Hi. Define what's a ton?
 

You can run a monero/aeon miner on the power architecture.

I have run one that gets around 4500 H/sec on the Power9 architecture.

For Cryptonight it's the core count, not really IPC performance. FX-8350 eats every i7 for breakfast.
But coins like Verium have very similar performance on a 16 core Ryzen 7, and a 8 core i7 7700K. Depends on algo.
If you want to buy a ton of CPUs for mining Cryptonight, then it's much better to build a 12 or 13 card RX560 rig with some cheap Celeron.
A moded RX560 gives about 550H\s, same as the Ryzen, and you can calculate the price difference yourself. Also for every CPU you need a MB, RAM and Power Supply.

CPU mining is just good for fun or some little extra income. Verium for example is mined via some ARM based boards, and they are cheap compared to any powerful CPU today. So go that way if you want to mine coins like Verium, or maybe Magi.

I have a similar setup with an R9 390, mining ETH at 29-30 MH/s, eq. to about 85-90$/month. How do you get to 150$?

Thanks for this thread.  I'm just now getting into zoin mining (decent profit so far), but I think I may switch to intensecoin after that raving review.

I have been thinking about mining both on my CPU and GPU.  I know this thread is about CPU mining, but what do you recommend for a GPU coin to mine with a nvidia 1060 6gig?

Is it still worth it to mine bitcoal from the wallet?

3930K has 12MB of L3 cache and 3770K has 8MB of L3 cache so you are limited to 6 and 4 threads. Intel's consumer CPUs are not great at mining CryptoNight until you get into their server Xeon line with larger amounts of L3 cache.

I am mining it too but it is not so valuable yet. I mine about 4 everyday. I think I can profit more with Eth I don't know. But I like to support other coins as well so I will keep mining them for a while more. How do you find  the coin?

Credits (CRDS) is CPU-only and just got listed on CryptoBridge. We have a new calculator for mining profits: http://crds-calulator.000webhostapp.com/
Only solo mining is currently available.

There are also some places left for the airdrop (see below).
