Hello all. If somebody have info about Linux console CPU miner or service like NiceHash but can working on console Linux servers - let me know. Trying MinerGate Linux console but profit still small. Also - what coin mining is ASIC/GPU resistance and profitable for CPU mining only?..

I Have mining cpu linux console using hostero.eu with nice console but small altcoin already they have, you should check your self. webd coin is cpu mining already, you have to check webdollar.io site,  they have hybrid algoritm pow and pos already.  depend of profitable, webd coin already gymbase exchange and p2pb2p exchange soon

Minergate isn't the best choice if you're just planning to use a single CPU miner,
it will take a few months to reach the minimum withdrawal unless you got a lot of referrals (https://minergate.com/affiliate) (yes, it's kind of a MLM but the victimsrecruits pay with hashes).
Also, it isn't totally a pool and a mining software, it's an all-in-one service and it takes a lot from your profit in exchange for ease-of-use.

Do this instead: Depending on your CPU, you should use a supported mining software like: XMR-Stak (https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/blob/master/README.md) (or a no dev-fee version (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3264773.0), Windows only) and point it to your selected pool that mines Monero (you're stuck with XMR based from your preference).
There's a video tutorial in the Read-Me on the link or read this (https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin/wiki/XMR-Stak-Linux-Guide) but disregard the coin and pool selection (choose your pick).

By the way, do not expect any profit from CPU mining (electricity cost≥payout).

Also most probably CPU mining for Monero becomes meaningless at about a month after each fork.
But you better wait for more opinions, I am almost certain that Monero is not the only coin you can mine, although indeed, you can't expect profit at CPU mining, so you better just buy those coins.

Thanks to all for replies, have some great info from them. As for me - I have some "free" electricity and free CPUs like AMD Ryzen with light load  - so, why not, If I can? :)

Best solution for me right now is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098631.msg50177418#msg50177418

0.14$/kHs for now. Not good, but better then nothing. Great profit to all!

I have only low end cpu on my PC. Do you guys think is worth trying to mine with? And is there any chance to try mining with  android phone, without turn phone hot?

Like I said, it's not worth the effort, electricity and time.
You could shorten its lifetime even more by mining. Give your low-end PC a favor and use it for something else or sell it if you really need the money.

And your Android phone, news about mining using your phone was a thing last 2017 because of the famous Electroneum miner that was advertised on their ICO, but it isn't actually mining (just like a gimmick to follow their promised roadmap).
You can try it though, it pays you ETN for keeping your data and the app open in the background (seach google for the coin name and their official site).
Note: this wont "turn your phone hot" since it doesn't actually mine, data connection will increase the temp though.

Also around 2017, coinhive was famous for it's API that can mine using the browser and website owners can integrate it to their site so that users who visit will "pay with hashes".
Technically, it's equal to pool mining and most faucets use it as a "micro-mining" feature, that way users can mine using their mobile phones to earn a few Satoshis (Decimals of Bitcoins) equivalent to their hashes.
The only faucet/micro-wallet site I know that still implements this is Coinpot.co but it doesn't pay with BTC just their token but you can convert it in the same website.

T/N: Any of these options won't produce any reasonable profit and just a waste of time.

Ok. Thanks i installed ETN app but mines only 2 ETN after 24 hours, but this is the advantage that now is cloud mining and phone not turns hot. Do you know any other coins like ETN?

Correction: it's not "Cloud Mining", it doesn't mine at all.
It's more of an "Air Drop" to dedicated users and 2ETN/day is a normal rate (I think it's based from your phone's build prop properties: Model name, not the specs)
AFAIK, nothing else have the budget to maintain that gimmick, only ETN.
