CPU only coins appear to be gaining ground as more and more successful releases are appearing. Jcoin has met a new contender in Pennies that was released via Live chat on cryptsy. A fork of Yacoin with indivisible units and no gpu implementation yet, it seems to be slowly gaining ground.
I had a impromptu interveiw with Bitjohn, one of the most active mods @ cryptsy and managed to squeeze some information out of him. With the recent minor flood of coins and multiple requests from a lot of users to add new and existing coins, they have been overwhelmed and have had to re-do their list. I got a clearer explanation of how the coins are chosen and he promised to clarify to the rest of the community. By being open about this, i guess i can overlook the ORB debacle (hehehe).
