I wonder how it happened, as long as we were measured by our speeds on the CPU, someone used the GPU. How did it happen that the "new" algo is use the old algo in the settings of the miner?

Because I was in a rush, simultaneously fiddling with virtual machine to compile a windows binary -- helping manfromafar with a hashing module for yiimp pool.  
Take a look at my commit https://github.com/punxsutawneyphil/ccminer/commit/86ed32f7c5929e6ccab7675a7ee58eecfc02cd1e#diff-43e9d1691f560530f3f6aa1869bf0b47

It wasnt worth the time when you're in a race against everyone else won't release miner to community, people like sp charging for miners.  sib.cu was used as a skeleton.   It is indeed, new in the respect that no one has used that particular combination of those 6 hashes.  I kinda sorta like it alright, it seems to run reasonably power efficient on my 1080ti cards.

I can say pretty easily without a doubt I was the very first GPU on the network.  Now, about an hour after I finally got it hashing most efficiently on my cards, a few more GPUs joined the chorus.  No clue where they came from.  Keep in mind, Nethash was around 75MH/s  and just my three cards was half that.  If someone was surreptiously mining GPU before I did, it woulda been obvious.  Pool has many many users, for GPU to hide in there, it would have had to have been a 750ti LOL Smiley
