What time GPU miners coming Huh

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

Indeed. Slimcoin is certainly not just a 'copy and paste' coin and has many innovative features.

Its quite remarkable that Slimcoin has had a relatively limited following up until now and that it was almost left to just crash and burn. (pun intended)
