what's the best coin to cpu mine? i'm assuming monero? i have an i7 6850k and electricity is free

Monero is pretty much the only thing worth CPU mining, but it's huge right now. It's great because it's memory hard so it doesn't burn that much power. (not that that matters to you) My 6700k@4.5 is pulling down $1.25/day and only using about 45W to do it.

I checked logs and it was. It didn't move off that algorithm at all, but it dropped back to normal payouts at some point. Some goofy thing going on for sure.

So I got my 5 pack of RX580s in a gigantic MSI box. I modded them all and benchmarked them, 4 Elpida / 1 Samsung, so I’ll be looking at adding around 147 mh in dagger or just over 4100 h/s crypto night. Just waiting on the 008s risers coming tomorrow for this RISKY BUSINESS in the wooden tinderbox.

I also bought a rx 580 but because it meets my specific gaming needs and is not expressly for mining.
I got it instead of a 1060 or 1070 because the extra AMD heat will be a pleasant bonus.

Sounds like you guys are doing a little more customization than I am. I have the newest version of NiceHash and my 1070 is running whatever the benchmarked algorithms are. Would NiceHash figure out to hash for Monero using my CPU if I wanted to get that in the mix?

Yes, select CPU in the hardware menu. There is only one algorithm, benchmark if you haven't.

now there are 2 in the latest stable build of legacy. The 2nd one never actually finishes benchmark for me.

Is there a way to make it use more cores? It never goes over 60% cpu utilization for me. Even when i set "less cores" to 1 it still uses 60%

cryptonight on cpus is limited by cache, it also should only use physical cores so if you have a HT cpu, that should explain that.

Yep. Each thread requires 2MB of L3, so it will run whichever is the lesser number of half your L3 in MB or how many physical cores you have. Or it should, anyway. If it doesn't run that many automatically then setting it to do so will probably improve performance.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Trying Minergate for the time being. Looks pretty nice, clearly more robust and "serious", but it also does auto mining which is critical for me so I'll see how this goes. No real daily dollar estimate though
