please nobody release a GPU miner for cryptonite. Leave us alone with a coin that is profitable on CPU. I really mean this. Let us utilize every processor in a PC rather than choosing which coin to mine on GPU while CPU sits idle.

There's already an AMD/ati miner.

 That is sad. but I am still making some money on cryptonite.
That's because the GPU/CPU ratio for these algorithms aren't as high as they are for scrypt or even X11 (even though it's a lot better than estabilished, old algo's like Scrypt). But it's possible that there won't be much more improvement for GPU's on this, so a CPU will remain "profitable" Tongue
A GPU just becomes another CPU ATM, placing 6x 750ti's is cheaper than a mobo with 6x cpu's Smiley

Now you are making it look good, but thats where profitability gets killed. With GPU you have 10 or even 100x miner mining and dumping the coin and price plummets.


I really dont get your logic. CPU mining is dominated by botnets and EC2 so its really uncentralized and also real easy to attack.
Are CPU miners mining the coins for souvenirs ? They dump their coins if they think it's the right time just as a gpu miner.
The price of a coin has nothing to do with mining difficulty  Roll Eyes It's all about demand-supply and different mining hardware does not change that.
+1
not mentioning that there is already one for amd... (and it is bad there isn't any for nvidia...)
want to use your cpu, run on shinycoin and its 15gb memory requirement...
