What if I crowd found it?
2BTC for 4GHASH on the gtx 1070 and I will opensource it.
No fee...
With the amount of greedy people you might not reach the goal. But if you do everyone would use it and in a few days the difficulty would just be higher and profits would be back down to what it was before the optimization (which is why many wouldn't pay for it).
But it's still better than a fixed price.
But none of them help with milking probably hundreds of miners who use your miner but never paid a dime to you.
agreed ...
when you create a new miner that is not under the gpl / opensource licences ... you can commit it as being yours and yours alone ...
this is not easy - but fruitful if licensing is part of the equation ...
even in linux - there are licensed products - but they have to be wholly yours - and yours alone - without any of the open licensing agreements ... sp - none of the miners you supply are - only the kernel changes - and even then - that is under the gpl licensing ... who is policing this? ... no one that has any power to do so ...
so which ever way you go with this - i agree that its better than a fixed price miner also ... though it amazes me that you even bother - with the size of your farm - and the rate of growth - you would be better to keep ALL your optimizations internal and the sp farm only ... why bother selling anything and opening yourself to this and legal scrutiny anyway? ...
