looks like i have to sign up to download but im still on the 788 drivers so it wont work but wanted it for future 

it does for me.... and im at work on a locked down network xD

it wont download

I've considered that. But keep in mind that 90-95% of the Awesome Miner users runs the free version, so I'm already giving away many hundred development hours to the community for free.

ACK, in this case consider donating a small amount to the developers. unless your that greedy

it was at even lower before, it's better now, with 1k satoshi price

This coin is ranked bellow 100 positions in CoinMarketCap...deep falling in price, not good.


imag

Tell me about it. I scratched my head for hours before going back to the Unix version, an OS I know nothing of. Found an AMI which had the driver installed and re-used it

GPL prevents you from using source code from a GPL application and put it in another application with non-GPL license. As I explained already, Awesome Miner is NOT using any source code from open source projects.

Awesome Miner is simply executing (or connecting to the API's provided by) ccMiner.exe and Sgminer.exe, and that is fully allowed and doesn't break any GPL licenses.

For example: A user is running ccMiner.exe on one PC and Sgminer.exe on another PC. Now the user want all features provided by Awesome Miner, so the user go ahead and download the free version of the software. Then they simply point Awesome Miner to execute their existing ccMiner.exe and Sgminer.exe. In case of Sgminer, they can also connect to the API using a TCP connection. This is not in conflict with GPL.

Don't hold for too long either. Set your sell order. Don't make the same mistake as JPC. Holding too long and never sell for good profit.

You are not allowed to use cudaminer/ccminer in your program as its GPL2/GPL3.

I don't want to get into an endless debate about open source vs closed source, but here we have the problem. First everyone expect all software to be available for free, then the same people agree that donations gives very very little.

For Awesome Miner, it's not 100% of the users that pay for the software, it's maybe 5% or 10% because most people use the free version. For donation based software it might be 1% paying users. For software without any free version, it's 100% paying users. I think it should be up to the developer to decide which alternative to use, and I went for the 5-10% alternative. But I don't complain on people that would go for the 100% paid alternative.

Again, even if Sgminer or ccMiner would cost money to use, I would still be able to provide people with either the free or paid version of Awesome Miner. Now Sgminer & ccMiner don't cost any money and uses donations instead, and if the donations are too small, maybe it's time to change to another model instead.

Look at the Linux market for example. Linux is free and open source, but there are plenty of 100% commercial closed source applications that cost money that run on Linux. Are they all bad? Or is it that they simply add value and customers are willing to pay for that extra value?

One more time: Awesome Miner doesn't include any source code from ccMiner, Cgminer, Sgminer or any other open source project.

i hope to make 1/2 as much as i did on jpc.

hope so, I haven't sold any so far

I suggest u hold those coin. It will be worth much more. It's the new JPC.

Thanks a lot both of you (yellowduck and e6ug) and nice timing got the 2 donation in the same minutes

thank you! sent a xcn donation

djm, i know it's not much but it's a start.

I just send u 1,000 XCN.

Thank you for the upgrade.

I will make an effort to send u donation from now on for any new / upgrade on miner.

And all that using open source code made by the very people in this forum, seriously?... No thanks.

actually what is disappointing also is that de sg/cg/dev don't get anything because donation is very limited but on top of that you get some using the name and the popularity of these software to sell something else...

So basically it is a double ripoff of dev assets as the guy won't even send a dime to the developpers who wrote these softwares which without them he wouldn't be able to sell anything.
