Please, try to understand that we will opensource all the jobs and miners will be able to use these improvements elsewhere, so it is not only exclusive work for us, but for community too. We do not benefit so much as for example, if we had closed source miner that could be used only on NiceHash.
in that case, your bounties are rather small...
I would like to pay you 2 BTC to make an opensource quark miner that does 45MHASH on the 980ti. (50%) faster. This is not a JOKE. This is a real offer.
If nicehash is also paying 2BTC you get 4BTC.
is it even possible ? (I mean one can't increase the hashrate to infinity...)
Also I never looked much into quark because an other dev was already working on it (ie yourself...) and was working on other things as well.
Quark highly unlikely, except if you manage to throw out 1/3 of instructions.
But algorithm like X11 is seriously underpowered on CUDA and this is where we have our interests in.
It also depends which GPUs do benefit. A kernel (and settings) optimized for broad specter of Maxwell cards (not only 750 ti and 970, but also for 950, 960, 980, 980ti and titan) is of course worth more.
and this is why i have been requesting this for months and months - even as a paid private miner - yet to no avail ...
considering what you propose as private deal, you expect slavery
o i see djm34 ..
so a base of 0.5btc and 25% of thefarm ( a minimum of 25 gigabyte 750ti oc lp cards - currently 34 cards and continuously growing ) for 90 days is slavery? ...
thats an offer djm34 - NOT slavery ... 1.5BTC per algo ( 4.5BTC total for three algos ) that do not do much more than the public miners is NOT what i call a deal ... especially if i am to tie up thefarm ( and anytime thefarm increases ) for basically 3 months ... that will total a lot more than 4.5btc ...
if thats what you call slavery - then you value yourself MUCH more than i value you expertise ( and i really DO value and respect your expertise - but not that much ) ...
thefarm is capable of doing a LOT more with the right dev ...
all you had to say was no - or no thanks ... not call me a 'douche' - especially after all i have been trying to do for you and the other devs ... respect is earned my friend - not bought ...
slavery in your eyes - and good deal in mine ... thats all it is ...
but tanx for your input once again djm34 ...
respect for your expertise and skill still remains ... but respect in any other direction has fallen by the wayside ...
and for this reason alone - i am disinterested in the greed of devs or miners alike ... greed is NOT good - but destructive ...
i would have loved to have you onboard - but respect plays a major part with dealing with me ...
thefarm would have been at your beckon call - no matter how big it got ... but you want no part in it ... thats fine ...
but try and be respectful to those that offer you work - no matter how small you think the deal may be ... because one day - you may well be the one on the other side of the boot ... and it may just be the 'douche' that calls the shots ...
one day - just maybe ...
