Title: Development cost for a GPU resistant coin Post by: Seth Otterstad on May 25, 2013, 05:23:46 PM Can someone familiar with the bitcoin code estimate what it would cost to develop a coin that can be mined less than twice as fast (preferably slower) on a GPU?
TacoTime lists some Intel data that shows a radix sort or a tree search algorithm can be done faster on a CPU: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64239.msg786472#msg786472 Title: Re: Development cost for a GPU resistant coin Post by: fran2k on May 25, 2013, 05:27:05 PM BotNetCoin! ;D

Just mine YAC after August 13. It seems GPUs stop working at all after that date.

GPU are superior to cpus in making the simple yet repetitive calculations that make up mining algos. people are gpu mining yac already and by august efficiency will be above 90% Title: Re: Development cost for a GPU resistant coin Post by: BitJohn on May 25, 2013, 05:37:47 PM Zero.
