Topic: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. - page 577. (Read 2347641 times)

its not so easy to setup a pool, that require time, network, a good amount of miners and handling support.

Fyi, sp, i saved you a bunch of LBC on zpool with your c=LBR typo

so yes i even do support for zpool and guys doing money with my work

The donators can keep using the opensource. but most of them choose private bins because
then they earn more.

perhaps he mean to release it only for 30%-50% of the miners? it's not like you cna know how much exactly is 30-50% of the whole net that keep growing

and also who will buy the miners will sell it regardless, that's the real problem with donation

the best thing to do is making your own pool as a dev like epsylon did, and take your fee from there

inb4 "bensam and his regurgitating shit"

wtf does that sentence mean

Releasing miners on 30%~50% of net hash is sustainable. On one hand the network diff will not be too high that the farm owners complain, on the other hand there's good margin for devs.

Guys I was just mining one week now with one card..wasting 4€ of electricity and got just 0.01BTC so far.
What you think I can share? I really would love to donate every day when i buy my brezels i see a homeless and give him 50ct or buy him food even more expensive one than mine.
Maybe I'm alone about this thought but I share what i have when I can do it. I'm not about profit atm it try something and if you guys work give me some ROI of course i share with you.
We are all in the same boat.

I will donate as soon as I have something i can donate to you guys promised!

"The people are willing to donate" if they have no other choices

"There could be a general opensource miner with a 5% fee on it"

I'm sorry but this won't work.
People don't donate, doesn't matter how.
If they remove the fee from a compiled binary, so they will from the sources, and also publish binaries without fees.
Also that would be a problem for the devs with all the forks.
Some devs will fork the main miner, make some little changes to it and change the fee destination. It would be very unfair for them (us).


EDIT: and remember a miner is a money making machine, which should be one more reason to donate.

There could be a general opensource miner with a 5% fee on it, the more commits on github, the more real benefits for the users, the more btc's for the single dev with more commitments. Everyone could have access to the commits, and everyone could also make improvements, maybe on a beta-free version to test the results.

There could be an improvement for sure, but these kind of issues should also be addressed because every time there's something new on the table, about potential issues. I can confirm that there are improvements on the lbry side, but I need to test more, and personally the fee approach I think that it's problematic, due the incostant flow of shares from the miner itself. I've had some issues regarding this aspect. It's surely better to have to pay something and stop. When you begin to see automatic reconnections of your miner, to the unknown, it's not positive, and certainly cloud lead to speculation. Given the average values of shares, poolside, who could guarantee that it's just 3.3% if you can't check it in the source, compiling by yourself?

That's another issue in potential, obviously, and surely it's not the case but it's better to avoid such things.

The comunity needs to donate if wants something to happen, otherwise just don't expect public releases. If you don't support the devs, they'll work for someone else in any case, and it's a necessity for them, and whoever pays them. It's just that people don't give value to gifts, to understand the importance of the things in life they need to pay for it, so they give the associated importance to the bucks gone away.

Sad. Human. Common. Behaviour.

Pallas was faster.

This "community" will never donate. You simply cannot write so perfect miner that these people would donate.

No, they will buy private kernels. They want exclusivity so that the diff stays low.
That's why the miner situation is what it is now.

People who are really interested and driven by business motivation will donate...

I could agree, but  there is a sentence which is not true (and I have experience with that):

"The people are willing to donate thats for sure."

there is no "port" to do, just all deps to recompile. And for cuda 8, 2 lines to change in the project. Still waiting their release

else, sp, the main problem actually its most users are now contacting me to get a better version... but unlike you, i try to handle at the best all platforms at once.

Im not fully against the fact you "improved" it, its more about your posts everywhere which also alert all farms to mine (and dump it)

Sure there is somethign fishy but guys wouldn't it be better to combine your brains to make a perfect miner then?
The people are willing to donate thats for sure. Its just how you guys would share the cake ...as Siri said when you devide 0 by 0..in the end the cookiemonster is said :-D

The are chance to do something good..I already thought of helping porting ccminer to VS2015 and Cuda 8. why not say lets do it?

Here the terms of conditions of GPL:
The terms and conditions of the GPL must be made available to anybody receiving a copy of the work that has a GPL applied to it ("the licensee"). Any licensee who adheres to the terms and conditions is given permission to modify the work, as well as to copy and redistribute the work or any derivative version. The licensee is allowed to charge a fee for this service, or do this free of charge. This latter point distinguishes the GPL from software licenses that prohibit commercial redistribution. The FSF argues that free software should not place restrictions on commercial use,[50] and the GPL explicitly states that GPL works may be sold at any price.

The GPL additionally states that a distributor may not impose "further restrictions on the rights granted by the GPL". This forbids activities such as distributing of the software under a non-disclosure agreement or contract.

The fourth section for version 2 of the license and the seventh section of version 3 require that programs distributed as pre-compiled binaries be accompanied by a copy of the source code, a written offer to distribute the source code via the same mechanism as the pre-compiled binary, or the written offer to obtain the source code that the user got when they received the pre-compiled binary under the GPL. The second section of version 2 and the fifth section of version 3 also require giving "all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program". Version 3 of the license allows making the source code available in additional ways in fulfillment of the seventh section. These include downloading source code from an adjacent network server or by peer-to-peer transmission, provided that is how the compiled code was available and there are "clear directions" on where to find the source code.

The FSF does not hold the copyright for a work released under the GPL, unless an author explicitly assigns copyrights to the FSF (which seldom happens except for programs that are part of the GNU project). Only the individual copyright holders have the authority to sue when a license violation takes place.


Although you are allowed to sell a modified version of a GPL licenced stuff, you must always deliver the source with it.
You are not allowed to sell private miners (as it restrict GPL licencing ==> "This forbids activities such as distributing of the software under a non-discolsure agreement or contract)


ps: and we all know, you are not doing any optimization anymore, you just attempt to sell, what other created without even improving it...

you dont even have changed the miner version on your fee miner

I don't violate anything with my private kernels.


The first version of the LBRY cuda port was written by me. Here are the commits. (15 july 2016)

The GPL licence allow me to give beta binaries of my work to private individuals who donate for my work on the opensource sp-mod project.

SP miner is totally illegal and violate GPL licensing. Sp should definitely stop using other people miner without their consent.
And actually he should be prosecuted.

well yes the old "if you can run it you can crack it"...there must be someone who is using clymore without fee for sure or reselling it with higher fee
