I really like cpu only, but we want more participation from people. I am not sure how much GPU will have over CPU as the resistance baked into the code is very good.
There is a benchmark about this on the openwall website. yescrypt is based on Bcrypt and Scrypt. The GPU resistant feature comes from the Bcrypt
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/GPU/bcryptin theory we should get about the same result with yescrypt
In theory, CPU only is ideal. Unfortunately, CPU only coins always seem to attract bot-nets. (Haven't the majority of BSTY been mined by bot-nets on altpooler?)
we don't know who are the big miners, but I have been able to mine and get BSTY on my laptop without problems. But if me, you or someone else is not mining then, anyone can comes and get the coins. with this low difficulty any medium to big size company can come and use some of theirs servers to mine some BSTY and not necessary they are bot-nets. Altpooler has been one of our first bigger supporters, one of the most stable mining pool, I think they deserve to have such amount of miners.
I think most people are unwilling to invest in or support coins that are primarily secured and mined by what is likely Russians or Chinese mining on infected computers.
do you have any proof that the majority of this coin have been mined by infected computers and not by hard workers miners ?
The BSTY, unlike the Bitcoin, litecoin, Dogecoin and monero doesn't have any public report that support your claim.
