I’ve been experimenting with CPU mining on Linux lately, mostly out of curiosity and to make use of older hardware that would otherwise sit idle.

I know most of the space moved to GPUs/ASICs long ago, but I’m interested specifically in coins that are intentionally designed to remain CPU-friendly.

So far I’ve looked into Monero and a smaller project called Nerva (XNV), which claims to actively resist GPUs and ASICs to keep mining fair for regular users. Hashrates and power draw on my setup are surprisingly reasonable.

Are there any other truly CPU-mineable coins worth testing in 2026?

I’m not chasing profit as much as learning, decentralization, and actually participating in a network with commodity hardware.

I think privacy coins are gonna be huge with everything that's going on in the world. I can see Monero and other privacy cryptos blowing up. This would include the other micro cap privacy coins like Nerva. I would be lying if I said I'm not holding a small stack of XNV along with others like grin and ghost.
