CPU mining will cost you more in electricity that what it will make you. GPU's is the only way to make money.
maybe but right now i have 3 desktops i built literally years ago and don't really use so havent upgraded. Tried to run cpu miners on each one but they are still on xp and can't get them to work. (like i said is never use them) It would cost me more in upgrades or a new system than i would ever make. The most updated gpu i have is an nVidia 670 i think, can't even run cuda. Unless anyone has some extra hardware laying around they'd want to donate to me, i'm kinda stuck mining cpu. And the system I'm on is always running anyway, so no great expenditure in electricity
Which is fine i guess, I definitely have no illusions that i'm going to make miilions of dollars mining doge and kittehcoin, lol. Not that I wouldn't love to, who wouldn't, but I'm not caught up in that whole get-rich-quick fantasy...it is fun though.
