Hi guys, I was just wondering if anybody here is mining a CPU only altcoin. I have 6 hours of downtime at work each day and then it suddenly came to me, I could be mining coins during this time at work! Sure it may not be worth much, but I really enjoy mining and I always bring my laptop with me and use a VPN at work. Ever since the asic days of Scrypt my mining days are over... I want to get back in the swing of things with CPU only coins!

Coin of the Magi (XMG) might be a good one There are others out there which are doing pretty well for CPU (Monero e.g.), but I have no idea about their current position in the cryptoworld ^^

Coin of the Magi is the best option imo, especially for low powered devices.

Guys, you are great, usually I'm the first one who mentions Magi in such kind of threads Thanks for recommending Magi. Indeed, Magi is a very good choice for CPU mining. With a special miner software, you can even use your notebook to mine. Please say hello in our thread and ask if you have any questions. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735170.0

Yes and no. Magi has a block reward that depends on the total hashrate. The long-term goal is, that even a simple home computer is able get a good amount of coins. Unfortunately there are some miners with big hashrate who press the block reward to the bottom. But that shouldn't be a reason to avoid Magi. Please have a look at these statements from the developer, to get an idea of the Magi concept. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735170.msg10202473#msg10202473https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=735170.msg10201766#msg10201766If you are looking for instant profit, go with another coin. If you believe in this concept, love the idea and support this term long-term, start mining (even with lower block rewards). There's still some work to reach the goals, but we're working hard and there is an active development for this coin.

If there is no current pump or you mine a brand new coin, ALL coin prices are down. Did you hear that BTC, LTC and nearly all other coins crashed down? Mining is not only making quick profit. If you believe in a coin, you will make long-term profit. Did you stop mining BTC for example, when the rate went down from $1200? Magi is a long-term project, not a pump and dump coin that will die after the dev made his profits. Read the ANN thread and get an idea of the concept.

I've also translated it. You missed that ) Right now, by chance, I mine Magi. Still... if I believe in a coin, I don't necessarely mine it. Sometimes I mine something easier to mine and buy what I want to keep.

From my tests there is at least one cryptonote coin that is more profitable to mine than Magi. But not for long, it seems.... But you know, all depends on the price and the difficulty.

Magi is currently a good choice for CPU mining imho. ... Slimcoin is perhaps very underrated in terms of its importance in innovation in crypto currency. Slimcoin has the first known working implementation of PoB (Proof-of-Burn) block generation. It also utilizes the unique Dcrypt PoW algorithm which was designed for CPU mining and to be ASIC resistant. The latest version of Slimcoin is available here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613213.msg9227084#msg9227084The Slimcoin whitepaper also makes for a very interesting read: https://slimcoin.org/images/downloads/slimcoin_whitepaper.pdfAlthough an experimental GPU miner does now exist for Slimcoin, very few people are currently mining, so it is therefore possible to find some blocks with CPU. You can mine in the wallet using: setgenerate true numberofcores via help Tab > Debug window > Console Tab. Slimcoin is also listed on Bter exchange. ... Gapcoin is a very interesting CPU mineable coin, although a GPU miner does now exist. http://gapcoin.org/ and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=822498.0Gapcoin is the largest know, decentralized search for Prime Gaps.
