Hi Team, are you planning to switch to GPU mining?

No, we aren't. It's against the main goals of the project. Keep in mind that Webchain Network was designed to allow CPU users to enjoy the profitability of a cryptocurrency where GPU mining is not more profitable than CPU mining and where ASICs are not allowed. I invite you to have a look at our whitepaper.

I've been CPU mining since the very begining. My hashrate is modest, only 140h/s.
----------------------
See the above posts for working GPU miners, now see the Network hashrate bump from 2 Kh/s to 1.5 Mh/s.
Now tell me again, is this coin a a real CPU only coin, or CPU miners are fools?

Are you planning to:

1. Fork to disable GPU mining,
2. or keep your eyes closed
3. or become a CPU+GPU minable coin?

This is a really interesting question, now that we've seen how some community members have released the GPU miners. Our advertising strategy has always been focused on saying that Webchain is ASIC-resistant, not GPU resistant. The fact of using the tag "CPU mineable coin" is because the only official miner released so far is a CPU miner and that the team has no plans to develop an official GPU miner.

It's not a matter of keeping our eyes closed, it's more about recognizing the power of the community on the project. On the other hand, consider that a bunch of CPU miners would have driven the difficulty up too, of course not this quick, but it would have eventually happened if more CPU users had come and started mining Webchain.

If you think like that though that would be like deceiving your users... AFAIK bitcoin is a CPU mineable coin also... You could download cpuminer and mine sha256.
