Not me anymore 
Right .. so its probably the power bill that stops it from being profitable, coz 1 good GPU is $600 + and the server I want is 128 cores for the same price.
The hardware costs are about the same. Am I still seeing this wrong?
I cpu mine with an old gaming rig i have. I get 56khs per core, and I have 4 cores. It's not to bad. I mine darkcoin. X11 seems to be the only thing worth mining. ASICS are taking over everything else.
Hi, so do you think that this server might pay itself off anytime then?

I mean, does mining darkcoin pay for the power bill at least?
You bumped a thread that was over 7 months old, which in crypto terms is almost 3 decades old. CPU mining more or less ended when XPM has GPUs take over the hash. I mined XPM on CPUs until Feb, after that it became pointless.
Your 128 core server can't compete with GPUs. Look at the alt mining subforum and you will find Claymore's GPU miner for XPM. CPU mining would not even cover power costs (also XPM is tanking in price).
:-) .. thanks for the quick answer .. so basically, CPU mining is finished then.. forget the whole idea ?
What a shame if thats the case, all those cheap 128 core servers going to waste. lol
Hey guys .. nice forum post, looks like there right place to post.
Anyway .. lets say you can get a server with 128 cores .. and you mine primecoin at current rates, what would be a good average earnings per day?
Or something like 8 x 8core server. 64 cores.

Its only like 700 swiss francs .. thats around $500 USD i think .. will the machine pay for it self anytime soon ?? :-)
Would it be enough to cover energy cost?
It's hard coz I can't seem to find good cpu mining calculators.
I like the idea of primecoin or CPU coins, but is idea just going to cost me money?
Thanks guys

Re: [ANN][MUN] Muniti: Malta's national cryptocurrency - promoting tourism! X11 algo
I was told by someone else here, I will need to create a batch file with some details and execute that.
I have never installed a miner before so I got no idea what I'm doing :-) .. but I really want to mine this coin for some reason.
Anyway, thanks for the link, I downloaded and ran miners-bdver1 .. assuming thats the right one, but I get an error when i run it.
HTTP failed: Failed connect to 127.0.0.1:9332; No error and then
json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds.
Will creating that batch file in the same folder as the miner executable fix this?
Thanks again
You can't just execute the exe. You have to pass parameter to that exe to what pool you want to connect and that's what you do with the .bat file.
127.0.0.1 is your local IP or in simpler words your own PC. This you can only use if you solo mine (you have to start the wallte before and create a config for it) which is already impossible to do. You will never find a block.
My advice check out some pools some have good GetStarted helps.
But more importand. Be very carefully what you download and execute. It's really extremly dangerous in the crypto world. You can not trust anyone.
Always check the wallets with: https://www.virustotal.com
Right, thanks for the tip and helping out a real n00b :-) is it worth cpu mining when there's already gpu ?
So I assume i should join a pool and figure out how to use xcoin miners. right?
Any suggestions what to read or which pool to join to best learn cpu mining?
I really appreciate your help btw, this crypto world is the wild west :-)
I'm using a computer with nothing on it just to do the mining, and I only installed the software listed here so far, but yes, virus scans too.
Thanks again.
Re: [ANN][MUN] Muniti: Malta's national cryptocurrency - promoting tourism! X11 algo
make sure to use the fastest minerd fitting to your cpu.
forexample if you have a modern intel PC CPU ( i7 ) use minerd-corei7-avx.exe
to really get the best out of your CPU.
There should be a readme you can see which one to choose best

Thanks for the advice, I will need to investigate this further.. just wondering .. for this coin, is it worth cpu mining if theres gpu mining available?

.. but the CPU miner did not, what am I supposed to do, I unzip it and nothing happens.
Are there some install instructions somewhere?
Thanks

Create a .bat file with command:
Code:
minerd -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://pool.add.res:3434 -u user.worker -p passwd
and run itedit: replace pool address, usr, pas with your's...
Thanks for that. Appreciated, this is my first time mining, I'm clueless right now. :-)
