hi all,
this is the question.is there any ??

theres no such thing as a CPU only algo ;)
if something LOOKS like its being mined by CPUs only, you just havent FOUND the GPUs yet

It's technically correct there are no "CPU only" algos, but economically there are. Some algos
can't exploit the advantages of GPUs, ie massive parallelism. Algos that use a large amount
of memory per thread would severely limit the number of threads that can run on a GPU reducing
the efficiency below that of a CPU.

As far as that rplant link, I don't know what that means. The pool has no way of knowing what
hardware is mining, they only have the agent id from the miner that can show anything the user wants.

That being said I did see an agent id that indicated an experimental version of ccminer. I consider that
slightly more reliable although, as I said, it's easy to manipulate.

Thanks, it was very interesting but a little too enthusiastic.
Predicting the future with confidence strained its credibility.

Time will tell.

Edit: I just noticed that glowing report about yespower was written by the same person testing
the experimental ccminer I mentioned earlier. It looks like he has something working but the hash
rate appears to be about the equivalent of an i5 CPU. I wonder what card he's testing with.

Hello there, power2b is based on yespower ago which is "designed to be CPU-friendly, GPU-unfriendly, and FPGA/ASIC-neutral". Only difference between those two algorithms is hash function which was switched from sha256 to blake2b. So as long as there no nvidia miner for yespower there won't be one for power2b.
