People who voted CPU-only haven't been around long enough or aren't tech savvy enough to appreciate the power of botnets.

I don't have a GPU farm so I'd love CPU only to be viable and fair for the masses, but unless you have some genius innovation to nullify botnets, its a pipe dream.

All we can do is fire up some cloud servers for a few hours and hope to do battle with the botnets until it becomes unrealistic. That's not particularly fair for anyone with a single CPU home computer though..

LOL try using your brain.

Coin release 7.30.  CPU mined.  Probably a lot of solo miners.  ( no bot nets at this point because it would be at least a few hours before they could even get the network configured ).

2 hours in.

Bot net joins pool.  Solo miners join pool.. everyone mines in pools and making coins.

NOW HOW ABOUT GPU.

7.30 coin release.  GPU miners with huge farms jump on.  No one with under 2-3 gpu's can solo because gpu farms too big.
Everyone join pools.
GPU miners pump ready to dump.

SO.. what looks better here..  To me its cpu mine only but hey if your a massive gpu farmer of course your going to cry wolf because all you are into crypto coins for is a quick pump and dump and boost the bank balance.

LOL a few hours to jump in with a botnet?...more like..2 minutes..

LOL you honestly believe that don't you.  Now explain how someone with a bot net would go about achieving that in a couple of minutes.  Explain the process of getting each infected machine setup to mine the coin.  I want each step because I know you will not be able to explain it as clearly you have no idea.

Unfortunately, it is you who hasn't any idea. Do you think the bot herder has to login to each machine and install software? Of course not. Most botnets have their command and control done over IRC. The bots check in to the C&C channel and the operator can issue commands depending on the complexity of their software. So the op gets the mining program, packages in a configuration file, ".bots install maxcoin", done. Definitely not hours worth of work.
