Raptoreum is a new CPU-mineable crypto currency, which is really promising.
The price of Raptoreum (RTM) is relatively high, causing an overheated race for CPU mining rigs.
Right now the most profitable way to mine Raptoreum is by getting AMD Ryzen 9 3900X systems.
However, is it really worth it now to still invest into mining hardware after a massive difficulty increase due to many people jumping on this?

Conclusions based on personal mining rigs:
- the Intel Xeon E5 series single or dual-socket (whether v0, v2 or v3 is irrelevant) Xeons are not even breaking even when it comes to the cost of electricity. I got a dual socket Xeon E5-2630v2 and a dual socket E5-2670v0, but they are practically useless. The old AMD FX8350 is even worse.
- it is only worth to mine it on AMD Ryzen 9 systems, however, the ROI is now over 300 days
- mining hardware is way too expensive, long term profitability is unclear
- those who took a risk early on made a good profit, but the hashrate has increased
way too steep
- best strategy is most likely to only mine this coin if you already own a Ryzen 9 system
