List of CPU Friendly AltCoins

[tygarbyte]

Currently mining GRS but I was mining DTC before and I was making more profit than GRS now.
I have pretty bad CPU's: 1x Athlon II X4 615e & 1x Celeron 430 (i also mine a little on a VPS).


I was making something like 0.01 BTC every 1,5 weeks.
Now I am mining GRS and haven't made 0.0001 yet in 5 days.
If you have an i7 DTC profitably might be a different story. I read somewhere that MemoryCoin is supposed to be great to mine if you have powerful CPU.

I'm thinking about switching to Riecoin next.
What are you guys mining and what have you found out to be the most profitable?

try dougcoin, not that many ppl mining it.

How come datacoin doesn't have a GPU miner yet? Isn't it based on primecoin?

[..] Datacoin is almost dead, so there is not a big rush to make a miner.

Interesting. Can you tell me why it's almost dead? When it will be dead completely? Or maybe it will reborn?
I'm asking seriously - have started mining it based on your list. Reason: no public GPU miners and can be traded at beer.

That is my opinion. There are several reasons I think that.

-First and foremost, no one has taken the time to publicly post a GPU miner. A coder could release binaries only with a small dev fee and make some coin simlar to what Claymore did with Primecoin
-There have been no code updates since Nov 2013.
-The original poster for the announcement thread has not posted since Jan 2014.
-The DTC twitter account has been quiet since March 19
-The DTC thread is very quiet.
-Trade volume is very low on all exchanges
-Market cap has been sliding for months.

Thx!

In fact, the Claymore miner works on one DTC mining pool (http://dtc.xpool.xram.co/).

I pulled MMC from the list a few days ago. There is no dev and it still uses KGW. KGW can be exploited.

I have not personally mined Riecoin, but it is a solid coin.

Here is what I do
- Mine coins at launch. Mine them for a few days until difficulty gets high. Wait for price increase and sell.
- Do some research and find a coin you think has a future. Mine that at all other times. My current choice is Darkcoin.

I feel that potential exploitability should be left out of consideration for what CPU-coins to list.

PS: please update the Cuckoo Cycle synopsis as follows, to reflect recent implementation improvements:

Code:

This PoW requires finding a 42-cycle in a huge graph
whose edges are generated by the siphash-2-4 hash function.
The amount of memory needed (with no known practical trade-off for time)
is configurable from a few KB to several GB, while remaining instantly verifiable.
67% of run time is spent waiting for memory latency,
making this an extremely low-power and GPU unfriendly algorithm.

I looked for info about this on the forum yesterday with no luck. I will pull it from the list today.

Hirocoin is great.thx for you make a list.

KGW is also an indicator that the coin has no active developer. Coins with an active developer replaced KGW shortly after the AUR mess.

Hi!
btc-mike, what is your opinion about Monero?
It looks very very very interesting and and I'm in. But I would like to know the guru point of view ;-)
Will it be the new Bytecoin (as I would like to think) or maybe its future is very hard to predict?
Thx!

[btc-mike]

sha1coin and yaycoin

english links?

Bytecoin is interesting but it was mined for 2 years by the "dev team". The team itself still remains in hiding. I am not getting involved with it.

Monero was rushed. TFT is doing what he wants to do. There was lots of input pre-launch but he ignored most of it and continues to.

I like CryptoNote technology. I am waiting for a new coin to be released using it that has a community.

[SherdonIke]

 It would be interesting to see which of them are profitable. I haven't ever heard about most of them!

[trustnobody]

I'm interested about CPU friendly altCoins using X11 algorithm. Which is most profitable? I paid attention on DarkCoin as a lite version of Bitcoin using X11 as a proof-of-work algorithm.

X11 is not the most profitable algo for CPUs atm. Cryptonight is.

The correct name is CryptoNote.

Do you have numbers?

I'll look into those coins! Cool for distribution to be CPU mined. After hearing more and more about these abusive ASIC manufacturers, I'm moving away from that scene

It is really nice to see that even btc-mike makes mistakes :-D
Sorry, just kidding.

Thank you for your opinion about Monero. As usual - very accurate and very useful for me.

[hakertajniak]

Which CPU-mineable coin is most profitable right now? I'm mining GRS but I keep them bcs selling in this price is not good idea...
