GPU mining only made Litecoin stronger. I don't see why the same wouldn't happen to YAC. I'm really surprised someone  hasn't already released something. But to the OP's original request, I can almost guarantee that someone is already mining YAC with GPU's.

you cant atm...

yac uses scrypt-jane, and is/was designed to be cpu mined only..

If you could, it would be the end of yac, as its core ethos would be pointless

If you think a GPU miner can't be coded for it, you're mistaken.  Both chacha20 and keccak have faster throughputs than salsa20 and sha2-256, and the value of N right now should provide extremely good GPU performance.

Except N will change _tomorrow_ and then what?

Doesn't matter -- because of the TMTO tradeoff and higher GPU memory bandwidth I doubt you'll see a point where GPU implementation is slower.  Once you have the GPU implementation adjusting it for higher N values will be trivial.

then yac is dead, as thats the whole point......

Basically the first person to get a large GPU mining farm on this will shred the network -- assuming this hasn't already been done.

Add a - and a | to the C in CPU and you'll get a GPU that can mine YAC!
