F.A.Q.

Q - Why would someone mine a CPU Only AltCoin?
A - The average person can use any PC to mine coins without needing to invest in high end video cards / rigs to get them. Mining is open to those that don't have a gaming rig with the latest ATI card.

Q - Can I mine CPU Only coins and GPU coins at the same time?
A - YES. Just leave one core out of the CPU only mining configuration.

Q - Are there any disadvantages to CPU coins?
A - Since every computer has a CPU, any computer can potentially mine them. System administrators can throw their idle resources at it. Botnets can be setup to CPU mine.

Q - You are missing a coin, how do I get it on the list?
A - Post to this thread and I will check it out.

Much karma for this list - it was a lot of work, no doubt ;p
