Is there such thing as a CPU only mineable coin?

If so can you provide some names of coins that are truly CPU mineable?

What exactly makes a crpyto mineable by CPU only?

A good list of CPU coins here, I couldn't tell you if any of them are CPU only though.

http://cpucoinlist.com/

The main difference between CPU's and GPU cores is how they process tasks. You can make an algorithm that's optimized for the sequential processing that CPU's use, but there is nothing that prevents GPU's from developing to do the processing in a parallel.

m7m algo is one... Magi :

http://www.m-core.org/

Credits is CPU mining only, it uses the new Argon2d algo thats gpu resistant
check out the ANN for more info

BiblePay (BBP) is a CPU mining only coin! Just launched a few months ago!

magi is also a GPU coin, nothing in the algo itself has anything CPU specific.
the DIFFICULTY of magi is coded tho to reduce blockreward as more hash is thrown at it, so its worthless to gpu mine even tho possible

ROIcoin is a cpu only coin, theres a few but thats the only live one i can think of haha , and its barely alive

the REASON is simple:  cheap cloud credits make for easy CPU botnets , so the coins struggle to hold value :/

Credits(CRDS) is truly CPU only using Argon2d algorithm. Requires a 64-bit OS though. https://crds.co

Most new algorithms start off as CPU only (including BTC), until it becomes profitable enough to make it feasible for someone to take the time to develop a GPU miner for it.

Just nonpopularity of the coin makes it CPU-only. Of course there are some algos where GPU superiority is not so high in comparision with CPU (like Cryptonight). Now there is no any highcap coin with CPU-only. As soon the coin is become enough famous the smart people appears and create GPU-miner. Zcash a year ago is bright example.

I know only one cpu coin but it not listing any exchange now. zzl coin

AEON is cpu only and can be mined with minergate app. real easy

I think you can use cpu for mine Cryptonote algorithm
But it is not good
Cpu only got low hashrate than GPU, so its useless

Yenten is cpu only and asics resistant. Gpu mining is slower.
This is bitcoin for everybody

Yes they do exist! BiblePay White Paper: http://pool.biblepay.org/Docs/BiblePay_White_Paper.pdf
The lead dev has also added a reward if anyone can break the ASIC Resistance of the Proof of BibleHash (POBh) algorithm

Problem is these coins are infested with botnets mining on them making mining not very profitable in most cases. You'll make some coin but not as much as with GPU mining. Viruses and a couple hundred or thousand ARM /x86 processors hashing away easily beats out any single cpu.

I don't know but the name "BiblePay" seems a bit off.
Sure will gather the religious, but will surely piss off most of them (intellectual ones).
This happens quite a lot with profitable coins, even with bitcoin.
The most remarkable one is Monero which has an unaffiliated "anti-advertising" API that was readily available for website developers.
That however became an easy resource for Hackers to exploit background mining.

Why would any 'hacker' target Bitcoin for mining? Difficulty on the BTC chain is so high there's no point in doing so, and when the first few mining viruses came out, CPU mining was still not viable. Coinhive is what you're talking about for the second, and it's a Javascript miner. Adblockers can block it IIRC.

Stop quoting my whole post just to argue a phrase from it.

• I said Even means Bitcoin is not an exception.
• An Easy Resource beacause it will not be used the way it was designed.

And do a research on botnets.

YENTEN Coin uses yescriptR16 algo, that is very resistant against gpu mining.

They had now changed to Proof of Distributed Computing through BOINC. I guess BOINC (thus BBP) is GPU minable.

BiblePay now rewards cancer/science research for Rosetta project through BOINC,
Rosetta is a CPU only project that does protein folding

Regular POW (Proof of Work) mining is still rewarded

Claims to be only CPU mineable

there are many coins in cryptonight. all those coins are minable with CPU's. however those coins are also minable with GPU's.. currently there is only m7m (magi coin) which is only minable with CPU.

Sorry that's not true, credits(CRDS) and dynamic (DYN) use argon2d algorithm which is CPU mining only

Marinecoin MTC  The first Dev-less  self-sustaining  Crypto-Currenncy  Artificial Intelligence Machine to Machine payment network Artificial intelligence what is AI  Well Marinecoin has a ico where you can earn up to 20;000 MTC simply by following all of the steps specified.   And then javis AI  will analyse the applications for proof of promotion to make sure only genuine applicants receive the ico .    Marinecoins block chain is 500% faster that Bitcoin Which offer fast secure transactions .it is also eco friendly because it uses very little energy  MTC also has its own exchange which is safe and secure.  MTC is dev less no need for miners  which leaves the community in control of the future MTC.   So come and join the MTC community https://marineco.inAnd remember Javis Artificial Intelligence  is checking for proof of promotion which only exits with Marinecoin.

Check out the new coin Wavi, it got released earlier this month, and they developed their own new algorithm aswell! Their point is that they want to destroy the centralized ASICs and bring back CPU mining to the people. I really love it, they got an announcement thread here on bitcointalk.

could remember the times to mine zcash with cpu =))

a lot of i7 got really work to do

Yes, a good one example! They use YescryptR32 algo.

It's a shame that almost all mining is ASICs or GPUs.

the list is plain wrong, with X11, Groestl and Cryptonight coins which all have ASICs


CPU coins in general are those which either use an algo more efficient on a CPU than GPU (Yescrypt variants, Argon2d, HOdl, Lyra2h, Lyra2z330) or those that adapt to hashrate increase (M7M - Magi coin)

You can develop a GPU miner (for example Lyra2h and Yescrypt GPU miners exists), but they are not as efficient as CPU, or just drop the network reward (M7M) so much it wont be worth it

Right now, from what I saw, the most profitable are Lyra2h, YescryptR16/R32, Argon2d and HOdl)

Only shitcoins are CPU only. Any popular coin attracts developers and they create GPU miners for it sooner or later.

Arionum is legit and CPU only.


Low n slow project, may go well, if you like these kind of coins.

0xbitcoin.org. Basically Bitcoin on the ERC20 chassis. CPU minable. I'm looking for others too.

as long as a coin can be mined using CPU its means you can to mine using a laptop.such ETN, BCN, XMR and another coin. but personally, I don't suggest mining using a laptop. many things must be noticed:
1. Laptop doesn't design for running 24/7.

2. Fan laptop too small for reducing heat.

3. Diff a coin too high, if mining using a laptop moreover XMR.

4. Laptop will generate is a bit hashrate and that determines how many a coin which you will be able to.

Yes if you want to kill it  ;D

Nothing to do with being CPU Only...

It was profitable to mine Zoin using CPU sometime back. It is no longer the case. There are some other CPU minable coins like Myriad, UIS using yescrypt algo and the one I mine currently is b2bcoin which is still CPU minable.

ROI Coin is CPU only and the devs intend to keep it that way. Monero and Sumokoin CPU mining is reasonably profitable now with the hard forks.

Yet again, why are you posting here.
This has nothing to do with cpu only coins.

No ... you just can take advantages of some CPU features that will make economically difficult to beat the major manufactures prices ..

   

not really, actually a lot of coins that can be mined by the CPU, like CoinWarz, Minergate and many others depending what CPU we use, and how many coins we want to get, if the CPU capacity is large then the coin to be obtained is also large

It's very possible to mine Masari with CPU only through the wallet. Low network hashrate and a great future are nice as well.

Marinecoin Let’s take a look at three features of Marinecoin: - Fast blockchain. Marinecoin normal blockchain is five times faster than Bitcoin. In the busy time, Marinecoin. Running speed can be increased by 100 times. - Low cost Many other blockchains When the network load brings a lot of trouble to their users, the transfer fee will increase dramatically. The Marinecoin fast network is almost zero cost and instantly confirmed. This is a guarantee for the customer, allowing the user to feel comfortable using the currency when transferring money. - Anti-stress network. Payment System in Internet Artificial Intelligence (AI) of Things (IoT). time dilution technology. time dilution technology - artificial intelligence - self sustaining - community - fair distribution - iot -5. I can tell you a lot about Marinecoin’s advantages: cutting-edge technology. High-speed blockchain network, lightweight purse for low-resource IoT devices. From the first day of your currency, our own exchange provides you with liquidity. Community-oriented. Since we are sending money to real-name certified seed users, we have real communities and open members. To provide an exciting community environment, our approach is very similar to the early Bitcoin model. Welcome to visit: marineco.in/.

Yes CPU miners exist,

what doesn't exist is any PROFIT from CPU mining.

Not saying it isn't possible.  I'll be happy if we get close to ATH's in 2018.

LOL
I make much more money CPU mining than GPU mining.
J

The cpu coins from mining any altcoin with your PC or cpu,as you will mostly not be able to make more than a few cents per day. You can just test the waters by mining crypto this way, to just get acquainted with the overall process of mining. If you don’t want to get involved in any technical systems , you can use we getting mining software. It is very simple just download the miner.one for central processing unit mining, another for GPU mining using AMD graphic cards, and the final version is for GPU mining using PC systematic graphics cards of mining strategy.The information about newly mined blocks to your CPU or GPU to be able to mine further blocks along Ethereum’s blockchain are really exist of CPU coins process of system.

SCAM - came out years ago

Yes that is true. But it seems hard to understand to mine.

You need some coins first and where would we get the starter coins if ever we don't buy?

Yes true. I tried to research also on them.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2957974.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2971179.0

Yes, HEXX coin, can only mine with CPU.

I'm mining ROI Coin, interesting coin, good dev and yes CPU only.

I read thru all of it and many interesting and true stuff in. (Botnets are a problem, but there are options ... )

Anyways to BOINC. Better see BOINC as a plattform where many many projects can participate.
Projects of science and research, but also financial services. But serious stuff from university etc.

If the project SETI is best written to work on INTEL, then its like it is.
If its fine for CPU and GPU it maybe can differ.

But those projects dont make a difference because of the Algo they want to use, but they have to use!
If you can calculate the next prime number best with the technic of NVIDIA or you can solve the next protein chain best with an old HD5000 then it is like it is. (all over all; there is more to think about - but not important for this post)

BOINC is the master distribution system to those projects. You can add projects to your account (and working queue), you can prio them and and and ... but lets getting serious. Why we are all here?
Yes of course we want to make the world a better place, be more fair ... bla bla bla ... -> PROFIT :) 8)

GridCoin is the next connection in this bunch of stuff you have to understand and setup.
Maybe they changed a bit over the month but during my tests it was like that.

1) You have to register with GridCoin.us
2) You have to install and setup a Gridcoin Wallet (terrible full node wallets of course!)
3) You have to make a BOINC account.
4) You have to install BOINC (and a bunch of stuff before --- I cannot remember --- mabye C# libs, maybe Framework stuff
5) You have to connect everything with everything in a way. GRC with BOINC and your BOINC user with the BOINC installation on the worker. And was there something like a master and the other worker where the slaves? I think yes, but I am not sure anymore. I should start making videos of such tests...
6) You have to choose the projects you want to work with on every worker server (cpu, gpu etc.)
7) You have to setup every worker with BOINC (see the 4-5)

Then after a while you are wondering why you dont earn anything. Cents, only  >:( ::)
I had some money (coins) left and bought more GRC to stake them.

So there are two important things to maximize your income with BOINC and GRC
[-A-] Dont switch the projects. As longer your stay in as more trust (or whatever, level, rating etc.) you will get. If you switch the project on the GPU from PROTEIN CHAINS to SETI you start from 0 rating.
[-B-] I am not quiet sure, but it was like that: You have to stake GRC and more GRC you have in your wallet as more GRC you will earn or you get your income faster. I am not sure about this [-B-] and I forgot it in details. There was something like a max limit then you cannot reach more even if you stake more, but anyways --- I DONT WANT TO REMEMBER.

I had the XEON POWER for free and it was just my time. € 12,- in 2 month with a bunch of 2 serverracks full each with 20 servers.

CPU mining is really a problem with Botnets if there is no real work packets included for CPU or GPU, only.
But as long CPU mining with BOINC is so unprofitable I will not test it again ;)

Maybe someone is testing it soon and can report the news about it.
I loved SETI as a children and my first computer was helping to find alien lifeforms in the universe.
Not for the profit, for the believe!
https://dgeiu3fz282x5.cloudfront.net/g/l/l-180761.jpg
(Just kidding! Without joking: I believe in the drake formula!)
 
BOINC and GRC is still this. At the end you get a candy on top ;)
SETI, where is my CANDY for 3 YEARS SEARCHING WITH MY x486 !!!???  :P ;D ;)

Last but not least.
I love the idea of BOINC, GRC and the work of humans as HIVE togehter, but the balance of paying the power should be found for every individual.

Chinese companies are trying to kill the GPU mining market once again cause they are greedy, just like they did to Bitcoin and Litecoin. GPU Mining died in 2013 and was resurrected in 2015 with the Cryptocoins Generation 2.0, although many of you miners just started mining on 2016 due to huge pumps on those 2.0 cryptocoins.

As Cryptocoins got more popular than in 2011 - 2013. The new generation of Cryptocoins 2015 and afterwards are endangered by ASICS once again, and 2018 looks to be the year of per the title "GPU mining will die in 2018!".

Keep in mind that there are possible ASICS for ethash already for Q1, and even if ETH goes POS, ETC and other ethash coins will be only ASICS and if that happens only Equihash coins will be minable for a time and I have a word that there is already an ASIC in development for Equihash already and will start delivering in Q4 2018. As GPU mining keep gets scarce, other popular coins will have pumps and so ASICS will be born for them.

I want to know your thoughts about it and I wonder the limits of --> "where, there is money to be made, there is greedy"

Keep in mind that this price crashing we are seeing is due also to the fear of ASICS for most GPU mining coins.

Cryply looks cool.   https://cryply.io

Fast transactions without fees , CPU mining , GUI miner with just one click to start mining.

And mining it on GPU is slower than on CPU. Algo: yespower

Im mining it on 4 years old netbook and get about 3 to 4 coins a day  (where max supply is 84 milions) .

you can mine electoneum (etn) coin on your cpu and gpu,but cpu mining is slow if your pc have high end gpu then you can get good hash rate

4 cryply coins a day gives you 0,00381864 $ a day. It is also worth noting the presence of this coin only on very exotic stock exchanges - Axnet, Bitbox, Crex.

What you do completely doesn't make sense.

Say it to people who mined Bitcoin in 2011 ... They heard the same.

I dont say cryply will be worth something (maybe it ends as another dead coin) but i DO NOT invest in any hardware for mining and i dont waste much electricity.

I think everyone should mine a coin on cheap devices ... in other case your role is reduced to a customer who can only BUY the coins PRODUCED by mining farms ... Thats not what i call decentralization...

Even if i earn nothing im still having fun and nothing to lose..

Uranium-X is a cpu only coin and will be listed to safe.trade any day now

Any coin with YesPower algo is CPU
cryply, bellcoin

about 20 cpu only coins on this group
