Bumface, is ziggy doing anything at all about the CPU mining problem?

what problem?

We don't have an independent CPU miner that can be used for pools. Some of the patched CPU miners for a couple other scrypt-jane coins have a close enough start time that they will work while our n-factor overlaps with theirs. The main issue is getting one set up for ultracoin and having compiled versions available.

Bumface, there is the possibility that your precious can be burned by CPU farm mining after few n-factor changes. This is the problem. If you can prove that this is not going to happen that would be very nice.

I have put 2+2 together, cpu mining would have been dev'd/promoted more if intention was for cpus to be able to mine. highest hashrate i've seen for cpu is 125kh, could be higher, but again this is highest i've seen. Wallet setgenerate mining fluctuates wildly from 0 to 25kh for my cpu, and spends more time at 0 kh. So from what I've experienced and observed, CPU mining is a joke.
