I found that GPU mining is very power consuming and costs a lot....welll CPU mining isn’t :-)
Mining VERIUM, is profitable and is absolutly CPU only, so break out your i7’s and let them mine some VRM.

There is an active community, with the developers at Slack: https://vericoinandverium.slack.com
The coin can be traded on https://bittrex.com/ And is worth around $3,-
Vericoin is linked to this and that has a staking wallet, very nice 👍
Try it, there are multiple pools and miners for windows, linux and osx.
Read up on it, give it a chance, around 10Kh/m get’s you one VRM a day :-)
With CPU cores you can be able to mine the cheap coins but those coins will be profitable because of that price value in the chart. You can mine using minergate to mine with the 4 or 8 cores but choose accordingly. It may be slow down computer's other tasks run in your task manager. Best mining with the computer is GPU mining only because it will give a decent profit if you mine it with the multiple GPU cards.
Mining with the windows platform might crashed in the time of power cut but linux will not be crashed at any time.
The idea is, is that you do not mine coins with a CPU that are mineable with a GPU. Verium is NOT mineable with a GPU, therefor, this is ideal for people that don't have Big rigs with 1060's but with a gaming PC with a nice i5 or i7 in it.
