The ArtByte (formerly AppleByte) pool is profitable for ASICs, GPUs, and CPUs for two reasons:
1. The linux source code was not released in order to limit the ability of the large multipools to mine the coin.
2. The official ArtByte (formerly AppleByte) pool pays a bonus to GPU & CPU miners on every block the pool finds. This bonus is paid by the AppleByte Foundation, not the miners.
