There might be some altcoins that can still profitably CPU/GPU mined and traded for Bitcoin thereafter, but I am not sure even they are worth when you factor in time investment.

Few days ago, I've tried to mine VTC with my CPU Core i7 through a P2pool. The fan had a hard day though, but the result is very little, just less than 0.02VTC {less than 2 cents} for a full day.

It's truly not worth it, to be honest.

But in my case, I just want to confirm the PoW, to make sure the coin I have in my bag worth the fiat I used to buy them. It's worth, really.

you can keep mining and collecting some coins on the long run , but its never going to generate any profit Smiley

You cannot make profit from CPU mining in the short run but you can use CPU mining to mine BCN(Bytecoin) which is performing well and your electricity cost will not be big because the i3 4150 CPU only consumes about 55-65 watt. You can mine BCN directly through the official wallet.

Unfortunately no. You can mine with CPU at the same time as your GPU for some added revenue, but CPU mining solo cant even cover the electricity cost... because most coins are optimized for GPU or ASIC mining... hope this helps (you can also test for yourself and find ouit the answer Tongue)
