Hello Guys,

I’ve been mining monero for 3 years and finally got 1 whole XMR.

I’ve used multiple computers with slowest CPU being i5-3340M (2 Cores, 3Ghz).

Total number of physical cores across my mining machines(old macbook with broken screen, old dell laptop, intel nuc and desktop PC from 2016) is 12

I know some of you think it’s not even worth it and i would agree.

But we all know that mining will get harder over time. And I think, in 10-20 years to gain same number of coins you will need 64 cores CPU.

So I post this to encourage you to use even dated hardware. Remember the best mining rig is the one you already have in a closet.
