Re: [ANN] Slimcoin : Proof of Burn NEW BLOCK GEN, Mineable by low power computer!
What time GPU miners coming 
Hmm I was quite hoping it is truly resistant to GPU mining, similar to how Cryptonite has almost very little advantage over CPUs (assumption based on http://cpucoinlist.com/). Anyone has any insights on how Dcrypt holds up? Being a CPU-only coin has a certain appeal, and it might not be too late to switch to another algo in time for the fork.
Not insight, but from the whitepaper:
Quote from: Slimcoin Whitepaper
The Dcrypt algorithm is a front-end to the SHA256 hashing algorithm. Its main purpose is to prevent an ASIC dominated
proof-of-work mining scheme from occurring in Slimcoin. Allowing Slimcoin to become ASIC minable will overshadow
the proof-of-burn and proof-of-stake aspects of the coin. Dcrypt is made to be difficult to parallelize, require significant
amounts of memory, require significant amounts of reading/writing to/from memory. Also, the amount of memory required
is not a predetermined size. The hashing algorithm loops until a specific condition is met and for each loop, the size
increases.
It goes into more detail that quickly becomes beyond my comprehension proof-of-work mining scheme from occurring in Slimcoin. Allowing Slimcoin to become ASIC minable will overshadow
