Topic: Bounty: Open source WebCL miner - page 2. (Read 10007 times)
the webcl code is freely available, why bother paying so much to get it open sourced?
I'd like to hear what the coined.com author is looking for.
MIT or GPL3 License, whatever is wanted.
I think a bounty is the way the go here, to motivate one person to actually do it, rather than sending a few BTC to each of several developers who may never release any open source.
Of course, anyone who wants to tip you guys is welcome to do it. But for anyone who wants an open source WebCL miner, post your bounty commitments on this thread.

I updated kradminer.com with the following:
Open Source
The people demand it! But will they put their Bitcoin where there finger is? I will open source Krad Miner for 500BTC. All BTC above and below this amount fund my continued work on the XMMS2 project (Video) and other projects such as my network FLAC and CELT streaming programs.

I would open source a WebCL miner for 100BTC

I would definitely open source my work for 500BTC.
Hey nothing personal. I applaud your work. It's just that if a few WebCL miners end up controlling millions of PCs, that's not good for any of us.
I don't really think this project is that hard. There are already open source OpenCL miners that can be ported, so this is really just a good opportunity for someone who wants to do a bit of JavaScript coding.

This is a great Idea, I think its worth at-least a few thousand BTC. 
Two WebCL miners have been released. They connect to a private back end or to a pool.

These are going to put mining in the hands of millions of non-technical users (especially once WebCL ships with a popular browser) and even web site visitors (and probably malware victims).
The JavaScript web miners were a nice technical achievement, but were much too slow to have any significant effect on overall mining. This is different. These WebCL miners are competitive with GPU mining rigs. We need to make sure now that WebCL mining is available, it is widely available, without being controlled by a few developers or pool operators.
Let's offer a bounty for an open source WebCL miner.
Current pledges:
10 BTC smooth
15 BTC freeborn
25 BTC Total
Requirements:
TBD
EDIT: Add pledges and requirements sections
