Did Satishi expected GPU / ASIC mining?
Yes  Wink

ASIC mining will always happen, there can't be a "non asic" currency  Wink

We'll see. A pcb with 100 atoms is also an asic.

As long as it is profitable to produce the technology, there will be ASIC chips pointed at it...whatever 'it' may be.

I'd mine but how would you ensure that its CPU only? I have easy access to a ton of processors. Smiley

Cpu-only means that PoW function is less expensive on CPU than on other devices. Scrypt was the first step on this direction. Other steps are to be taken. We never can be sure but we can try Wink
