cryptonight / monero is what you want to mine and pretty much the only thing worth mining with cpu. Sadly i haven't found any others that come close, it depends on your powercosts if its profitable but its the "cpu" coin at the moment with a single i7 its gonna be less than 1$ a day before power costs

The results were disappointing when I tried mining MONERO for myself, mining with your CPU isn't worth it at all, you'll be giving up your PC for something that will barely earn you a dollar per day.

Monero is dominated by botnets.

CPU mining is not profitable, if you have free power and free hardware they yea why not, but it's not even worth the extra heat and noise in my opinion, sell something or save up and build a gpu rig.

He would be lucky if he even earned $0.50 before power costs. CPU mining is entirely unprofitable, you will probably end up paying more in electricity than you are making.
