This is a really interesting question, now that we've seen how some community members have released the GPU miners. Our advertising strategy has always been focused on saying that Webchain is ASIC-resistant, not GPU resistant. The fact of using the tag "CPU mineable coin" is because the only official miner released so far is a CPU miner and that the team has no plans to develop an official GPU miner.

It's not a matter of keeping our eyes closed, it's more about recognizing the power of the community on the project. On the other hand, consider that a bunch of CPU miners would have driven the difficulty up too, of course not this quick, but it would have eventually happened if more CPU users had come and started mining Webchain.

If you think like that though that would be like deceiving your users... AFAIK bitcoin is a CPU mineable coin also... You could download cpuminer and mine sha256.

As I just said some messages above, the team is committed to keeping webchain ASIC resistant if that ever comes to happen. We said Webchain is botnet unfriendly due to its privacy settings, transactions are traceable. Keep that in mind!

If that is the major thing that they want to use as to how to promote webchain, then I am convinced they will be committed to ensure that in the long run.
