CPU mining MTP will not be profitable, except maybe the first few weeks if there is enough chaos.

It is a very, very GPU-favoring algorithm (8kbit stride!).  I think that's okay.  But I also think the people who wrote the MTP paper should be up-front about this.  They were wrong, very very wrong, about their claim that GPUs would have no advantage over CPUs mining Equihash:


Of course this was completely wrong.... show me a CPU that can mine equihash at 25% the hashes/$ or hashes/J of Claymore's GCN miner (see below).
That said the MTP PoW is very, very impressive, clearly the most advanced memory-hard PoW in existence.

Just don't sell it as something it's not (and doesn't need to be).

The best CPU miner (Tromp's) gets 27.2 sols/sec on a CPU that costs $320; the RAM and motherboard (not just one slot on a shared motherboard) will put the total cost way, way, above $400.  For $400 you can still get an R9 290 which does 331H/s -- and this is in the middle of the crazy GPU drought.  That's a 12x advantage, which is why (reality check here folks) nobody mines zcash with CPUs.  The GPU advantage was much much larger (like 20x-30x) before the GPU price spike last month due to short-term supply exhaustion.
