Would people be interested in a coin that tries to balance CPU mining and GPU mining? Basically, if a $300 CPU can get x kH/s, then a $300 GPU should get x kH/s too. This coin would have some inherent flaws, namely the different development speeds of Graphics Cards and CPUs, as well as future optimizations in either direction. As well, it would be cheaper to build a GPU rig than a CPU rig, simply as more GPUs can fit in one system, however a rig can be "maxed out" (awesome processor + great graphics), and gaming computers would take a gain over generic scrypt miners. This is not a new idea, but it's an idea that has yet to be implemented.

Thoughts? Smiley

I quite like the idea.

If such a coin could be developed but was also made to be not just asic-resistant but asic-proof, it would be a winner. And what better time to release it than now? There are many who would mine such a coin that is 'future-proof'.

A coin that utilises both CPU and GPU as close to 50/50 as possible would put botnets to shame, and actually a fair few Scrypt-only mining games. My gaming rig would actually do fairly well.
