Frequently asked questions
What coins can I mine with the Intel i7-6700?
The Intel i7-6700 (CPU) can mine 7 proof-of-work coins on BackPoW, including Quantum, Monero, Tari-RandomX, Zephyr. Each coin shows its estimated hashrate, daily revenue and solo block-hit probability.
How profitable is the Intel i7-6700 for mining?
Profitability of the Intel i7-6700 depends on the coin, its network difficulty, the coin price, your electricity cost and pool fees. BackPoW ranks every mineable coin by daily, monthly and annual profit so you can pick the best target.
What is the best coin to mine with the Intel i7-6700?
Right now the single highest-earning coin for the Intel i7-6700 is Quantum (QRL), at about $0.0851/day gross (gross, before electricity). BackPoW re-ranks every mineable coin daily using live network difficulty and prices, so this can change.
Can the Intel i7-6700 solo mine?
Yes. BackPoW computes the Intel i7-6700's solo block-hit probability per coin using a Poisson model based on live network hashrate, so you can gauge your realistic chance of finding a block.
How long would the Intel i7-6700 take to solo mine one Quantum block?
About one Quantum (QRL) block every 13.3 days on average at the Intel i7-6700's rated hashrate, using Quantum's live network hashrate. Real results are random (Poisson) around this mean, recalculated every update.
