yes sure :p please stop saying shit please
How is your dual miner coming along or optimized kernel for DCR?
It's great and everything when devs see kernel development as a hobby and they put time into whatever they feel like, whenever they feel like it... but mining is a job for some of us and we need developers that see it as a job. I am very much willing to pay, but you can't pay money for something that either does not exist or someone wont sell you.
Relax, Epsylon3. Dude is full of nothing BUT shit.
So where are your miners you openly sell to the public? Oh yeah...
Say hello to the guy that fucked over everyone except the giant farms on AMD's side with his private kernels. Don't worry, I didn't forget.
You just forgot the whole miners history. Or you are remembering only what you want to.
Why don't you rehash the 'whole miners history'? I guess I don't have that down pat.
Are we going to talk about the part where he releases his kernels after they get leaked and people try to sell them, so it looks like a act of 'good faith'... or the part where he graciously makes miners (usually getting paid by the developers) for coins that no one uses or cares about?
He knows where the money is and he knows what miners need. He refuses to sell to small or even medium size miners... even large miners with the coin if he doesn't like them... I lost a good amount of money to that fucktwat due to his schenanagins and he talks about me running my mouth?
Lets look at the real world for a second:
https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/anticompetitive-practicesSpecifically, this guy:
https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-antitrust-laws/single-firm-conduct/exclusive-supply-or...but, you know... it doesn't matter cause this is all online, right?
Normally, I don't even respond to this kind of shit, because no one needs an explanation to see his argument doesn't hold water...
But this one is funny! Exclusive supply or purchase agreements... the link talking about antitrust laws to do with stopping others from entering the market. Best part is - I encourage it. He doesn't want to get off his lazy ass and *do* anything of value like compete, so he bitches and moans. But that does not imply I'm stopping him.
You're not looking at things the right way, you have exclusivity agreements with miners. You aren't a single entity, both miner and kernel developer, you are a supplier of kernels.
I can't compete with other miners because the supply of kernels isn't open for purchase. Not only can I not compete, I was forced out of business because of it as were all other miners that weren't using your kernels...
Ever wonder why the government takes apart monopolies and forces something like the Bells to break up and form smaller conglomerates or more recently lease out towers for cell phone usage? Same thing goes for internet backbones and more recently net-neutrality.
It's interesting how you're all gung-ho about being 'legal', but only when it suits your needs.
Still actually fair game. Anyone can start developing. I'm not actively, or hell, even passively trying to stop it. You act like you can't get on, say, Freelancer and hire a dev. Oh, too expensive? Free market sucks when it doesn't go your way, eh?
Also still doesn't change the fact that he single handedly destroyed mining for all small and medium size miners in addition to some larger miners who he didn't like.
I almost wish this shit was true... kinda makes me wonder if you're really delusional, or just trolling. Either way, from talking to you, I sound pretty badass.
I don't think you understand what it means that I'm a miner and you're a kernel developer. You can still engage in anti-competitive practices if someone else can do what you're doing. You can also go mine your own coal to generate your own electricity or extract your own venom for a anti-venom if you end up poisoned.
In this case you're colluded with the people whom you sold your kernels to in such a way that locked down the mining market and preventing entry into it. Mining and kernel development are two different jobs. You specifically obfuscated your market and sales (and still do) as well to prevent competition from outside sources. Making it appear as though there isn't a market when there really is. Not only that, it fed people who may have wanted to enter into the mining market a false sense of costs and ability to compete with other miners who are already in the market.
To this day, since the rise of Eth, not many miners no what it was like to mine on AMD hardware pre-Ethereum... especially a year ago.
Honestly if it were so easy to do your job and you believed that anyone could do it, you wouldn't have a job nor would you brag about what a huge farm you're going to eventually will out of thin air and flaunt over all of us.
This is like being a restaurant and only having one source of produce/spices/meat. Could I start my own cattle farm, raise my own chickens, plants my own vegetables, and mill my own spices? Sure... Is it a reasonable assumption that a restaurant should do this and as such that one supplier should charge whatever they want and sell to whomever they want? No.
This is all in the past BTW... You definitely fucked me over and a ton of other people. Losing thousands of dollars due to someone playing shady ball behind everything else isn't something people easily forget. Since I've learned about this I can now back other people, raise awareness, and hopefully stop this from happening again.
Speaking of delusional glad you still pretend that didn't happen and you still continue to sell your kernels behind closed doors to the highest bidders and push all the small folk out.
Either way, from talking to you, I sound pretty badass.
Finally that insecure in the choices you've made that you have to reassure yourself? Mind you that you aren't reassuring yourself that you've made the right choices, rather that you just adequately put down a poor SoB online whom you screwed out of a lot of money in a proper school boy fashion.
