Alright, well here we go!

I found that GPU mining is very power consuming and costs a lot....welll CPU mining isn’t :-)
Mining VERIUM, is profitable and is absolutly CPU only, so break out your i7’s and let them mine some VRM.

https://portal.vericoin.info/

There is an active community, with the developers at Slack: https://vericoinandverium.slack.com

The coin can be traded on https://bittrex.com/ And is worth around $3,-

Vericoin is linked  to this and that has a staking wallet, very nice 👍

Try it, there are multiple pools and miners for windows, linux and osx.

Read up on it, give it a chance, around 10Kh/m get’s you one VRM a day :-)

*update 15-12-2017
I’m adding some pool sites to this post for verium, with their respective admins on slack, should you need help.

What hashrate is supposed to be on i5/i7? And what is the profit for them?

Doesn't look worth it:

@Bullvied yes there is a miner in the wallet. However, when mining in a pool, you might want to use the miner the miningpool recommends. They all use the same miner. I myself use the miner from effectocause, all the options are mentioned at the pools.

@abudfv2008 an i5/i7 can be productive or power efficient in that matter. An i7 can reach around 2500 h/m, that will get you 1/4 of a coin, sort of in a pool.
But it depends all on if it is a laptop i7 of a pc. Also the generation of the CPU is important, with the instructions sets it has. The miners use the advantage of AES, AVX and AVX2

With CPU cores you can be able to mine the cheap coins but those coins will be profitable because of that price value in the chart. You can mine using minergate to mine with the 4 or 8 cores but choose accordingly. It may be slow down computer's other tasks run in your task manager. Best mining with the computer is GPU mining only because it will give a decent profit if you mine it with the multiple GPU cards.
Mining with the windows platform might crashed in the time of power cut but linux will not be crashed at any time.

But GPU mining is noisy ... ;-(
Love the silent of CPU mining with the Verium wallet ! The best One-Click mining wallet , you can easily choose the number of mining CPU-Core .

( Many months without crash under windows 10 )

Enjoy

The idea is, is that you do not mine coins with a CPU that are mineable with a GPU. Verium is NOT mineable with a GPU, therefor, this is ideal for people that don't have Big rigs with 1060's but with a gaming PC with a nice i5 or i7 in it. Smiley

True, but this coin has a small value to it and is being traded with small volumes. Verium has a bigger potential right now and is very well mineable

actually I do not see many difference between Cryptonight algo - like monero, etn and this verium?
I mean in terms of money the cpu bring you when mining
so it there something special about verium why do I need to change? ))

The difference is Cryptonight and Scrypt2.....it's a different algo, memory intensive and all the tech stuff that you could ask on the slack channel, posted above.
Also, when a coin is GPU minable, the CPU become less effective in comparison......Verium can't be mined with a GPU....so the plain is even

The fact is correct about mining becoming less profitable when it is possible to mine a coin using gpu along with cpu. So, cpu mining will be around but I don't think it will superseed gpu mining opponents.

Well, you have to start somewhere and getting this ball rolling, is interesting. Because who says it can't have potential Smiley
Plus I know there are a lot of miners out there that are sweating their (redacted) off with GPU mining, while most CPU's are just almost idle....I smell potential haha

I bought myself a server with four CPU just for CPU mining.
Right now I am mining Credits which has OK profitability with CPU only mining.
Other options I have looked at is Yenten, Aeon and Verium.
There are also some cryptonight coins (good for both GPU and CPU).

You ca mine with CPU and GPU simultaneously and you still need a CPU to run GPU so why not mine with the CPU too?

i suggest you mine Electroneum with ur CPU. Thats what im doing Smiley Not getting much but my computer is always on anyway so might aswell Cheesy 10 ETN / day. I think value will increase in the future.

If electroneum is minable you can mine with your computer but if you play with the loss and the cputer lagging with the CPU cores. We can mine the some cheap coins with the minergate and with the hllelp of your computer and GPU you have added to it too.
So avoid the CPU Mining and if you ready to invest your fund in the mining with the graphic cards means it is profitable now also.

Do you think it's easy to set up CPU mining on a GPU mining rig ? Or do you think the CPU mining running at the same time will decrease the overall efficiency of the GPU mining ?

Would you have a software to suggest to mine ETN ?  Grin

Seems like there are many coins which are CPU mineable only, which are decentralised in a good way!

Any list available to find all the new CPU mineable coins?? any channels/groups sharing this info across??

Also any upcoming less difficulty coins which are mineable by GPU??
