so i was looking into setting up a CPU only monero miner I was looking at the threadrippers. DO you guys think its profitable to mine monero with a cpu only like that?
https://monerobenchmarks.info/Mining Monero is profitable if you have this processor and can mine on it in your spare time.
And buying a system unit for the sake of mining will be a very reckless investment.
It is better to buy video cards, because they are more versatile and can work with old motherboards and 2-core processors.
