Re: [CryptoNight] CPU mining guide & coins that will get you a return
If you mine a crypto currency with a hashrate 150 h/s, then it does not even pay for electricity costs 
The whole idea of this thread is to mine coins that will eventually increase in price. It is stated in the first post (with red) that you will probably pay more for electricity than you get in coins if you try to sell them right away. Please read the OP again.
These processors have a special TR4 socket. Motherboards for this socket cost $ 400-500. + the cost of a cooler is 40-50 dollars ( 180 W TDP )
Therefore, to compare AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1080ti for mining is unrealistic.
The comparison I have done is at the hash rate & price level for the two components not the connected devices that are required for them to run. )Therefore, to compare AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and 1080ti for mining is unrealistic.
Since the 1080TI (~$1000) has a CryptoNight hash rate of about 830 h/s and an older & cheaper AMD Ryzen 1700X has 725 h/s (~$330) (like you said previously) then I think it's comparable and a good alternative. Not to mention that you can get the CPU anywhere and the GPU is harder to find in shops/online.
Nonetheless, let's keep this discussion on topic (CPU mining guide & coins) as there are endless threads about this.
