Easiest Altcoin to mine with few CPU

[patros]

Hello,

I would like to create an altcoin that can be easily mined with low CPU for educational purposes.
Can anyone recommend a forkon Github ? Is CryptoNote a good solutions ?

Thanks for your reply

Anything can be mined with a low CPU as long as not many people are mining it. The difficulty retarget will take care of it.

But if you want a public coin that you can still mine with a CPU, then one of your best bet for an algo is scrypt-jane with a high n-factor (17 or higher) at which point GPUs are roughly as fast as CPUs.

So are there any coins that fit this category? If so what's the name of those coins?

You can probably mine Joincoin's Bastion algo (which is a multi algo coin) with a CPU and find blocks.

There are already GPU miners for cryptonote coins.

If this is for educational purposed then I would fork a bitcoin clone. Recently there were two that launched with new algos. They are CPU only at the moment, until someone makes a GPU miner for it.

Here are links to them:

and then this one
