Any CPU only coin is useless.  Just a get rich quick scheme for botnet owners controlling 50,000 computers.  Either the algorithm has to be changed, or it has to go myriadcoin style somehow.

Nah ...people get scare too much about botnets (risk managent) ... I know many IPS networks operators that check for botnets on daily basis ... bit old but still a nice paper about it .. http://www.enisa.europa.eu/activities/Resilience-and-CIIP/critical-applications/botnets/botnets-measurement-detection-disinfection-and-defence

Botnets can be shutdown as soon as they discovered .. How can you shutdown a huge gpu/asic Farm Huh
