I don't find a linux version of the Nanashi Meiyo-Meijin's ccminer 1.7.6, just the Windows.
Are the sources available ?
I"ll make the compilation for my Linux RIG.

sources at nicehash git:

I just have to LOL on compiling ccminer.  If you can't compile it, you are just lazy imo.  It is so easy.

Maybe you could try compiling without source code to see how easy it is. Or maybe you could post
something in context with the recent discussion, which was about the availability, or lack,  of source code.

If people who don't know how to compile are lazy what does a post like yours make you? I could answer
that but I'm not into name calling.

Lazy.

People have different areas of expertise. It's actually pretty ridiculous to see people hate so heavily on those that aren't part of the 'elite'. If you take it far enough you end up in the group where people are lazy because they aren't writing their own code to optimize algos. It's stupid.

My private kernals are running fine on linux. You just need to setup wine.. If you don't know how to do it. Use windows.

With Wine, what would you need to install extra software or is it just the latest version and run the exe through Wine?

Have a really tiny SSD on my Nvidia rig and Windows 7 takes up nearly 50GB.

Nothing special, just use wine or wineconsole from a shell. You get full speed.

What he did in the past was good. What he is doing now is not.

my github is still active, I have 1245 commits


https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/commits/windows


Faster blake-512: (18 april 2016)

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/commit/b79789c6fde8362111193db156bfe390b79bf00a

25% faster

Decred is blake-256. Same shit different wrapping.

I still share some juice, and the competion is not.

PUBLISH ON REQUEST WITH A FEE--

He does not have to toss his code to the digital waves.  He is allowed to ask for a fee for the code, and to publish only on request.

He can charge for a binary, and charge another fee for the code, on request.  That allows for a delay in release of the code, to prevent instant cloning of his work.  He does do assembly modifications to existing code.  That is his "art".

--scryptr

He was asked by a major donor who doesn't use Windows and refused.

MY RIGS ARE ALL LINUX--

And there may be more to things than you say.  The other fella is another story.  I do not know the whole story.       --scryptr

Get real, no-one can ever say, what SP_ has done is "Greed", he made a small margin profit on doing some research and lots of coding work.

Whether it's greed is irrelevent, it's just my opinion. It's what he is doing now that is the problem.

What he did in the past was good. What he is doing now is not. He can do whatever he likes with his code,
that is his right. But he has no right to publish binaries of modified open source code without making his source
modifications public.


He is not publishing these items, in the conventional sense you are implying.

None of people getting the private miners can code and nearly all are unable to compile on Windows.

They are getting a lock version as far as they concerned, which they do not have the skills or knowledge to change in any way.

...Secondly, he was the main coder for the spreadcoin Nvidia miner.

nope - just to point the credits to the right guy... it was TSIV!

sp_ just optimized and sold it... as usual.

You are right about the license.
But others have a point with sp_ having really helped small miners to stay onboard.


That was in the past, and I recognize that. The problems started when he stopped publishing his changes to open
source code. And if you look deeper many of the optimizations in his fork were developped by others as open source
yet I don't see him kicking back any of his "donations" to them.

Greed seems to be his current motivation but he's still not satisfied so he's quitting. That doesn't help anyone.





Surely, you are not going to make this ridiculous argument about SP_, this is the not greedy by any sense of word "Greed" when it comes to Crypto.

There people, who go onto Alt Coins Thread, in groups posting stuff like "This Coin is Dead" and try to get dumps going on coins, so they can buy them up on cheap after selling their coins at the top of a pump. That, is what word "Greed" can be accurately applied too.

Get real, no-one can ever say, what SP_ has done is "Greed", he made a small margin profit on doing some research and lots of coding work.

I know you are able to do research, coding and compiling yourself; you don't need SP_ services. Most of us, would rather pay a small fee to have better mining software.

But, don't pretend this some big issue, it is small margin profit, when compared to bots and inside line on trades and other nefarious methods seen.

Can we just help small miners not to fall far behind ? I'll allways give my 0.1 BTC for that, one way or another.

And if I have written my own compiler, do I need to publish the compiler too?

No, if you've written it all by yourself and never used any GPL code.

Your own github has a GPL licence for ccminer -- https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/blob/0182a9d5e2218dcdcf5d57bc4fd88cfe50061b5a/LICENSE.txt#L245

And you admit it is forked -- https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/blob/d59bcd4587c320cfa175f9821bddb436e27e60b2/README.md#ccminer

Unfortunately, legal side isn't on your side.

Fortunately, nobody can de-anonymize you here, so you're good.

And honestly no one really cares except a couple butt hurt coders. If he was selling exactly the same thing without changing it people might raise their pitchforks, but his work is faster.

Anytime anyone does anything that goes against the grind of a handful of big miners getting their hands on really good miners (like with AMD) a couple coders and nameless plebs come in here and try to shit on things so it stops. You can bet some of the naysayers are getting fed from somewhere. If only you could follow the money trail.

Look at Gensis Mining?

Their coders wrote a Ethereum program called Enigma, which gives a significant boost to hash output - no-one is hate posting on their thread for them to opensource Enigma.

They've kept is completely secret; you can bet there are pieces of opensource coding in it.

SP_ was getting £16 donations in 2015, for a windows compiled version of ccminer, with tweaks and optimisations for small miners who cannot code and cannot compile from source.

People are being way to harsh on this thread to SP_


You are completely missing the point. Your example is the right way to do it. Presumably they did not use any open source,
Their code is all proprietary so they are not obliged to publish it.

SP is using open source code made by others adding a little bit of his own then not publishing the source.

It has nothing to do with charging for it, it's all about how you use someone else's code in your product. See the difference?
