I think GPU mining should be banned if you want a fair and decentralized mining queue for  Steem.
If you make "GPU Mining Pools" it will only make things worst and you end up with all the mining power in the hands of a few.  
I don't think this was the original idea for Steem

It doesn't work like that man.  

They built code that interacts with the chain in a certain, conformant way.  So, since they're within spec, they're within their rights...

Ok, but having the POW queue being dominated by 2 individuals is not the best way to secure the blockchain.
Some code changes could be done to make it more decentralized and just.
If this issue is not handled, then I will shut down my nodes and look for other uses for my hardware and connections.
I might just as well post cat photos and get more incentives than competing against rabbit and gxt-1080 for a place in the POW queue.
