I'd recommend mining Monero. I think it is the only 'alt' coin with a future, and it will be able to be competitively CPU mined fairly, along with GPUs and ASICs forever.

Well, one can always mine the most profitable coin, sell it and buy Monero.
I actually do that.

if you are doing that...
you can tell us what is the more profitable CPU coin now...

if you want, we will appreciate it!!

You may be right here, I am always mixed which is which between CryptoNote and CryptoNight.
Sorry about the confusion. Indeed, the names are very badly chosen.

I definitely won't blame you!

I remember seeing a site that list CPU mine-able cryptocurrency. The thread with the site link should be around this section. Not more than a month ago. Check it out. I would also suggest you to check out OrbitCoin. I'm not sure if it was a dead coin or not but the difficulty seem low enough for CPU to mine with.

You're probably talking about cpucoinlist.com. It has not been updated in a while.
A recent discussion about that.

Afaik, Magi is similar to CryptoNote algo

Absolutely not. They are very different things.

Magi ANN post tells:
M7M is based on the M7 PoW algorithm introduced by XCN.
So I'd say they are not that different.

But XCN is Cryptonite, a CryptoNote coin. There's no such thing as CryptoNote algo - that's probably CryptoNight. You can thank CryptoNote developers for being total douches at choosing names. M7 is definetely not CryptoNight unless you get very flexible in your mind. At that point all algos will be the same except maybe Quark derivatives.

The only truly GPU-resistant algo around right now is yescrypt (GBST) but coin value is nonsensically low. The globalboost team sponsored creation of a GPU miner instead of barring themselves in the "CPU ivory tower". GPUs right now don't have any advantage.

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing.

You should try CryptoNote or similar coins.

Afaik, Magi is similar to CryptoNote algo, so it's in this list.
There's also Monero, DuckNote, BBR, DSH, DNC and many more.
Some have higher diff, some have lower diff. Some have better price, some don't. You'll have to research a little.

However, try not to expect miracles. In most cases you barely pay for the power you consume.

Is there a good mining calculator for CPU only coins? Are any even actually profitable anymore? I have a few spare rigs I can divert for anything decent.

Hey everyone.

I have a server with 2 XEON CPU's.

Any coins that would work well with Xeon CPU's?

Because I have no idea.

~Hamuki

i think MAGI could be a good solution

here some data / specs / miner
