Re: [ANN] [GRS] GroestlCoin, super efficient algo & fair CPU/GPU mining 4 everyman!
Why are you so keen on getting advantage on nvidia cards? Surely that can't be good for distribution as most miners don't have nvidia cards?
IMHO everyone should be able to use the same guns.

nVidia hardware has always looked pretty bad (for mining) until December 2013 when finally scrypt performance of cudaminer finally matched AMD's R290 cards. However high end nVidia GPUs were way too expensive in comparison.
All of this has changed in February only with the inexpensive and power efficient 750Ti cards... Why can't we make AMD look bad for a while? We need to make up for years of humiliation

Well GPU manufacturers aside, if a coin can be mined much more faster on nvidia cards than AMD, all those coins will end up at just handful of miners and that's a major distribution failure. The mining model is far from perfect for coin distribution and these kind of 'unfair' advantages only make it worse IMHO.
I'm all for miner devs getting their fair fee for their efforts but at some point it's in everyone's best interest to have the same tools to mine.
It's actually good idea to help nVidia cards as much as possible with optimized miners, that will generate more competence between AMD and nVidia and that's good to us, miners.
