Best thing to do would be to get the miners stable on YaCoin using it as a TESTNET, until we have stable miners for both Linux and Windows and to see if someone doesn't just bring out a GPU miner anyway.
Once it looks a fairly safe bet as a new coin we can just fork his git and start all over again with a fair race to the finish line.
How does this ^^ sound?
With the interest his thread has generated there is obviously a gap for a well thought out CPU only coin. With enough interest and support I don't even mind managing the project with full disclosure to ALL before mining begins. I'm here because I believe in crypto currencies, not because I see a get rich quick scheme. Unlike many around here it seems.
