For fun, I started mining XTL on a very old computer (Phenom II X4 945 - 3.0Ghz) and I get an average of 50 H/s with xmrig, which gets me nowhere near the 700 tokens per day that you said you get at 100-150 H/s. I use the community pool and so far I mined about 50 XTL. Is there something I am missing?
Unfortunately the difficulty of Stellite (XTL) has increased since my last update. You will get 270 XTL/day with 150 h/s  Updated the the OP with this info. Be sure to check here from time to time, I normally announce the updates in a post. You should be getting about 80 XTL/day with that hash rate.
I've also updated the rest of the coins in the list, for most of them the difficulty has increased, unfortunately. QWC has its main pool in maintenance right now so, the network hash rate has dropped significantly and you can get up to 315,000 QWC per day, now!  You can use this alternate pool to mine it: qwcpool.partyvibe.com |

How are most of these coins holding up to the new CryptoNight ASICs that has been hitting the market? Unless they fork (as Monero) mining with a CPU should give negative value since the difficulty should skyrocket?
You can find a good list of the CryptoNight coins that forked here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3129218.0 I would suggest mining the ones which forked but until now, I haven't see a major increase in difficulty for the coins I have listed here. Probably because they're still not worth much so, they aren't targeted by ASICs Your work is really been appreciated and I do hope that you won't get tired updating this thread. Actually, I was thinking of creating the same post but due to my busy schedule, I just couldn't find the time. Anyways, just keep it up!
Thanks for the kind words BTC tips or merits are greatly appreciated  Don't be shy in clicking the +Merit link. ...
I will make your thread as a reference for my mining guide as most of the coins that I target were mostly Cryptonight, let me find my time to do this as I'm still full of errands to do.
....
Once I got into it, I will definitely come back on this thread and will share stuffs that can support your guide.
That sounds good Feel free to reference it and come back and share your findings. |

You can use this alternate pool to mine it: qwcpool.partyvibe.comThanks a lot for your help I needed to set the variant to 1 to make it work with Cryptonight. Could I use Cryptonight-Lite to mine XTL and get better results? I was not able to make it work and I don't know why. |

This one looks compatible, do you have more details for it? Like a pool you've been using? An announcement thread? Thanks a lot for your help I needed to set the variant to 1 to make it work with Cryptonight. Could I use Cryptonight-Lite to mine XTL and get better results? I was not able to make it work and I don't know why. You're welcome It doesn't work that way, it's a different algorithm. You need to use the algorithm supported by the coin. I see Stellite has forked to increase ASIC resistance, you will need to get the latest version of XMRig that supports CryptoNight V7 (the new CN algo for the forked coins). I assume the configuration is the same. Let me know if you have issues with it. |

Thanks for the update! I have looked into this new coin and it looks promising They're still very new but there is a lot of hype around this coin, which is good. I have add it to the main post of this thread, you can get up to 20 token/day with 150 h/s Happy mining |

Turtlecoin forked and changed to CryptoNightLiteV1 algorithm
Its wildly increased the h/s, i'm now averaging 650h/s but by the looks of things the value has dipped

This one looks good I've looked a bit into it and it seems it's attracted some attention and it may be a successful coin later on. Thanks for mentioning it here! I've added it to the main post in this thread, you will get about 2000 tokens/day with a hash rate of 150 h/s. |

I had a problem with my h/s dropping and remembered Id read something along my travels that increasing the size of the windows page file would help.
From what I remember it said that your virtual memory should match that of your physical memory, so as the machine I cpu mine on has 8gb ram, I
increased the page file minium too 8000mb and max to 16000mb and i got my h/s back to full speed.
The above my be helpful but someone more experienced could maybe explain better

If you use xmrig you don't really need to care about this. By default it will try to use large page files but sometimes for this setting to take effect you need to restart your machine. When you start xmrig it will say at the beginning if large page files are enabled or disabled. Usually a limiting factor in the hash rate is the amount of L3 cache that you have it's not the page file size. |

The drop in h/s was on both xmrig and xmr-stack and huge pages has always been enabled ever since id used this particular pc to cpu mine Ive tried to find the post/article id originally read but I cant find it, I know it it wasn't on here, but if i do find it i'll defo post it All i can say is what I had done above, fixed my problem and in fact it slightly increased my max h/s on xmrig by 5  lol |

That's kind of negligible if you ask me. You could have had something else running in your system tray that gobbles up CPU resources and you might just did not notice it. |

Jeezz, I'll start again,
When I originally posted I didnt want to post every little thing id done or checked to clog the thread up but I guess I have too !
My post was a quick summary of what id changed to fix my problem, nothing more nothing less. So I do sincerely apologize for not providing every little single piece of information !
My h/s dropped by at least 70h/s from a normal average of 185-195 h/s dependent on which miner I used, be that xmrig or xmr-stak, a normal max around 200-202 on stak
There was no reason for this, nothing had changed on the pc, no hardware changes, no softwares change's, nothing running in the background like windows update !
And yes i'm more than aware that even opening a browser can drop your h/s but thanks sooo much for pointing that out !
So I rebooted, restarted a miner, still the same.
Stopped the miner
Swapped pools
Swapped miners
Nope problem still the same.
Checked internet speed, no problems
Ran a memory test.
Rebooted still the same
Ran IntelProcessor Diagnostic Tool
No problems found.
So then I remebered something id read, so I thought what the hell its worth a shot,
So I changed the page files settings from the windows defaults (just to be clear, as per the above post) rebooted once more and started the miner once more and
guess what, it only went and worked. And to add to my surprise the max speed went up by 5 to 207, woohoooo !
So to state again increasing the page file size worked for what ever caused the problem I had in the first place.
Ive probabily missed something that id checked and I know I havent gone in depth on how to change the page file
size but if you feel the need to try im sure google will help you out with that

Ok, now this make more sense You didn't mention what was your previous drop other than it was up by 5 h/s. Thanks for bringing more clarity to this. You don't need to be worried on getting this thread clogged up, it's here to help people. More details the better. I've also checked my page file size but for some reason it always was more that what windows recommends. Although I might have modified it in the past for something else.  |

Loki coin started last thursday. It's had a lot of publicity and there's loads of pools so the network hash is 25-30MH Original Announcement: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3016125.0It uses the algo cryptonight heavy I use the pool: https://loki.miner.rocks/# but if you're less bothered about a quick profit, use an alternate. Currently 1KH/s/day = 3.04 LOKI / $4.67 |

Indeed it looks good. Thanks for suggesting it, I've added to the first post of this thread. With a hash rate of about 150 h/s in cryptonight heavy you will get about 0.4 LOKI per day. That's not bad at all and it seems 1 LOKI is currently valued at about $1.4. |
