So having heard nothing for a while from the founder I perused the dedicated GPUcoin website yet found nothing recent there save about 81 spammy posts from some user calling himself paterickfag. Maybe I got left behind here and everyone else is hanging out somewhere on a GPUCoin smartphone app? At any rate, I decided to get out while I could get still my mining investment back. It was I who tanked the coin on Yobit today - yes I'm the idiot who bought the book this time. Weak hands have left the building.
I actually made a little bit on this venture but it's not nearly enough to retire on (as I had hoped) so I'm going donate a tiny bit to a worthy charity. I'm creating a bitcoin address that begins with 1GPUCoin from which I will send the coin. I'm thinking in some way it will immortalize the existence of GPUcoin in the bitcoin blockchain. I would appreciate suggestions for charities that accept Bitcoin. I'll update here once the donation is sent.
Ugh.
White said that he got banned from here (YET AGAIN!) for trying to open up a new ANN since,
despite all evidence given, they still refuse give him control back of his original account. So he's given up posting anything here.

The spam on the forum is unfortunate and gets hit by spammers frequently, but keep in mind there is maybe 3 people who moderate it, myself included, and I do not visit there daily.
I cleared it out and banned the spammer.
The coin is not dead, dev is still around, just
not here. You can thank BCT for that.
