this launched like 3 hours ago, who knows what it'll turn into but the algo is cpu only at the moment. I'm sure there will be minerd, then gpu miner to follow in a few days you know how these things go, but for now its cpu only.

BSTY coin, yescrypt algo.
my 3930k at 10 threads gets like 800 hash per min..

That's what I really dislike in the coin when devs changed it from cpu-only coin to gpu mining coin.
IMO, if you've launched coin with cpu mining than don't switch to gpu mining .

you cant exactly control it, there was a host of coins like heavycoin and a run of new weird algorithms a few months ago, every one was cpu only until SGminer developers/forkers made it GPU mineable. any new coins listed here will likely have a gpu miner sooner than later. it takes some variable to be harder than a gpu can handle that a cpu has no problem.. Ramhog used by the defunct shinycoin started up 16gb ram threads of scratchpad to keep itself cpu only while it lasted.. but its not a copout that a cpu mineable coin becomes gpu mineable though progress.

edit* add props to the other mining software devs asidefrom the SG team and those who fork them

also... having something cpu only for a start at least allows participation by cpu miners who otherwise would skip a coin. i feel like this adds to a healthy distribution

I agree with the last statement about the possibility to join cpu mining coin at the beginning. Starting with cpu mining coin can attract people who dislike gpu mining and that's good for promotion

Just to give and update. GlobalBoost-Y is still cpu only and we have not seen a gpu miner yet. We have grown a lot and would love to have more cpu mining supporters. Grin
