Title: Cpu-bound only alt coins
Post by: abdulmad on October 18, 2013, 11:05:04 AM
Does anybody have a list of alt coins that can only be mined with cpu's. I'll be generous and donate some asic to anyone that provide the list. I can search the forum but just don't have the time right now.

Thanks

PrimeCoin, ElaCoin, YaCoin are the ones I know about.

Edit: for a pretty complete list of coins, see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=134179.0.

My list would be short and sweet.

Primecoin, Tenebrix, MemoryCoin, ElaCoin, YaCoin and SifCoin

agreed Primecoin can by GPU mined but is still profitable to CPU mine it, and personally the only one I would mine as Sunny King is a good and active developer.

want to donate ASIC's to me!! that would be great.. you can start by mining on my pool :D http://fuzzypool.mine.bz/

Regards

there are GPU miners for almost all CPU coins now, although some barely work any faster than 2 pc's do vs 1

there is no GPU miner for MemoryCoin and scrypt-jane coins at high N levels (YAC,YBC maybe CPR) are more efficiently mined on CPUs

Elacoin is scrypt

(FYI dont use my BTC addy for mining)

A GPU miner for Quark-based coins has been released, which is probably around 10x faster than a fast PC, but it is also still CPU minable.

its about twice as fast as an i7 and only on 68xx series cards, 78xx/79xx series cards its about the same
and only works on solo mining and has a 12% fee

Ah, thanks for the info, I haven't tried the GPU miner myself. In which case, Quark is still very much a CPU coin.

htc(huitongcoin)

pgc(pangucoin)

All the CPU coins are here.

XPM is the special one.
qrk,src,off the same miner with combination of six algorithms
blc, SHA256 based coin, no cgminer now
meg scrypt with high memory,no cgminer
htc,pgc two chinese coins, maybe the same as meg

and GPU is being worked on by the dev

Most CPU alt coins can be mined by GPU already. The community created the program too fast...

How many infected PCs does your botnet have?
(Sorry, couldn't resist :))
