Title: Coin idea, Cudacoin CDC

Someone, make a coin that can only be mined with Nvidia's Cuda platform.
It would give Nvidia card owners something worth mining.

what benefit would that kind of coin have to the altcoin community as a whole?  Would it benefit anything other than nVidia miners?

We could buy GPUs again!

Just need to find an algo with better performance in CUDA ...

NVIDIA are great GPUs, most of the GPUs in the cloud computing scene.

Uhhh that is the point. I mined on nvidia for a long time and it was horrid seeing everyone with lesser cards run circles around my top/mid card. While I was pounding out 130K they were getting twice that for a card that cost much less.

Seems the algo for CUDA coins may be scrypt jane.
