Coinevo (EVO) is another crypto project forked from Monero that is based on the RandomX algorithm, though using its own variation called RandomEVO that you might be interested in checking out if you have some spare CPU power to throw at mining something relatively new. Do note that although EVO is a PoW coin it apparently also supports Masternodes and about 2/3 of the block reward goes to the nodes and 1/3 to the miner. You need to use a dedicated fork of XMRig (XMRig-EVO) in order to mine Coinevo as the specific algorithm is not widely supported as some of the other variants of RandomX.

There is an official EVO mining pool as well as another alternative EVO mining pool with more hashrate available, though the majority of the hashrate seems to be from solo mining apparently (in general not a lot of hashrate). There is an exchange called EREX, a very low volume crypto exchange not much EVO trading going on. Performance wise the RandomEVO algorithm is doing better on AMD Ryzen than on Intel CPUs, here is a comparison of what hashrate you can expect to see: about 2850 H/s on Intel Core i7 6850K (6C-12T) and about 9800 H/s on AMD Ryzen 3900X (12C-24T).

The latest SRBMiner-MULTI CPU and AMD GPU Miner version 0.4.3 has added support for the Tellor (TRB) algorithm for GPU mining, though not all mining pols are apparently supported as the miner is compatible with trb.uupool.cn and other pools that use the same stratum implementation, but will not work on hashpool.com. Do note that Tellor (TRB) can also be mined using the latest NBMiner 29.0 that also supports Nvidia GPU mining. However GPU mining for this algorithm may already be not be profitable for GPUS having in mind that the Tellor algorithm has recently been made available for Blackminer FPGA miners. Below you can find the full changelog for the latest SRBMiner-MULTI and a download link.

SRBMiner-MULTI CPU & AMD GPU Miner 0.4.3 changelog:
– Added ‘tellor’ algorithm (trb.uupool.cn compatible stratum)
– Improvements on ‘minotaur’ algorithm
– Guided setup fixed & simplified

The BiblePay (BBP) project has announced they are going to be switching to the RandomX algorithm on March 24th, 2020, at block 184675. What is interesting here however is not only the switch to RandomX for PoW CPU mining, but the fact that the coin will support Dual Mining along with Monero (XMR), it is called BBP Dual Hash Mining and is in fact closer to merged mining. In theory, you will receive approximately 190% revenue for mining (more specifically, 90% in XMR rewards, and 100% of your hashpower in BBP rewards). Each RandomX hash has a full 100% chance of solving a BBP block (or a pool share), while each RandomX hash still has an equal chance of solving an XMR share.

There is a custom miner XMRig-BBP, based on XMRig, that you need to use in order to be able to take advantage of the BBP Dual Hash Mining feature and there is a new RandomX pool that will come on-line approximately 1 day before the fork goes live, the address will be: rx.biblepay.org. It definitely sounds interesting, though until the new pool reaches significant total hashrate it will be hard hitting Monero blocks often and that can really bring lower initial results. Still a novel idea and something different than just another hardfork to switch to RandomX as a mining algorithm. BiblePay (BBP) coins can be traded on the TOKOK crypto exchange.
