by your own words, the fix you are requesting is not for "the majority", and if it was a one liner, and I could test it, I would have done it already.
but what about the majority? do you know there is no amd miner yet, for example? don't you think that, from the community perspective, that should be given priority?
releasing a perfect coin is impossible, pleasing everyone is impossible, we are doing our best and we are sorry if you feel left out.
constructive complains help.
good code commits help even more ;-)
Constructive CRITICISMS (not complaints) ARE what you in front of you Pallas ...
Majority does NOT mean you have looked and catered for even the simplest of things within the code, such as executable bits before committing to Git, or missing the majority of the compat/ directory so people cannot compile properly before committing in Git. Seriously? You think that is a difficult thing to do for the 'majority' of the community? You think that is 'perfection'? Or is it simply laziness and a penchant for NOT checking on what SHOULD be a simple thing to fix?
Had you been truly 'sorry', then I would think even some of these simple issues would have been fixed and sorted from the beginning, instead of allowing the this wound to open and prove that the laziness that comes with the code, also reflects with the project, hence the team involved. It is a domino effect that is simply uncalled for. something that I honestly believe you think is irrelevant. I am NOT a minority, I am one of the majority. So if you think I feel left out, you considerably wrong. It is the same for the request I made to YOU personally about the XCN miner GPU limitation (remember that coin mate? The one YOU are the team lead in?). YOU responded with the acceptance it also needs to be done AND will resolve the issue when you can. It has only been approximately three months since I requested, and in that time, not only have you NOT had the time to 'fix' the miner, you have been able to work on the miner here, and a few other projects.
Kudos to you mate. This is what I mean by the responsibility of setting up a coin/project to be done in a professional manner. It has NOTHING to do with setting a 'perfect' coin. There is no such thing. Yet you take my criticisms, which I meant in all honesty and sincerity to be an alert to you and the SUQA team that there is something 'wrong' here, only to be shrugged off like this, and accused of 'feeling left out'? Come on mate. You know me better than most here, and a response like that is no response at all.
I am about to read the white paper now, seeing it has just been released.
I like the X22i Algo - so it will be part of our mining system soon. So ALL this I am writing is for what? Just simply to allow you to know the shortcomings of something YOU are involved in, that has fallen short of YOUR level of skill and expertise. Maybe I place you on a higher pedestal than I should, but the help you gave me personally will never be forgotten, so maybe that is where I deem you to be one of the better coders that wouldn't allow these simple issues to be present, which can be deemed as laziness within the project itself.
I will admit you are doing a good job thus far, but to say that I'm basically complaining because I feel left out? Well mate, the multiGPU XCN miner is now a CWI internal miner that DOES mine with more than 8+ GPU (upto 25 now), as we now have working with us one of the top level CUDA developers in the Crypto space (about to be published soon) who is assigned to build these things that most of the 'other' devs are too damned lazy to do from the beginning. This means it will COST us internally to have another miner to the same thing, when the simple fact is that the miner and code should have been 'fixed' from the beginning. Community pay for this? Or donate? Or did you bring this to life? Hardly.
As for the optimizations? Well, we all know what happens there, don't we mate? I'll stay watching this project. As for 'support' and 'community', we will see how that pans out. As long as you are involved here, then there is a good chance that things will move well, but these shortcomings being as prevalent as they are may prove quite the unstable platform you won't want to continue building on.
