Dumb question - what advantage does a CPU coin offer over a GPU or ACIS coin? Why would someone mine a CPU in preference?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

my guess is your average mum or dad and use any pc to get a cryptocoin and not need to invest in high end video cards / rigs to get them. So its open to everyone that doesn't have a gaming rig with the latest ati card. but then they are competing against not only botnets but sysadmins that can throw their idle resources at it. By the time these coin get mainstream its already gone or too hard to compete. So the only advantage i would see is for those that cant afford ATI cards or ASICs. |

hi,
may i mention OFFERINGS, they have been out for 6 month you can use all of the miners for quark pretty easy, and it has not been plundered yet so you can still mine and get some, or use the pools and get more.

OFF has been on the list. Dumb question - what advantage does a CPU coin offer over a GPU or ACIS coin? Why would someone mine a CPU in preference?
I recently put an 8-core CPU in my main computer and wanted to give it something to do that was profitable. I could have it churn away at BTC or LTC. But what value would the CPU add to what I am already GPU mining? Nothing. BUT, that same CPU could mine something of value if it was only competing with other CPUs. I looked for a list to figure out what I wanted to mine but didn't find one. So I created this list. I will probably make some kind of profitability calculator but don't know when. |

You did something wrong. I am mining with my slowest computer and still get shares on ypool. |

CPU only -> GPU does not have large advantage over CPU? Then Momentum PoW, Prime PoW are CPU-only, others are not
Also YaCoin's algo might be too hard for GPUs come the next N-factor increase

Apparently there are GPU miners for these coins now |

It is also 8% premined. I am going to add it as one to avoid. CPU only -> GPU does not have large advantage over CPU? Then Momentum PoW, Prime PoW are CPU-only, others are not
No. Generally ASIC>FPGA>GPU>CPU This list is for people that want to mine but only have their CPUs. The coins on this list will give them a chance to do that and get a few coins. Apparently there are GPU miners for these coins now I will check and update as necessary. |

Add MMC to limited GPU too, since there is a pool that uses a GPU miner now.
PTS GPU miner is in the wild and hasn't been release publicly.

Any computer can mine CPU. You shouldn't mine for long on a laptop unless you want to kill it. They are not designed to take the constant heat generate by running the CPU at 100% for long periods of time. Test the speed of mining? Just start mining. If you want to compare two CPUs without mining, look at http://www.cpubenchmark.net/. Higher score will usually mean better mining. |

I mine on 2 threads though when i work. 4 threads when i sleep. I have it a bit high so air can go and cool it easier. Laptop is half the temperature than when i play battlefield 3. So i dont think there will be a problem. Its 2.5 years old laptop anyway. btw protoshare and memorycoin i think should be in the list with quarks as of now. |

I am caught up with changes for now. UPDATES - Added Unioncoin to list - Added Dimecoin to high risk list - Added websites for all coins that have one - Added section for coins removed from list - Moved Memorycoin to removed section - Moved Protoshares to limited GPU section - Moved coins with marketcap values to top of list - Added donation address to sig TODO - Add FAQ |

You should move all the Quark algorithm coins to the Limited GPU list.
Also do you know about SIFcoin, ancestor of Quark?

Add particle. It is good because it is not premined and it quark based. |

Hard to understand that you are saying PTS is GPU miner rumored to be out. Checked through PTS thread, can't find any information of GPU mining. Please update more details, would like see how to GPU mine. Thanks.
