Monero is the coin with the most CPU hashrate. It uses RandomX algo, which had a couple of serious audits and it holds very well so far agains GPUs and ASICs. There are a few more coins using RandomX, one of them which is more profitable than Monero is Arweave.

Yes. So far, Monero is the most successful CPU-based cryptocurrency around. I think that RandomX is very resistant against GPUs and even ASICs. If stays that way for the foreseeable future, then Monero will become the best CPU coin on the market. With a hard fork coming every 6 months in order to maintain ASIC resistance, I believe that Monero has a bright future ahead of it. While XMR is the biggest CPU coin to date, there are far more options available for the ASIC and GPU mining industry. We need more CPU coins in the crypto/Blockchain space in order to ramp up the competition. I know that the main issue about CPU PoW coins are botnets, but that could easily be solved by relying on the security of the main Bitcoin blockchain. The new dPoW algorithm by Komodo, makes this possible. I believe that Verus is a CPU coin which uses dPoW for protection against 51% attacks.

I've stumbled across many "yescrypt" coins on the market, but none of them have become popular in the crypto/Blockchain space. The majority have been abandoned by their developers, resulting in lack of interest from everyday people. Consider other CPU coins like Ultracoin (UTC), and Hodlcoin (HODL) which were really good choices on the market. After lack of development, they're almost dead. Magi is another CPU PoW coin that's good, but the main developer has abandoned it. While the community has taken charge, there's still a long way to go before Magi becomes popular in the crypto/Blockchain space. Let's hope that CPU coins get the attention they deserve as small miners are left out of the game. Eventually, most altcoins that are ASIC and GPU mineable will become dominated by big players in the industry. This will lead the average person towards CPU coins like Monero and the ones mentioned previously. There could be a bright future for CPU PoW coins if people continue to support them. Otherwise, they'll just become an idea that will eventually fade into oblivion. Just my thoughts Grin
