I've been wondering if it's still profitable to do CPU mining? I have tried Minergate with limited success and recently tried mining monero with XMR-Stak. Mainly just thought I'd stop lurking and say hello!

It depends.

If you have a cpu with lots of cache like the ryzen 1700/1800 or Threadripper 1920x/1950x you can still make a profit. But it’s not much.

As for the cpu in the typical mining rigs g3930/4400 it’s not even worth the effort at this point.

I have found out that Ryzen CPUs do well on Argon2d and 2i algorithms but i7 are much better at mining Yescrypt coins.

kinda can't find any Yescrypt coins to mine. Can you please guide me? thx mate
