there was another boinc based coin kicking around a well. Gridcoin or something like that I think.

then dime, and hopes the value rises

Hotcoin is the youngest coin - Worth mining now whilst the difficulty is down! http://www.speedminers.com/hotcoin
That's scrypt dude. He's asking for CPU-mining.

Instead of mining a coin as such, may I suggest using your CPU for a good cause, and get rewards from it?
Here's how;
1. Go to ripple.com and create a Ripple wallet (click on Individual banner and follow the instructions). You can initially fund your wallet with about $2 worth of Ripple XRP, that you would have previously converted at Justcoin.com and transferred to Ripple. You can withdraw it once the wallet is initially funded.
2. Register with both www.computingforgood.com and www.worldcommunitygrid.org, and join the Ripple Labs Team.
3. Install the WorldCommunityGrid Boinc software (from Berkeley University) on your computer and start computing with your CPU for the research of your choice (Clean Water, FightAids, Children Cancer research, etc). You can select the computing configuration that you went, intensity of the CPU, only when idle, etc, - all within the software installed.
4. Everyday (at around 4PM PST), Ripple Labs will convert the points that you have accumulated by computing for WCG, and give you Ripple XRPs for them! You can then transfer back the XRPs to Justcoin.com and convert them to BTC, LTC or USD.
With this system, you make coins with your CPU, and you help a good cause - all at the same time! You can even throw in a GPU into the mix, if you feel so incline, but the system is really designed for CPUs.
I have set up this system on all my Scrypt-coin mining rigs (you can have multiple devices attached to the same WCG account), as most of the CPU power isn't used much when you mine with GPUs.

This sounds interesting. How much would I get out of it, let's say with an AMD FX-8320, if I'm running 24/7 ?

Dimecoin is always mineable and I believe it is very potential!
December 25, 2013, 03:28:10 PM
Datacoin is quite profitable, I'm mining it woth 12 servers right now and is CPU only
December 25, 2013, 03:25:02 PM
Solo and with CPU i think its hard you can try poll mining but its too less profitable.

You can even do that while using the approach outlined at http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=cpu_mining 
Even a raspberry pi or beaglebone can run many workers using the http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=cpu_mining approach and not really be using much system-resources to do it, leaving plenty for the BOINC type humanitarian endeavours.
If you really want a coin whose difficulty does not increase, there is always LiQuidCoin, which of course ends up as an orphanfest unless people just be nice and polite all using minimal computing-power so they can all just quietly accumulate worthless coins. (Worthless because someone impolite is sure to show up sometime, revealing in all its gory horror just how many orphans have to die grisly deaths to convince people that a cap on difficulty is a really really stupid idea.)
Have you tried running Ripple? That has a consensus method that doesn't depend upon intensive computing.
There are are usually a few others on the drawing-boards claiming similar methods, one actually launched recently I think but maybe only because it is a black box (closed source) that you don't get to see the insides of until after they have already taken your money. The Mastercoin protocol project seems to have really inspired the scammers who like to make what looks like a satire of some existing thing but that some people seem to send money to anyway so I'd be dubious of the NeXT one (hee hee, pun intended) to come along as well as those already in play...

I am looking to mine Devcoins, but not sure how to. I downloaded/installed the wallet, but don't know what else to do to start mining. Supposedly I can start writing or something. I've got some fictional stories I've written, but not sure if that's what is wanted. Figured it might be nice to be able to get Devcoins on the side, while buying them, too. Is mining Devcoins low-difficulty or insanely high, like Bitcoins? Can my laptop and other PC computers be used (all Windows system) or does it require vastly greater processing power now?
I've mined a few Litecoins in previous months, but the electric bill, to do so, got too high and I stopped. Not sure how I'd fare with Devcoin.
Hoping someone can lead me in the right direction. I believe there is a great potential future for Devcoin. Trying to get in on the ground floor, while it's still young.

I'm especially ask about DESIGN, such alt-coin, which would be for the whole way possible mined in solo.
I'm think about such coin, e.g. difficulty doesn't growth up. What can be unwind instead? Number of blocks per period ( blockchain growth, losing diskspace ) , plus bounty per block. Looks like bitcoin is not rich for such params.

There will be no coins that can be make mining profitable forever for everybody.
Once more people start to mine it difficulty rises and profitability goes down.
If such a coin would exits it would be a printing cash machine , and that cash would be worthless.

Is it worth to mine with this vps:
http://www.server4you.com/vserver/vserver-vergleich.php?server=PLATINUM
How much can it generate in mining cpu coins?

I mine for a day XPM on this pool http://www.beeeeer.org/
I've got only 0.03 XPM with my CPU. Every alts bumped, Scrypt ASIC on the horizon. Not a good future.

Hey there,
Protoshares seems like a good call but it's difficulty has risen loads lately... might be good to give it a try tho

PTS is also difficult to mine
I mine for a day and only got 0.01

you can mine NXT

I'm currently looking for alt-coins to mine in solo.
Looks like everything bumped by GPU miners, who run away from ASIC miners.
Is there any alt-coins that developed in such light, to keep solo-mining for any ordinary CPU ?
XPM, QRK ?
