Gridcoin is the biggest I'm aware of. Most people who mine it (that I've spoken to) think of it as a way of subsidizing their hardware and electricity, not as a get-rich-quick scheme.

I'd have pretty much broken even back when it was $0.10/grc, but it would have taken me ages to make back my investment.
