Title: Best Coin/Algo for CPU mining? Post by: HotSwap on September 22, 2014, 06:10:26 PM Just curious if anyone has any insights into what is the best coin and or algo for CPU mining. I don't pay for electric and I keep my computer on all the time and wouldn't mind a using my idle CPU for a little something!

It uses 3 orders of magnitude more memory than scrypt while being instantly verifiable. See https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo for details... Title: Re: Best Coin/Algo for CPU mining?

Post by: HotSwap on September 23, 2014, 08:35:32 AM I've been watching monero but I think they just had a security issue if I remember correctly. Also they do have GPU miners.
