Title: Any coin for cpu-only miners?
Post by: jap1968 on December 16, 2013, 04:21:15 PM
I currently do not have any graphics card (only low-end integrated) but I am interested in doing some mining.

Using my hardware I can reach just around 30 kH/s, so I can not compete with anyone using GPUs.

So, the question is, are there any coin where only cpus are able to mining?

Otherwise, what would be the best option for mining with such a low powerful hardware?

If your CPU supports AES-NI instructions and you have the RAM to spare, I'd give this one a shot.

I personally mine Litecoins (LTC) & Datacoins (DTC), which are both CPU coins...

There are plenty of topics covering how to mine either one on the forums here if you need help, or I can try to help you :)

LTC can be mined with GPU so there is no reason to mine with CPU.
Not sure about the second, I hear this coin name first time  :P

There's a long list of coins at www.p2pool.org

Don't ask me what's worth it, I only do BTC and LTC, nothing worth anything comes easy.

Are there truly any TRUE only CPU mining coins out there?  I know a bunch of coins have tried it but it seems like people are always finding a way to use the GPU because there is money to be made.   Is Datacoin new?  might be a matter of time until they figure out how to GPU mine that.
