Their issue isn't about obtaining and building binaries, but about continuing development of the code to accommodate new hardware as it comes out, or cgminer isn't going to run efficiently on it.

edit: which you would have known had you given their posts a proper read before replying.

How does this have to do with maintaining software?  Read the linked thread.  It's a fork from cgminer that is maintained by someone else.

Litecoin-BAMT and SMOS Linux already support sgminer.
and why none has done the fork, to support more recent amd cards? 290x should do above 1MH/s yet they still do only 900-950..
Huh Huh Huh

I do not have experience as programmer to do it myself
I guess I can see where you could make such an assumption from the "if one so desires" regarding further development, but I am under the impression sgminer will be maintained by wolf0.  It doesn't really say it will in that other thread, but it doesn't really say it won't, either.

If you're using Windows, someone posted a link to binaries on the first page and they are included in the OP.  If you are using *nix, there are a lot of guides on how to build, and you might get help in the thread.  There is also the possibility that some distro is packaging it, which is what the programmer thinks should be happening.  I'm not a miner, so I can't really help you, but I'm not a programmer, and I've built lots of things on Fedora, including from github with help in threads and web searches.

Can we PLEASE stop supporting cgminer as the mining solution of choice given:

1) They don't care about GPU mining
2) They don't care about scrypt mining
3) The developers are douchebags.

Please?

Somebody needs to edit the wiki and remove ALL references to cgminer as it is useless.

I respectfully disagree... most of my rigs still use  2.10.5 cgminer... where the newer rigs are using 3.7.2.

the code is open source and can be forked from 3.7.2 for further development if one so desires.......

Me too , all my rigs use cgminer and have done for the last 12 months and Ive never had an issue with it, if it aint broke, dont fix it!.

https://litecointalk.org/ is where you need to be, if you understand why LTC is a bit superior to BTC (but you do not have to agree)

thanks for posting that. So great to see the man behind Litecoin and hear the story.

I collect silver and love the analogy between crypto-coins and precious metals
I also now collect Litecoin, as it seems Bitcoin has got away from me.
My mining is pretty slow and wont be economic on current values but I believe its an investment in the future and like my silver collection I rarely sell, but simply accumulate.
