Why do people always scream for GPUminer for every coin? I think a few true CPU-only coins are good. Btw as far as I know, Cryptonote uses egalitarian proof of work. It is even harder to make GPUminer than prime number.
Someone correct me, maybe?
That's not very fair AizenSou. There was no screaming here, in fact, I was just responding to the poster that was asking others to join at the attempt of guessing what "new algo" C&C were working on.
In any case, since you asked, my motivation for a GPU miner is quite simple: I have 2x really old Xeons, and 4x 750TIs, and that's really all that I mine with (I'm not much into the cloud/renting approach to be honest, don't get as much fun out of it). For the technical aspects, and to diversify a little, I am aiming to mine some Monero. If all I can through at it are the 2x old Xeons, then so be it. These are making me little over 1 coin a day. If I could have the 750TIs also on it, with reasonable performance, I'd be happy to mine some more. That's it...
Side note: I think C&C get's his "fix" from the challenge really, so the harder it is, all the better, and more fun is had along the way. New "cpu only" algo = C&C's porn
