Anyone doing any CPU mining still?

For what? How's it going?

Raptoreum! The latest king of CPU mining!

For what? How's it going?

Why? Are you interest in CPU mining?

 

[T_Minus]

Why? Are you interest in CPU mining?

Yeah -- if it's still worthwhile. Something I can learn more about and play with getting going during holidays

Is Raptoreum profitable enough to justify investment? the calculator tells me ROI is very low: Raptoreum Mining Hashrate Calculator

For the record, I am not doing CPU mining now.

The answer to your question is "depend".
All miner dream about a coin going from penny to few hundred dollar per coin.

Remind me, back in 2016, one evening, I setup few i5-3450 and E5-2650 machines.
I started solo mining XMR , within 28 hours, I hit 1 block ( 8.78 XMR payout ).
Back then XMR price was less than 50 cents.

I am still holding all the XMR that I mine since 2016.

XMR all time high price was almost $500.
Today's XMR price is $244 per coin

i still mine monero (=xmr).

i still mine monero (=xmr).

If I am interest in xmr mining again,

Any CPU you would recommend?

for monero and cpu is L1, L2 and L3 cache sizes important.

if you have a cpu with 32 cores or threads, but e.g. L3 cache of 32 MB, then you can mine with 16 cores or threads.
but if your L3 cache is 64MB, then you can mine with full 32 cores of threads.

mostly zen2 cpu are very suitable for monero mining because of cache size's and cpu cores relations.

but....i wouldn't recommend to buy hardware for monero mining, because hardware price is very high and ROI is very long.

So BenchMark doesn't have Alibaba's 128-Core Armv9, (or any of the crazy high RSIC core base machines) I have seen one of the bata boxes with 12 CPUs in one chassis that is like 1536 cores, so it might be a little slower than it would make up with the fire hose of processing.

just a thought.
