The GPU miner is really not a factor since GPU mining is very bad with this coin (it was good for about a week or two until yvg1900 released his Yam Miner for MMC which eliminated this advantage).
I think it is safe to say that MMC is the most (or one of very few) GPU resistant coin existing today.

I believe GPU is still viable and interesting. I've mined MMC for some time with two of the R290 of my mining rig with 41 HPM and it was profitable (now it isn't at electicity price here in Italy). As a comparison with my i7 with AES-NI on and hugepage working I achieve an 8 HPM. To obtain the same result the only way I had was to mine on my company server CPUs but... this was not an option Smiley
Yes, cpu wattage is less but the watt per hash ratio, I believe, is still pointing to GPU mining.

As for the pools - The coin's CNO is working on a (already in beta) p2pool to solve this issue...
This should hopefully move many people to use the official pool with far lower fees (1%) and will create a better hash power distribution.

This would be interesting. I'll go read about it.
