I wan't to to save up some money on electricity by mining coins that don't use so much as scrypt. So which are these coins?

DarkCoin, HiroCoin, Myriad with groestl algo,...

And also summer is coming and the heat will be....

groestlcoin is what I'm mining now when it's profitable and I use a script to check which algo is best for myriad

Consider some POS coins instead of mining and you could save a lot of energy.
There are loads of new ones coming out everyday now.

Maybe take a look at heavycoin.

EXPRESSCOIN- Lose 20% of your value before even getting coins?!?!Sounds great!

just found this

If you guys could help me add to this list that would be great. We want to create an awesome algorithm monitoring hub to analyze the prominence of emerging hashing functions and their net hashrate dynamics. I'm trying to compile every coin that exists that isn't purely SHA256, Scrypt, Skein, Groestl, or Qubit. No PoS coins!

Updated List

Adaptive N: Vertcoin, GenesisCoin, ExeCoin, SpainCoin, SiliconValleyCoin, Rotocoin, GPU-Coin, 10-5 Coin, H2OCoin, RotoCoin, CaiShen, Altcoin, EmuCoin, Rhinohorn, ThePandaCoin(PANDA), CherryCoin, WolongCoin, PerfectCoint, MinerTokens, Euphorian, Cataloniacoin
Scrypt-Jane: Ultracoin, microCoin, Pennies, CopperBars, AppleCoin, Cachecoin, Tickets, Graphene, Bitleu, Fatecoin, FreeCoin, GoldPressedLatinum, HeroCoin, OneCoin, Pingas, RadioactiveCoin, ThorCoin, VendettaCoin, ZcCoin, YacCoin, InsertCoin, NITCoin
Cunningham Chains: DataCoin, PrimeCoin
X11: Darkcoin, HiroCoin
SHA-3/Keccak: 365Coin, CryptoMeth, Galleon, InkCoin CateDoge, eCoin, Palcoin, HelixCoin, Scrasic, MaxCoin, Slothcoin, NEM, Wolf, CopperLark, Sifcoin, WeCoin, UkraineCoin
Blake: Landcoin, Blakecoin, Photon,
Quark: Quark, Quarkbar, AnimeCoin, DIMEcoin, InternationalCoin, Randomquark, PopulaceCoin, SIFCoin, SecureCoin, OxCoin, DiamondCoin, Online-to-Offline
HSH256: Mediterraneancoin
Scrypt-PGC: Pangu
Scrypt-HTC: HuitongbiCoin
Fugue256: FugueCoin, CrownCoin
Proof of Friction: FrictionCoin
SHA1: SHA1Coin
Groestl x2: GroestlCoin
Prime: RieCoin
Momentum: Protoshares, MemoryCoin (modified)
Unclassified: ChainCoin, HunterCoin, Heavycoin

Please add to the list! I'll give each person 200 Myriad for each coin they can hunt down and add to the list. We want to include every coin, even the coin with just 1 miner on it (if it exists).

Yes I know that already i'm just looking for any other than x11 that uses 50% less than scrypt

MINT
COMM
ECC
NXT
TEK
PPC
BC
HBN

All are POS coins that produce coins without power.

I could go on, but I dont want to take all your myriads  Grin

I suggest staking with HoboNickels.  No GPU required, as it would be utilizing the proof of stake coin generation.  Easy for beginners because stake starts at 10 days.

Projects I Contribute To: libzerocoin | Veil | PIVX | HyperStake | Crown | SaluS

Either you go with POS or then your out of luck. How can people even think there is something like low power consumption coins? Either you want to mine at full power(100%) or you decrease your power consumption = fewer coins. If X11 is said to use less power that's just bullshit, you realize that this means that mining X11 coins is not optimized and your basically mining at less efficiency.

When you use less energy/generate less heat while mining these coins that mean your mining software is not efficient. It is very likely that more efficient software already exicts for these algorithms that take advantage of the full potential of the GPU which mean the same temperature and energy consumption as scrypt, and a significantly higher hashrate.

I prefer HVC. I'm mining it. The cool temperature is my love.

the algorithms were designed to be inefficient because they are difficult to parallelize since each round depends on the results of the previous round

as such, no hardware exists that can be super efficient at them
more efficient software? maybe, but by how much? 5-10%?

Like Litecoin where designed to be CPU only?  Smiley

it doesn't matter, litecoin uses scrypt which taxes gpu a lot

groestl actually doesn't tax the gpu as much, so while you can make an asic for it, you're probably not going to because of how unpopular it is
and nobody is wasting their time trying to optimize the last 1% of the mining script
