Title: Best coin to mine with dual core cpu?
Post by: mistercoin on July 06, 2013, 10:29:53 PM
Hey. If I have no other means of mining a coin besides a dual core CPU, which coin would be the best? I LOVE copperlark and with the sha3 algo I get about 2mhs on my cpu with 1 thread. Scrypt coins are much lower but im not sure which or what I should to in this regard. Scrypt-jane? Sha3? scrypt? Im stuck.

Let me know your thoughts..

Mr.Coin

You can try this coin it has a very low difficulty and needs more constant miners.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=208747.0

Quick info for coin:
Gamecoin specifications (Block 25200 and above)

2.5 minute block targets
2016 blocks (3.5 days) to retarget difficulty
48 blocks (2 hours) to retarget difficulty
Difficulty goes down 4 times faster than it goes up to protect against flash miners pushing the difficulty up too far.
subsidy halves in 840k blocks (~4 years)
~3360 million total coins
1000 coins per block
Scrypt based

Try YAC or YBCoin. Your cpu is at less of a disadvantage compared to regular scrypt coins.

Mine Primecoin when it launches tomorrow.  CPU only at launch, lots of buzz about it.  In the sea of garbage coins, this one might actually be something really special.

You can mine GeoCoins :D They are .001 diff right now, the caveat is they are 100% worthless.
