Re: What are CPU only mineable coins?

I mine currenctly XMR (not so great) but bether then ETN. XMR has some value. ETN only dropped in value.

There are much better alternatives for CPU-mining.

I'd recommend checking for coins using the Argon2d-algorithm like Credits (CRDS), Dynamic (DYN) or Nimiq (NIM).
According to my experience I'd say Nimiq is the most profitable "CPU-only coin" currently (just make sure to use the external miner and not the browser-mining).

There may be more profitable alternatives I haven't tried yet.

thanks I would check it out tommorrow. I use a virtual box for linux.

Do you use for all three linux ? I have it running now in windows. I wil test it 5 hours in windows and 5 hours in linux vm. We shall see the results.

Hi,

Yes, I was using Linux (Ubuntu) for all three of them but right now I'm only mining NIM.

https://miner.beeppool.org/ may also increase your hashrate and should be compatible with WSL (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10).

I mine NIM too, with VPS. You doing it with your own cpu?
