Bearing in mind I'm stuck with CPU mining. Bitcoins are impossible, Litecoins are impossible, Primecoins too difficult along with a variety of others that I've tried that weren't obviously pump and dumps. Unless I start up my own fork of Bitcoin/Litecoin (of which my programming skills are lacking), there seems to apparently be no way for someone to just hook up and mine for a bit, perhaps get maybe one or two coins and then disappear for a day or two, come back... and so on. Effectively if you don't have a decent i7 processor or running two or three really high high GPU's... there's no way for you to even think about getting involved.

...fairbrix? O.o (It would help if these were actually listed in places where people go looking for cryptocurrencies). I'll take a look through the list and see which ones I can actually get fired up. Links?

I'm not purposely excluding myself (I don't make it easy apparently by a) running linux b) having a rather old computer) but with everyone jumping on GPU's it does leave mining to only those who have lots of money to spend...apparently.

I'd like to actually mine rather than collecting handouts if I can help it.

Hey, nothing wrong with using Linux. Compiling coins is easier.
