CPU mining is only really profitable for some relatively new CPU-only coins.
Otherwise the profit will be really low.

Where do you get free electricity/internet? lol
And I don't know any server provider changing thermal compound regularly and servers are also running 24/7.
In general I'd say CPU mining is only really profitable if your PC is running 24/7 anyway or if you're combining it with GPU mining.

Your opinion is correct, electricity and internet are not free. I just think if electricity and free internet are possible with mining CPU will get a profit hehe.

but there's a friend of mine; he's doing CPU mining in government offices, internet and electricity to be free, during mining in that place.

government offices - well, let's see if it was worth it when he will get caught  Grin

At least for my i7 6700k I can tell you that I'm earning ~ 15.28 $ per Week by mining this coin:

In combination with GPU-mining it's a nice 'bonus'.
