BiblePay (BBP) is a CPU mining only coin! Just launched a few months ago!

I don't know but the name "BiblePay" seems a bit off.
Sure will gather the religious, but will surely piss off most of them (intellectual ones).

Problem is these coins are infested with botnets mining on them making mining not very profitable in most cases. You'll make some coin but not as much as with GPU mining. Viruses and a couple hundred or thousand ARM /x86 processors hashing away easily beats out any single cpu.

This happens quite a lot with profitable coins, even with bitcoin.
The most remarkable one is Monero which has an unaffiliated "anti-advertising" API that was readily available for website developers.
That however became an easy resource for Hackers to exploit background mining.

Bitcoin FTW!

Yes they do exist! BiblePay White Paper: http://pool.biblepay.org/Docs/BiblePay_White_Paper.pdf
The lead dev has also added a reward if anyone can break the ASIC Resistance of the Proof of BibleHash (POBh) algorithm

Yenten is cpu only and asics resistant. Gpu mining is slower.
This is bitcoin for everybody

I think you can use cpu for mine Cryptonote algorithm
But it is not good
Cpu only got low hashrate than GPU, so its useless

What exactly makes a crpyto mineable by CPU only?

Just nonpopularity of the coin makes it CPU-only. Of course there are some algos where GPU superiority is not so high in comparision with CPU (like Cryptonight). Now there is no any highcap coin with CPU-only. As soon the coin is become enough famous the smart people appears and create GPU-miner. Zcash a year ago is bright example.

Most new algorithms start off as CPU only (including BTC), until it becomes profitable enough to make it feasible for someone to take the time to develop a GPU miner for it.

Credits(CRDS) is truly CPU only using Argon2d algorithm. Requires a 64-bit OS though. https://crds.co

m7m algo is one... Magi :

http://www.m-core.org/

magi is also a GPU coin, nothing in the algo itself has anything CPU specific.
the DIFFICULTY of magi is coded tho to reduce blockreward as more hash is thrown at it, so its worthless to gpu mine even tho possible

ROIcoin is a cpu only coin, theres a few but thats the only live one i can think of haha , and its barely alive

the REASON is simple: cheap cloud credits make for easy CPU botnets , so the coins struggle to hold value :/

The main difference between CPU's and GPU cores is how they process tasks. You can make an algorithm that's optimized for the sequential processing that CPU's use, but there is nothing that prevents GPU's from developing to do the processing in a parallel.

A good list of CPU coins here, I couldn't tell you if any of them are CPU only though.

Is there such thing as a CPU only mineable coin?

If so can you provide some names of coins that are truly CPU mineable?
