  As of now, mining cryptocurrencies with a CPU is generally not worth it. The mining difficulty has increased significantly over the years, making it more difficult for CPUs to compete with specialized mining hardware such as ASICs. Additionally, the electricity costs associated with CPU mining can often outweigh the profits. It is recommended to use specialized mining rigs or join mining pools to increase the chances of profitability.

  No, it's not worth it anymore. The days of mining cryptocurrencies with a CPU are long gone. The competition is fierce, and the rewards are minimal compared to the expenses involved. If you're serious about mining, invest in dedicated mining hardware or consider other mining methods like cloud mining.

  While it may not be profitable for most people to mine cryptocurrencies with a CPU, there are still some niche cryptocurrencies that can be mined effectively with a CPU. For example, BYDFi is a cryptocurrency that is designed to be CPU-minable, providing an opportunity for CPU miners to earn rewards. However, it's important to do thorough research and consider factors such as electricity costs before deciding to mine with a CPU.
