List of CPU Friendly AltCoins

[TulipBit]

I just want to inform you that now qubitcoin - QBIT is exchanged on: https://poloniex.com/exchange

[spadespade]

Another CPU coin, ChainCoin. It is very hard to mine this coin.

...Since Primecoin is compute bound it is surely not FPGA and ASIC-resistant...

But none of these on your list are going to be ASICs resistant if ever they have a large enough market cap to justify the development costs.

You do not seem to be addressing that fact?

Or is your list merely a "CPU only for now, and the future I don't care about"?

If yes, please clarify in the OP.

I could add something to the FAQ. How would you word it?

"with current technology"

I prefer "It is unknown if any of these coins will be resistant to ASICs when their market caps grow sufficiently to justify the development costs of an ASIC design".

As evidence, Litecoin now has ASICs under development since its market cap jumped significantly recently.

I understand the technology very well, and no coin which is compute bound will be ASICs resistant. So none yet on your list will be. But since I haven't written a white paper to explain and prove that, I would suggest you use the word "unknown" instead, yet with the strong implication that the ASICs resistance isn't really challenged until the market cap grows sufficiently to justify ASIC development costs.

Please do not remove any CPU coin of the list if it become minable with GPU.

Just say that it can also be mined with GPU.

Thank you. Best list ever.

why not? Thats the purpose of this thread. Or you could just add all coins that exist here...

No, when a CPU coin become minable with a GPU it doesn't mean that it is efficient. Very often it is still better to use CPU than GPU.

Thanks for the update on YAC.  It looks like your thread is getting a lot of view - I know I've passed it on to several of my friends.  (Read 11277 times)

Has anyone made an attempt to making a 'CPU mining profitability' calculator?  There are a lot of good ones for SHA-256 and Scrypt mining, but there really isn't a way to tell which 'CPU Coin' is the most profitable.  Any sites out there or anyone tinkering a a google spreadsheet?

Thanks to all those that like list. If anyone wants to donate to my beer fund, lmk!!

I have not and will not remove any coins. If/when necessary, I will create new section.

great list. I was actually looking for that kind of list to make sure I saw all of them

[krecu]

Please update information about Q2C (qbit) coin

[bitbox]

AnimeCoin seems to be a CPU coin - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=423339.0

Fairquark too

[travel-trousers]

What measures can coin creators use to ensure their clients can't be used on a botnet... other than restricting them to iphones :p

There is one calculator for MemoryCoin :

MINIcoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=429105.0

[spadespade]

Again, another CPU coin, net2, based on quark. Fair launch and with long time of half rewards.
The wallet looks pretty nice, with showing real-time total coins and network hash rates -- really very nice!

Awesome list
but Frozen (FZ) should be under limited GPU as it can also be mined with smelter.
