> Monero takes this one step further by having an algorithm that is ASIC-resistant and that can be mined just as well on GPUs as on CPUs, which is probably the best you can get with regard of mining decentralization.

Frankly, it will be interesting to see Monero's distribution. Because I was there when a glut of Cryptonight coins were announced. The selling point was CPU mining was back.

Quite a lot of people abused the AWS free credits to get a leg up and mine tons of coins.

But the most interesting was the guy who worked on a CUDA implementation to the Monero's mining algorithm ie a GPU miner. For a long, long time this mining software remained private. I believe it was only after the BTC crash to 300 and hence, Monero's to lower $1 levels that this got released publicly.
