Funny, because I myself mined ~400 MYR with CPU 2 days ago.
Which coins CAN you mine with a CPU? Not very many, last time I checked Primecoin and Quark are the only ones likely to be worthwhile anyway? And did somebody ask for those algos to be added to MYR? Not what I saw.
It's my understanding that CPU mining usually works only when a coin is new - somebody quickly hacks up the GPU miner code and the game is over...
We can discuss further if necessary. Thanks
400MYR? yahooooo! Meanwhile ask someone with GPU how many did they get...
I wasn't bragging. I was merely pointing out that CPU mining was possible AFTER the whining about CPU mining not being profitable started.
I'm not one of these miners who flashmobs every new coin and tries to hoard it, then dumps them on some dodgy exchange that will probably just keep my coins...
** I like this coin and I'm here to praise it FOR THE WAY IT IS.
First, quark is not CPU only coin, it's more profitable with GPU. Second, many people asked for Primecoin, but it doesn't have to be Primecoin algo, could be anything that is only minable (or only profitable) with CPU (currently only Primecoin, RIC and MMC are more profitable with CPU than with GPU)
Let's remember that Quark is hardly worth mining at all, because the block reward is too low. If you're saying a GPU miner has taken that over as well, then it's completely out as "algo6". So XPM, RIC, and MMC are the only algos you would even consider adding?
Prime would not be a bad algo, however the code is different and integration might be tough. This dev has already wired together FIVE algo and created a "balanced difficulty" between them - why mess with a good thing? A hard fork is bad enough, but what if there were imbalances with difficulty when adding another algo? I like this coin the way it is!
I vote NO on "new algo". In a brotherly way.
A hard fork doesn't have more implications than a upgrade of the wallet from everyone, nothing else, it's not "bad enough", nothing wrong about it.
Upgrading the wallet for everyone is hundreds of hours of error-prone work. Also, when you make changes to software, you have to code, compile, test, find bugs, debug , fix , rewrite, and release them. This is C++ code for MONEY - not some PHP website. Do you want to do this work so a handful of holdout CPU miners will be happy? You could start a bounty thread if you're not up to the work...
MMC has a GPU miner
It's not about having a GPU miner, it's about being more profitable, MMC is more profitable with CPU than with GPU. There are also private XPM GPU miners, but they are just not profitable because they are slow.
Honestly, if we could fast forward to a bug-free future MYR with a CPU-only algo and everybody hardforked I would like that.
However, I believe this coin is the "fairest of them all" already...
...and I just don't think it's worth the work and that it could kill the coin too easily.
