Anyone think we should put together a community bounty fund for an improved GPU miner?

I'd rather pay for a true CPU only solution.

Impossible. What you CAN do, is make GPU simply not worth it. But it's a really stupid idea - botnets will then dominate the hashrate if your coin has any value.

EDIT: Shit, what am I saying, I'm better at CPU dev than GPU dev. Disregard my last.  Cheesy

Cpu is the way to go and I can think of one really good example of this with drops on rewards when hash rates get higher.

Its really a "magi"cal idea!

That's actually a stupid idea, because if many more miners join, it will also lower the reward. Also, everyone will mine at full power, hoping everyone else is stupid enough to lower their own hashrates.

Sure I would agree with that short term, but I think the guy or gal who throws up a single CPU to mine long term will have a better result. Anyways I hope this can get people thinking about new ways to do things.
