Wow lots of people with 17 m/h mining a cpu only coin "until gpu miner is released", seems fair..... Are people mining with 20 i7's or a botnet?
Dat Shit Cray
From what I understand some of the "programmers" have already ported the coin to gpu's and are mining it that way. They have not released it to everyone else yet though but they ARE out there.
Kinda reminds me of some other coins where they don't release how it's optimized or a miner is released for Nvidia and not AMD even though it would be simple to do.
If it's "simple" and these "programmers" don't do it, then by all means feel free to do it yourself and release the code publicly.
Mining is competing for the block rewards, it's not communism, you aren't entitled to a "fair" portion of the block rewards.
The designer has already said that a miner is made that works on the GPU's and once they knew that a someone had figured it out and was mining that way it would be released to the public so it shouldn't matter either way.
As far as your "fair" comment, since no one is entitled then what is the point of worrying about limiting to less than 51% of the hashrate on a pool or any one person having it. That is simple it will undermine the coin can allow that person to reverse their own transaction and it isn't fair to others. Since pools are already up and running single mining is no longer "fair" either since a pool running at over 100 Mh's will bulldoze anyone trying to single mine and make a couple coins. I am commenting as the people who have the experience writing the programs and scripts are running around posting basically throwing it in people's faces that they have the ability and we do not. The developers should just release the GPU miner since it has been discussed by quite a few that it is available. And honestly fairness would be every person from a 486 to a i7 getting the same amount of coins just because they process but since this is the real world I don't expect that. I also thought that since this is supposed to be a community with the idea that they are here to help eachother out, for that matter the coins and software are being built off of open source code that people would be decent enough to make a release when they find something but I guess that is a little too much to ask for.
