holy crap my hash just dropped... does anyone know around what block GPU mining will no longer be feasible?
GPU mining will always be feasible, it's just getting brought in line with CPU mining. Seems like a bit of a shame to me because adding more GPUs is a much more costly / involved process than adding CPUs (in terms of finding computers with existing usable hardware, let alone botnets).
After the latest drop, GPU is still far better, but if it keeps dropping more (I have no idea how much further it has to go) then that could end up in a weird place.
Well in the OP the dev said the current specs might not be permanent and they are open to suggestions... I hope it becomes popular demand to keep this a GPU dominate coin. I like the idea of cpu mining because the common man can start mining but that wouldn't be true because hackers/botnets would start taking over the network anyway and the common man still wouldn't be able to compete using his cpu. Atleast with gpu mining ppl can buy a card to up the hashing power, but not everyone is skilled enough to build a farm of slaves with cpu mining
