You can mine the following coins with your CPU/LAPTOP :
XMR (monero)
BCN (bytecoin)
FCN (fantomcoin)
XDN (digitalnote)
You can also mine Ethereum, AEON, DASH and Quazarcoin, but i dont think they will give you any profit.
The above coins may also not give you any profit depending on your CPU.

Try Monero; you can even use Nicehash for it, so it's super easy as well as being the biggest CPU centric coin by a long shot. Also, AEON is very profitable right now and BitSend is a good CPU coin that I think has a nice future ahead of it. There are other coins that can be mined with CPU, but those are the only 3 I have tried that I liked for CPU mining myself.
Any suggestions what to mine on a pair of XEON's E5-2699V4? (No Cinebench, please!)
well, I have like 25 old-ish celeron cpus.. and pretty much free electricity.. could I take a shot a XMR? I'm already mining ETH and going to start mining ETC on 2 GPU rigs.. but I got those CPUs laying around with nothing to do..
Which coin would you recommend for i7 4790k? I have a noctua cooler so I can overclock my cpu if needed. I'm also running gpu mining on this system.
Core Processor AMD Ryzen 7 1800X: 8, Thermal Design: 95W, Clock Speed: 3.6GHz, Processor Socket: Cache AM4: 20.8MB 
Aeon is good for cpu mining. Especially when you use multiple computers. Make sure you use linux as you'll get a five times better hashrate for some reason. I would warn against using the minergate program, it is easy to set up, and the hashrate isn't too much less but good luck getting a withdrawl from them. I had mined a bit with minergate and still waiting for a withdrawl for 2 months.
You might also check out Nexus. CPU mining is not that profitable anymore but can be done, and the price of Nexus is expected to rise.

Probably monero... Which CPU you have?
acer aspire 5742z 2gb ram pentium dual core 2.6ghz processor Myriad Coin - using the Yescrypt algo is good for cpu right now. I mostly trade to make profits but mine myriad to make up for any loses, if any, i would have in a day. I switch between Aeon and Myriad using two laptops and two tablets with free electricity and can make some good coin.
You can also try Coin Magi, but recently i found it not to be as profitable.
Zcoin - is another coin that is mine-able with cpu. I used to mine this coin about 6 months ago and would get killer profits from it. It is now getting taken over by GPU miners but it can still be mined on CPU.
BitSend - Uses Xevan algo. Isn't as profitable as Aeon or Myriad but can still be mined on a CPU.
Aeon - Uses Cryptonight-light which is faster than the regular cryptonight algo. I like mining Aeon because it seems to never slow down or get taken over by GPU miners. It is always a consistent profit.
GlobalBoostY - another yescrypt coin but i have recently seen a falling out from the community with this coin.
Hope this helps.

Hi YaYMiner, what CPU are we talking about here?
I get about 115 AEON hashes.... when i use Minergate ....
will i be useless at those coins u mention above ?
VeriumReserve (VRM) is a decent CPU-only mining coin you might want to take a look at. I've been mining it the last couple of weeks. There is a pool and client downloads at http://vrm.poolinat0r.com.
Will i make anything if i used my AMD X4 860k, i get about 115 hashes on AEON.... using Minergate.
Please tell me, if for VRM i can actually make profit ?
Thank you

CPU mining - three approaches:
1. CPU mine a coin the first few week of its existence if no GPU miner exists to mine it. Get in early is key. Monitor the ANN-section for any new coins and consider mining those just launched.
2. If you believe that a coin will go to the moon within the next few months/year then you can mine it with cpu.
3. Find a coin that is cpu-mineable only - like XMG (Magi) - and mine it.
If I were to start cpu mining now, I would mine XMR or BCN with xmr-stak-cpu miner in Linux (with huge pages enabled - this keeps my cpus warm during winter :-)).

Solo-mining low-value, low-difficulty altcoins on an i7... likely to get any coins?
I'd be hoping that if I keep switching and holding on to as many coins as possible, one might take off in value.
Stupid or not?

Isn't mining counterproductive both with cpu and gpu? I've noticed sometimes that GPU's hashrate decrease if CPU is mining.
It depends primarily on what OS you are using. If you using windows it will never be a good idea. On linux, depending on how many cores and what intensity you are using; and the gpu mining client you are using, it is sometimes ok. Granted the resulting hashrate from cpu mining as such is nothing like that from all out cpu mining.
I have started cpu mining XMR on my 6x rigs while the GPUs mine ZEC. 
Can you say the components and the hash rate? H81 pro btc R2.0 mobo
G1840 cpu
6x zotac 1070 mini
8gb corsair ram
EVGA GQ-1000 psu
16gb USB key https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-JumpDrive-16GB-Flash-Drive/dp/B00S5V5PMY
29.1 H/s 6 hour average XMR @ nanopool ( at current rates with 10c kwh electric the cpu will generate $16 profit a year, and roi on its own in ~3 years ) Note cpu mining hashrate is all over the place (less frequent shares); so it takes a while to get a good idea of a cpu's average hashrate.
2655.4 Sol/s 6 hour average ZEC @ nanopool ( all 6x cards cc200, mc400, powerlimit 125 on nvOC )
using 880 watts at the wall
Currently only running +cpu on a few of my rigs, but all have been stable for over 24 hours; so I will deploy +cpu mining on all my rigs tonight / tomorrow. I have an i3 on the way to test as well.
If all my rigs are stable with +cpu mining I will add it as an option to the next version of nvOC. Also looking for alternative cpu mined coins to try; if anyone has any recommendations.

Hi,
ist there a coin profitable to mine with cpu?
Thanks

i can give you soem coins which are profitable with cpu, but you need many cpu ro cpu rig to mien them with good return, these coins are magi verium, zoin and monero, all the other are not cpu friendly, but be aware of botnet that are plague for this coins and quickly ruin your profit
What's the difference between CPU and GPU mining? I thought it was just ASIC and CPU mining..
