OK.. People .. Who are comparing CWI with _SP / rune's miner.
I have been part of Crypto for quite a while now, and I all in for providing developers with balanced rewards for the work that they put in.
_SP has been using an open sourced CCminer codebase and tweaking it and charging 0.05-0.2B for the miners.
First of all, it is borderline unethical and even illegal to use an opensource software and charge for the tweaks on GPL license or MIT license. Most of _SP miners are closed source which is plain and simple illegal for further developing an opensource software like CCminer, there is no doubt about that.
Secondly, now being a closed source miner, unless you extensively test it for long long time and compare results, you would never know whether the hashrate shown is just a "show" to rip people off. Remember, a simple line of code which can show you +10% results without actually changing anything in miner.
Thirdly, like most of _SP miners he earns 2% - 5% (thats what he says) as mining fee. Once you buy the miner, it does not make any sense to keep paying him dividends on your electricity bills. _Sp claims that people share miners so basically to offset the cost of so called pirates, he charges that "small" fee in the miner.

I urge everyone to stop buying _SP miners. If someone buys please share it with everyone for a fraction of what you paid for your miner and make sure that everyone gets it. _SP will earn enough from the inbuilt fee. Do NOT buy _SP miner and keep feeding him more fee for borderline illegal and definitely unethical work. Force him to go on Claymore's route which is a free miner with % fee inbuilt. Only in that case he has a true incentive to make miner faster so more people use it. If you keep on feeding his greed because of your greed.. mark my words.. you are getting ripped off !
This is exactly why I support CWI even if I get 5% less "visible" hashrate. CWI will earn through their pool fee and our additional donations. Be generous to CWI if you really want them to develop a miner. Its difficult to find software developers in crypto who are not greedy. So support CWI whole heartedly.
hi maxmad_x ...
we appreciate your kind words ...
while a great deal of that is true and appreciation is given - please drop the size of the post

rune has always been like this - and will never change ... he is even asking for the community to donate a 1080ti card to him so that he can 'develop' for the card ... this is a man that has made SO much money from the community - that he has more gpu in his farm than most have seen in a lifetime - and he says he cant afford the 0.22btc to buy a 1080ti ... that is just the way a charlatan like him works ... and if you read his thread - people cant wait to throw money at him to do the 'tweaks' he does ... he becomes a millionaire from it and states its all 'pocket money' for him ... unfortunately thats just the way it all works ...
be that as it may - with time we will try and help the community of miners ( as we are one ) to be able to mine WITHOUT the ridiculous costs and lies that entail the use of a miner ... it 'should' be a good - well working application ... and if a fee is part of it - so be it ...
we dont intend on pushing fees - and the small 0.7% pool fee that we have is a small amount indeed ... we give tanx to those that have donated / donating more on top of that fee within the pool itself - and in all sincerity give tanx ...
we are focused on the next test - and it should be a much more stable edition of a miner ... we cannot give timeframes here - unless we KNOW we will produce what we say we will in that period of time ... so for now - we will keep working on what we need to and bring the test forward when it is possible to do so ...
always remember tho - that mining at our pools is also a small way of donating to us AND pushing the hashrates even higher to solve much more blocks ... and you can use pretty much any miner to mine on any of our pools ...
all we can promise - is that we will do our best - in ALL we do ...
