A mid GPU has 40x edge on a top CPU??? Disgusting scam.
why is it a scam? SHA-3 (Keccak) was designed to be parallelizable and ASIC
friendly. That fact the developers initially didn't provide a working GPU miner
does NOT mean that noone else would be able to provide one.
I ported the single round Kekkac256 to CUDA within a day (coincidencially the
24 hours that the MaxCoin developers have decided to delay the launch).
If the launch had taken place at the original date, there would not have
been a CUDA miner supporting it. In fact the delay inspired me to work on it.
That and the availability of the maxcoin-cpuminer source code at the original
launch day.
I am sure there will also be keccak capable CGMiner forks available very soon.

You did a great job, and many appreciate it.
If you want to blame anyone for this failure of a coin, blame the incompetent developers.
Instead of botnets you got GPU farms. What's the damn difference?
