I have made this possible. Over a period of 6 months ppl have donated around 2 btc for my hard work. But a
amd kernal that is 300% faster can be sold for way more than 2 btc. My gpu coder student time is over. Time to make some $$$
Have you considered a Claymore type of approach for nvidia? That has got to earn a whole lot more and once you've done it, it will keep earning for you until someone comes in an makes a faster miner which is not very likely. You really deserve way more than 2 BTC but a lot of people don't even know anything about ccminer and just following tutorials to start mining without ever contributing to you.
It requires you to dump SGMiner/CUDAMiner/ccminer (all are infected with the GPL) and write your own, full-custom. I'm working on it, but it's a major pain in the ass. It also carries risk - reverse engineering can rob you of that work in an instant, so the binaries must be hardened well.
agreed ...
as good as you are composing a well hardened locked miner - there will be someone just as good reverse engineering it ...
the open source model and 'trust' effort for sale of ones optimizations seem to be the better way of doing it ... for now ...
the best model seems simply that the dev produces - then SUPPORTS the miner and optimizations ...
take the most successful company with that model to date - redhat ...
i wish you well wolf ... although i can imagine the hell you are going through trying to get it all done ...
as i said earlier on irc ... if your miner has the stability and functionality of ccminer and the 'stats candy' of sgminer built in to a single miner - then you will have a winner ... especially if that miner can do both nvidia AND amd with the 'flick of a parameter' - so to speak ...

Well, no, you don't have someone as good reversing it. Not because there is no one, but because you simply need to make it not worth their time to do so.
I'm implementing a Stratum pool client first. I also plan to support getblocktemplate.
well - there seem to be people worldwide reverse engineering software 'for the fun' of it wolf ... just because 'they can' as a little project for themselves ...
look at the many many MANY things that are happening these days in the crypto world - just for the sake of it ...
im just saying that people as talented as you and sp ( and many others not mentioned ) really need some form of a payment system where you are rewarded for the amazing work that you guys do ...
there really is NOTHING in place for it ... not that i can see anyway ...
i was in a situation a while back where i volunteered my networking skills for a non-profit organization which i expected nothing in return ... what i did for free would have cost them thousands of dollars ...
what happened amazed the hell out of me ... the hand-outs i received as a thankyou was more than being paid cash ... which i promptly donated back to the non-profit organization - as i started the work with the intention of helping them ...
what im trying to say is simply this ... this non-profit organization has a SYSTEM in place for donations and handouts and things of that nature to help themselves AND others ... there is no such system for you - as developers ...
im looking at setting something up to allow for donations to be placed specifically FOR the development AND the developers such as yourself ...
this way - reverse engineer or not - you actually are rewarded for the work done ... not just in words ...
