wait...
this is gpu coin and u want develop asic? :DDD are u joking right ?XD

Not at all. From what I understand the scrypt alt coins were created to get away from the ASIC dominated world of SHA256, but I also know that most people are in this market to be profitable, so I made an assumption that the community would like to have access to an ASIC in addition to the normal GPU based hashing. If the community as a whole disagrees with me, I am more than willing to redact my stance on trying to build an ASIC and instead move towards furthering the GPU based community by working on more turn key based systems and easier mining solutions.

Other users feel free to chime in your 2 cents so I know the direction the GPU community wishes to strive for.

The idea of an ASIC is not necessarily the issue. The COST of the ASIC will most certainly be!

The push back that you will feel from this community will be based around $'s, and thus creating another coin that has the potential to be "exploited" by an ASIC seems redundant. More so, it's ironic, that you should call your coin GPUCoin, when you're leaving the door open for an ASIC to come in an limit the GPU's effectiveness.

If your intent is to create a GPU based coin, that is then able to be used to purchase additional GPU's, then I'm in as well! But given that coins like Ultra/Vert etc are already heading down this path, the only key point of difference here is your linked in shop that only accepts GPUCoin. Assuming that GPUCoin will end up on multiple trading platforms, the need to directly mine this then becomes less of an issue, if it can just be bought.

So, if you're intent is to create "GPUCoin", then ensure that you're putting your best foot forward to ensure that this is ONLY minable with a GPU (for the foreseeable future).
