Two Xeon E5 2667 V3 mining Monero using 30 threads of 32.

Those two threads not used by the cpu miner are used by the gpu miner for two RX 480's'

The gpu's from the same pc, the one that is my daily use pc that I am using to type this, here is the comparison.

HASHRATE REPORT
| ID |   10s |   60s |   15m | ID |   10s |   60s |   15m |
|  0 | 573.9 | 573.2 | 570.9 |  1 | 578.9 | 579.1 | 579.1 |
-----------------------------------------------------
Totals:   1152.7 1152.2 1149.9 H/s
Highest:  1159.0 H/s

So the dual xeons have a tiny bit better performance than the two RX480's and using less wattage.

So yes I am interested. LOL

ZCoin will fork a new algo in soon that is a modified version of Argon2 with MTP. It will not be CPU exclusive but CPU's will run it quite well

Time to mine is not the issue. The huge problem is needing 128MB just to verify a proof-of-work.
Proof verification is supposed to be very cheap, so this makes for a horrible PoW...

I think it is possible to mine a PoW coin with 200-300 old LapTops if GPU-miners and Pools are excluded.

and verium is bad. it takes a long time to mine and the amount you get per block is tiny. Not really worth it from my 1 day experience

I wonder how many would be interested in a coin that focuses on CPU-mining? I think that it is possible to clone an existing coin and change it so the GPU and Pool-mining is not profitable. It obviously requires some tests and experiments. But it must be possible.

Verium is not a currency. It's a mineable reserve for vericoin. As you said "1 day experience": go back and study the protocol Wink
