Please do not remove any CPU coin of the list if it become minable with GPU.
Just say that it can also be mined with GPU.
Thank you. Best list ever.

...Since Primecoin is compute bound it is surely not FPGA and ASIC-resistant...
But none of these on your list are going to be ASICs resistant if ever they have a large enough market cap to justify the development costs.
You do not seem to be addressing that fact?
Or is your list merely a "CPU only for now, and the future I don't care about"?
If yes, please clarify in the OP.
I could add something to the FAQ. How would you word it?
I prefer "It is unknown if any of these coins will be resistant to ASICs when their market caps grow sufficiently to justify the development costs of an ASIC design".
As evidence, Litecoin now has ASICs under development since its market cap jumped significantly recently.
I understand the technology very well, and no coin which is compute bound will be ASICs resistant. So none yet on your list will be. But since I haven't written a white paper to explain and prove that, I would suggest you use the word "unknown" instead, yet with the strong implication that the ASICs resistance isn't really challenged until the market cap grows sufficiently to justify ASIC development costs.
Another CPU coin, ChainCoin. It is very hard to mine this coin.

UPDATES
- Moved YAC to limited GPU category.
- Updated YAC info.
TODO
- Move Frozen to CPU only category.
- Update Frozen info.
- Check on adding FairQuark
- Check on adding Metiscoin
To those that have requested profitability info, I have heard you.
Anyone that requires help with their specific setup should create a new thread in the altcoin mining sub-forum. More people will see it there.

Hey Love the Guide i use it all the time! If you know anywhere to check CPU Coins Profitablity That would be the one thing this guide is missing!
If someone had some VM they could run each coin and see how many coins they got and post the results that would be pretty sweet!
any way I am using this software http://www.reviewoutlaw.com/best-cpu-mining-software-simple-alt-coin-gui-miner/
to CPU mine it just added Primecoin super simple just enter address and hit start.!
if any one else is getting confused on all the stuff to click.

So, I'm CPU mining on Frozen on the coinmine pool...
I see users with hashrates of 20,000, 50,000, and much higher than that even.
How are they accomplishing this? Are they botnets? Are they network admins? Are they cloud computing clusters?
How?!?

CDNcoin, a Chinese fork of Primecoin, is also CPU-only. Do not let the name confuse you, the coin is not Canadian.
This one is already in the high risk category.
You are right, I must have missed it. I can verify that the network is active, but the source code is broken and needs to be modified slightly to compile correctly.
Hi btc-Mike. Please remove Frozen from the gpu mineable coins. Smelter does not work with Frozen any longer. Only Cpu mining now.
Please provide link
Link for what? We never supported Smelter, it was a third party app, and it does not work with the coin after the v1.1.0.2 wallet.
Also please update the Frozen website to www.fzcoin.cc as frozencoin.org is old and invalid.
The forum post is in need of updating to: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fz-frozen-nopremine-cpu-mining-rare-fast-transactions-411291
And the Exchange address is: https://coinedup.com/OrderBook?market=FZ&base=BTC
Thanks,

I thought there was no such thing as cpu only coins haha
CPU Only with current technology.

what about the metis coin...?

Thanks for the add.
I think it's worth mentioning YAC code was published by pocopoco, who has never been seen again (just like with Satoshi and Bitcoins). A few days later Windmaster took over the development and the 'main' development thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=206577.0
Windmaster announced a few months ago that he no longer had time to continue developing the coin and has pasted the torch to Joe_Bauers and Sairon. Joe has helped established an official logo, name (Your Alternative Curreny), and upgrade the qt-wallet. Sarion has developed a block chain, charts, raffle, and other useful information that can be found here: http://explorer.yacoin.org/. But probably most importantly, Sarion has added 'coin control' to the wallet which allows users to pick which transactions to send - to minimize the loss of coin age.
I'm not an expert in these matters - I'm not sure I'd say the coin is having problems with the block chain. There are some discussions (in the on going development thread I posted above) about upgrading the code to have PoS produce 'chain trust.' With a block target of one minute (and PoS blocks happening even quicker) sometime two PoS blocks are created at the same time - creating an orphan PoS block. I believe this is what the development team is looking to correct.
I mine CPU and GPU (while GPU is still an option - at least until the next N-increase) this coin and trade it on bter and cryptsy. The coin has been around for a while and has a strong community (which includes the forums at yacointalk.com). I personally feel although this coin best fits under 'limited GPU' instead of 'high risk.' Out of all of the coins listed here - (AFAIK) YAC is the oldest has has had the most development work done.
Please move YAC to limited GPU, update the name (Your Alternative Currency), update the development link (listed above), and update the description - the 'block chain issues' have been resolved. See the below thread.

Thanks!
Bernankoin is not dead. Active network, difficulty increasing!
OP please correct it !
OP please correct it !
I don't see any real activity in the thread.
No activity in the thread = Unilaterally declared dead ? (and the thread is actually active from time to time)
Check here http://bek.gpool.net/tuhao 1000+ workers in this pool alone. This is not what I call *dead*
PS: thx for the useful post anyway
FairQuark - Quark based algorithm with less instamine: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/giveaway-fairquark-frq-come-get-your-free-frq-422599
BernanKoin might not be dead, the diff near 9.0 and increasing quickly
Right now just using the general release version of minerd and curious if I can get a little more performance out of my i5? What do you think is the best quark mining software for my processor and what kind of performance increase will it give me? I'm getting 60-80 khs per core right now... Thanks for any suggestions!
