Dcrypt, Prime Constellations, CryptoNight and i think that also wild keccak but i'm not sure.

check the magi: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735170.0

it's about 10k satoshi right now. But I guess it'll get to at least 1mbtc.

CryptoNight has GPU miners now. But the CPU miner is more efficient.

GlobalBoostY is still cpu only. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=775289.680 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=775289.680)  they are starting to test GPU soon though..

There's no such thing as "CPU only". You must mean: "For which coins are non-CPU miners currently not known to exist?"

I believe soon the CPU only coin would be GPU also... so mine while you can and dont invest in more mining gear..

In Motocoin we are basically attempting to structure our proof-of-play mining so that no particular hardware will ultimately have any opportunity for meaningful advantage over any other, or over mining by hand.  As far as I know this capability would be unique to the proof-of-play security model. (Or more generally proof-of-cognition work functions.)

Interestingly we somehow don't have enough miners of *any* sort of hardware.  (Especially wetware miners.) Difficulty has remained rather low since we unstalled the chain, and mining is easy, profitable, and fun. 

MOTO needs miners!

Link please? I may look into that.

450K premine (was partially used for rewards, the rest was sold in panic during the early days of Motocoin).
u kidding me? ;D
Also you have to play that game in order to get coins? That sucks...i expected something on a bit higher level.

Or which coins are CPU more efficient than GPU?

Most/all of them have been named in previous posts so read them instread of writing another post.

I think the premine is of little concern at this point, but I understand the reaction.

It is pretty obvious exactly when and how much the devs sold off.  (The short version of the story is that some people mistakenly thought that the network was under attack, and initiated some panic dumping.)  Note that I had no part in the launch planning or premine, and maintain the coin now strictly as a volunteer.  The original developers choose to have only minimal involvement these days.

I think a more realistic, related concern would be the holdings of the "mystery bot operator" but this is an ongoing debate.

In any case the more significant concern, for me, would be the total coin cap.  (On the other hand this technically makes the premine percentage smaller than any coin to date, HEH.)

I am not sure what you mean by "on a bit higher level."  Could you please rephrase?  I'd love to hear any suggestions to make mining more appealing.

I don't know, i stopped reading after i found the premine, you have to play that game to mine or just have it running as i doubt miners sit next to their comps and play.

Yacoin, currently at Nf-16, is not YET CPU only, but were close ;)

Cuckoo Cycle is the only algorithm that's more memory-intensive than compute-intensive
(computation taking only 33% of its runtime).

It can furthermore require 100s of MBs, while remaining instantly verifiable.

There is an unclaimed bounty of $1000 for a GPU implementation that can match a server CPU
in performance.
