.

You could run it to mine Monero it depends if you gaming cpu intensive games or not, dedicate half the cores for mining.

I have a HTPC with a 200GE which is running 24/7 and use the cpu for mining monero  (total abt. 41W at wall) while mining) as it is only used to view Netflix, PrimeVideo, YT and viewing movies etc from my NAS box killing 2 birds with one stone

Running it like this I don't feel power costs too much.

Intel Xeon W9-3495X Sapphire Rapids CPU Sips Almost 2 Kilowatts of Power When Overclocked
Intel's Xeon W9-3495X "Sapphire Rapids" is currently the fastest multi-threaded CPU in the workstation segment but it also consumes an insane amount of power when overclocked.
Intel's Flagship Sapphire Rapids CPU, The Xeon W9-3495X, Pulls Almost 2000W of Power When Overclocked
The Intel Xeon W9-3495X is a juggernaut of a chip that offers 56 Golden Cove cores, 112 threads, 112 PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes, 105 MB of cache, and all of that in a 420W MTP package that can sip over 1000 Watts when overclocked. We have already seen various overclocking demonstrations of the chip where it hit anywhere from 1100W to 1400W power spikes but the most recent overclock demo by ASUS's in-house overclocker, Elm0r, saw power spikes hitting almost 2 Kilowatts, the highest ever recorded for a CPU.

Images of Giant Intel LGA 7529 Socket Appear – It Can Fit Six AMD Ryzen 7950X
https://gadgettendency.com/images-of-giant-intel-lga-7529-socket-appear-it-can-fit-six-amd-ryzen-7950x/
In China, a prototype motherboard of the Intel Mountain Stream platform for future server processors Granite Rapids and Sierra Forest lit up in front of the camera lens. And the most remarkable thing about the motherboard is the LGA 7529 processor socket.
The photo clearly shows that its length practically corresponds to the length of the RDIMM slots for DDR5 RAM modules – that is, about 10 cm! In another photo, the dimensions of the socket were clearly demonstrated: it can accommodate six AMD Ryzen 7950X processors.

This is a problem with the 3D CPU´s. And at the end, the benefit with high l3 cache is not worse to buy a 3D cpu for mining.
