YentenCoin (YTN) is an interesting project that we have stumbled upon when looking around for CPU-only crypto coins and we were pleasantly surprised by it – a good presentation, ongoing development, large number of pools and listed on a number of smaller crypto exchanges. It all seems great, until you look at the trading volume – almost one, yet there seems to be a few hundred people mining the coin. The project describes itself as “the best CPU coin” that can be mined wit everyone that has a computer (CPU crypto coin) and that could’ve been true if it had larger user base and more trading and usage going on as the rest seems quite OK already. So we wanted to give our readers an idea of the project, so maybe it could get some more attention that it deserves.
YTH uses the YespowerR16 mining algorithm, meaning it is intended to be mined with processors only, no GPU mining here, sorry. A good choice of a mining software would be cpuminer-opt or SRBMiner-MULTI, though there are other options available as well. The YespowerR16 algorithm is Intel friendly, meaning that AMD Ryzen CPU owners might want to go for RandomX-based projects in order to maximize their processor’s potential instead. YentenCoin (YTN) even has its own simple GUI miner that might not be the best performing one, but sure seems easy enough for everyone to use.
The largest mining pool for YTN currently is CPU Pool that has some other small CPU-only crypto projects available for mining. You can also try Yenten Pool and the coin is also available on the Zergpool and Zpool where it can be autoexchanged to BTC if you do not wish to mine YTN coins directly. As for exchanges, a good starting point would be Graviex and Crex24, though as we have already mentioned there is currently not much trading going on for YentenCoin.

Revisiting the Coin Magi (XMG) CPU-only Altcoin
28, Jan 2016
We haven’t paid a lot of attention lately to alternative crypto coins that are mined only with CPU with no GPU, FPGA or ASIC miners, so we’ve decided to check what is going on with Coin Magi (XMG) as we haven’t been following it actively the last few months. Coin Magi is a PoW and PoS coin that is currently being traded for a little over 2000 satoshi per coin, it is being traded on multiple altcoin exchanges including some of the largest ones, though the trade volume at the moment is pretty low and there are multiple pools where you can mine the coin if you do have some spare CPU power available and you are wondering what to mine.
Coin Magi (XMG) uses the M7M algorithm and besides CPU mining and staking coins you can also rent mining rigs at the Mining Rig Rentals service. Last year we have tested the most up to date miner available for XMG – the Wolf0 m7m v2 cpuminer on an Intel Core i7 5820k CPU and now we have retested again in order to compare it with a more recent release in the form of a dedicated m-minerd for XMG (source) that is based on Wolf0’s code. The 32-bit version is significantly slower, so we do recommend to go for the 64-bit miner for best performance, but interestingly enough we are getting slightly less performance for, the new miner. The advantage that the new m-minerd miner for the M7M algorithm has an option for that allows you to set the percentage of CPU usage you want the miner to take.
Intel Core i7 5820k (6C 12T) CPU:
– Wolf0 minerd 64-bit – 122 KHS
– m-minerd 32-bit – 64 KHS
– m-minerd 64-bit – 119 KHS

Coin Magi (XMG), the altcoin you should be mining if you have some spare CPU power, has launched their 2nd Proof of Mining campaign. An incentive that tries to award with more coins people that do not have too much hashrate, but still want to get more out of their CPU mining power. The idea of this campaign is to encourage people to continue mining even if they have low hashrate or the block reward is not that high by giving them extra bonus coins – the longer you mine the higher the bonus will be. The 2nd PoM campaign will have a duration of about 2 months and you need to register to participate and use a special dedicated pool where you have to mine in order to get the extra reward apart from the mined XMG block rewards. Do note that the total hashrate you can mine with in order to participate int he campaign should not exceed 250 kh/s.
