CNOTE is CPU minable.  Didnt see it on the list.  Its even trading on Poloniex now.

UPDATES
- Update to do list
- Added Riecoin to CPU only category.
- Moved Darkcoin to limited GPU category.

It has been on the list for a while.

I'd love to see a profit-switching pool coming up for them. Or, even better, multipool could add a third mode for cpu-coins. I know it's not that easy, but one could start with quark-alg coins first.

usually they make them cpu only in teh hopes of avoiding you and your multi-pools lol

The link for siriuscoin is wrong

UPDATES
- Fixed Siriuscoin link.
- Removed Worldo. It has not been released.

you can update main page for Vertcoin..
VTC was added to cryptsy quite a while back now..

and maybe add a not that most of these allegedly CPU only coins are widely believed to have private GPU miners.
for example if the guy who made smelter can take open source gpl code and add in support for gpus
and then add restrictions forcing you to solo mine only AND to force you to give him a percentage of all your earnings,
breaking the GPL license lol ..then you got to admit it's likely there is many mods for cudaminer and cgminer floating around
probably since Securecoin / Quark's release.. i know i have worked on a bunch since myself and quit out of laziness pretty much.

good topic idea though and gj

I believe that it is very hard to mine XPM and PTS with GPU. It is not impossible but not valuable to mine with GPU. As I know, there is GPU miner for XPM, but, it is even slower than CPU. There are two obstacles for GPU mining for these two coins:1 coding efforts, many hard work needed to move to GPU; 2 efficiency or optimization, a valuable GPU miner should be much faster than CPU. Even for the Quark miner, Smelter, it is not very fast over CPU.

metacoin!

Anyone have any thoughts on which of these is the most profitable right now?

qubit has big potential with new algo (qubit algo).

Of those the only serious and innovative are Primecoin, Datacoin and Protoshares...

In May of 2013, YACoin introduced the Nfactor of scrypt-jane (https://github.com/floodyberry/scrypt-jane) to the cryptocurrency world  and was also the first to use SHA-3/Keccak-512 for hashing and ChaCha20/8 for mixing.

I can't speak for the other coins, but I'm sure there are some that are also innovative.

can I lock a cpu mining to a specific type of processor ? for instance ARM architecture ? how emulators could be used to avoid it ?

I know they probably exist but they are still private. What if I said that these coins are still profitable when CPU mined?

[tygarbyte]

not sure, dougcoin

based off quark apparently with *Kimoto Gravity Well
