- tsiv ( still no contact ) ...
- pfool - have all the details now ...

I've never understood this. Why don't you input their BTC address on a multipool or Nicehash and mine to it? Or if you're really picky and want to differentiate yourself from normal donations, ask them for a new BTC address just for mining.
HAMPSTERWHEEL MINING--
It started as a joke, in this thread, about the time Neoscrypt was really a hot algo. I kept saying I would mine on my "hamster wheel", a 6x 750ti rig, for the code. I did, for a while. Why be so critical? It is another way to donate, and privately. --scryptr

its not only another way - but its a simplified way to donate also ...
- ONE url ... that is easy to remember ( donate-
- the url never changes ... even the ports stay the same for the various algos ( even if we add or remove ports ) ...
- if the dev decides to change the btc address for ANY reason ... the donation mining doesnt ... so no messing with the miner addresses for the life of the donation systems ...
- anonymous ... if you want to stay anonymous ... like i do ...
- amalgamated into one worker - no matter how many people mine ... which gives more processing power if miners were to mine all at once ...
the explanations and resons are all there in the thread - as well as the btc addresses - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-chainworks-industries-cwi-project-donate-by-mining-dbm-1089744 ... so it is a concentrated base of info ABOUT the devs as well ... at least as much info as they are willing to allow me to put on there ...
which means - with the setup the way it is - when the new multipools and setup is finished - it will make it an easier integration into the granite ecosystem and thefarm integration ...
anyone can donate anyway they like ... i just want to make it an easier way to do so - on a more regular basis ...
there are much more things happening behind the scenes also ... the upgrading of the servers is next - then the upgrade of the stratum proxy software ... and a specialized server for mining ONLY for the devs ...
mostly - its a way of trying to get the mining community together FOR the devs - not just for the USE of the devs products - and to make it as easy as possible to donate by mining ( dbm ) ... possibly even withthe devs coding the addresses INTO the miners for an easy switch to donate to them at the discretion of the miner themselves ... maybe even a command switch -dbm 25 ( donate by mining 25 minuts evenry 7 hours ) that can be added by the MINER and not forced by the dev - to the hardcoded addresses within the miner ...
that way - no hash goes astray - and it is at the miners discretion whether they wish to dbm for the dev and how mich hashrate they are willing to allow for the dev ... in the thread itself - it says that nicehash is CURRENTLY the sole site - but can change anytime ... so that more pools may added to maximize the hashing potential of the donations ... all this is done without the miners themselves fiddling with addresses settings ... just set it all once and your off ...
just ideas ...

I like this ideal of an optional donation switch in the miner.
