I'm interesting in CPU-mining for several reasons.
Are there some living alt's with cpu-mining? something like top-20 or top-40 market cup.
I'm just want to find something for myself.

Thank you.

yes but not for long... may-be shinycoin will stay cpu only for a very long time with its 16gb memory requirement... for the rest, they will sooner or later become gpu (or else) coin.

Come and try mining XMR at http://cryptonotepool.org.uk or at least read our info page for some pointers - its a CryptoNote based coin so there are some fundamental differences to mining Bitcoin derivatives.

Its debatable whether the algo still really favours CPUs, the latest GPU miners are getting pretty efficient, but if you have access to a number of good CPUs then it can be profitable - at least 3x more than other alt-algos.

If you need any help getting setup feel free to contact me directly

Look here, man:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7680388

It's some about cpu-only too, how i can see

And here:

Why do you think that cpu mining is pretty?

CPU-mining looks like recycled investment. ASIC miner's unuseful without bitcoins. CPU - nope. The whole infrastructure around miners hardware looks ugly for me. single-purpose hardware is bad. it's my point. multiply that by increasing difficulty of the block and you got unuseful expensive hardware with falling by 15% profit every 12 days

am i right?

Primecoin, enjoy. I mined it for a cpl months with my CPU, FX-8210 AMD. I bought ASIC's now and just mine BTC and PPC.
