is this coin CPU or GPU based mining?
At present, the coin is mineable by CPU. However, the possibility of some smart guy can develop a GPU miner ( or maybe some of them are doing so).
You can mine with your computer. However, it is hard to mine a block now. Some guys seem to rent superb rigs to dominate the output.
Hard fork will happen within serval hours. Let's expect the situation will be good for small rigs.
