I just hope ocminer will soon add a pool on suprnova...
As for GPU miners, I'm pretty sure there is at least one, maybe even 2 private ones available
There is no reason that Dev doesn't develop one for himself since all algorithms are open source. He just doesn't release it. Shame on him.
What is with all these accusations based on no evidence? It's like this place has become a bad drama. Shame on you.
Agreed. This post from the dev also is indicative of not having one:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.msg8113615#msg8113615Dev said he had opencl experience! and the testnet ran for months! and he didn't write a gpu miner just for fair ? wowowowow~~~~
Even more, opencl skill is not required since all the algorithms used are open source. He only need to write several lines of codes to enable GPU mining.
Actually it was some what intentional to start off without a GPU miner, I wanted Cryptonite to be easy for the average desktop computer to mine in the beginning, so that everyone had a chance to get in on the action during the early phase of mining. But we should have a public GPU miner available any day now, and mining will become dominated by the people who have good GPU's. And to answer illodin's question in the post above this, we created a new PoW algorithm so that a GPU miner wasn't easy to create and because I felt that there needed to be a good multi-hash PoW algorithm that didn't use a bunch of obscure hashing functions. We had overhauled most other aspects of Cryptonite, so why stop at the PoW algorithm.
