Also, Frozen will not be added too list at all since it was GPU minable from the start.

I think Frozen should be added. There are two arguments:
1. It is in the same limited way GPU mineable as any other Quark clone
2. The GPU mining for Quark / Frozen is currently very limited:
- There is currently only one GPU miner available ("Smelter": a closed source project which supports only a few GPUs and takes 10% of the profit)
- Smelter is not supporting pool mining
- At the current difficulties of Frozen the GPU miners report that they find no more blocks by solo mining => GPU mining impossible now
- Even if the difficulty is low so that solo mining of Quark / Frozen with GPUs work it has shown not have give that big gain compared to CPU mining

I took some time to look for the GPU miner last night and there is not one available. I will be moving Protoshares back to CPU only.

Also, Frozen will not be added too list at all since it was GPU minable from the start.

TO DO
- Move Protoshares to CPU Only section.
- Add Atom and Particle to limited GPU section.
- Add FAQ

Hard to understand that you are saying PTS is GPU miner rumored to be out. Checked through PTS thread, can't find any information of GPU mining. Please update more details, would like see how to GPU mine. Thanks.

I've read a few that it IS GPU mineable. Someone said they were able to make a miner and sold it exclusively to someone. Not sure if true. You do need a 2gb AMD card though.

Add particle.
It is good because it is not premined and it quark based.

You should move all the Quark algorithm coins to the Limited GPU list.

Also do you know about SIFcoin, ancestor of Quark?

can any computer mine cpu? is there any way of testing speeds? Thanks!

Any computer can mine CPU. You shouldn't mine for long on a laptop unless you want to kill it. They are not designed to take the constant heat generate by running the CPU at 100% for long periods of time.

Test the speed of mining? Just start mining. If you want to compare two CPUs without mining, look at http://www.cpubenchmark.net/. Higher score will usually mean better mining.

i am mining with my laptop for a month now. Mostly datacoins. I mine on 2 threads though when i work. 4 threads when i sleep. I have it a bit high so air can go and cool it easier. Laptop is half the temperature than when i play battlefield 3. So i dont think there will be a problem. Its 2.5 years old laptop anyway.

btw protoshare and memorycoin i think should be in the list with quarks as of now.

Add MMC to limited GPU too, since there is a pool that uses a GPU miner now.

PTS GPU miner is in the wild and hasn't been release publicly.

Dimecoin is cpu

It is also 8% premined. I am going to add it as one to avoid.

Quote from: meta.p02 on January 02, 2014, 02:22:18 AM

CPU only -> GPU does not have large advantage over CPU? Then Momentum PoW, Prime PoW are CPU-only, others are not

No. Generally ASIC>FPGA>GPU>CPU

This list is for people that want to mine but only have their CPUs. The coins on this list will give them a chance to do that and get a few coins.

Apparently there are GPU miners for these coins now

I will check and update as necessary.

Also YaCoin's algo might be too hard for GPUs come the next N-factor increase

I tried mining on my CPU for PTS. After 1 week, there was nothing, so I stopped.

You did something wrong. I am mining with my slowest computer and still get shares on ypool.
