Yup, actually went and looked it up... You can charge for it, whether it's private or open. So CCminer could easily add a fee to it and it wouldn't violate a GNU license as long as a source is included (which goes for private and public versions, private miners are required to provide source if they're built off of any GNU licensed material). DJM was spouting BS and I followed along with it without reading through the entire license agreement (my bad for believing DJM knew what he was talking about).

So there is no problem with adding a fee to CCminer, it doesn't violate a GNU license. So by all means SP, fee away dude.

Great. Going step by step to the point. The point is that GPL license was created by very bright people, clever enough not to prohibit something that can not be enforced: distribution of binaries over private channels without source code. You can assume that I'm asking djm34: "Hay djm, please look at this source code, please compile and make it faster for me, I will pay You 10BTC.
you got a deal  Grin Grin


actually the article says clearly than in case of public distribution of the binaries the code has to be given on request... (hence our concerns)

I don't need source code and I will not publish binaries, because I know that I will have to publish source code too, that costs 100BTC to buy it from You. Thank You." No license break.

The GPL is older than a lot of people in this forum.

Before continuing Your accusations, please provide GPL license text that is violated when sending binaries over private channels. You can assume that user is asking and paying developer to make better code for him from open source code. Can You make citation from GPL license that is broken with this?

Oh yeah? He's making better open source code, so he can then open source it? Using a loophole doesn't make it right. You're not supposed to be able to profit off other persons open work without their permission, that's the way it works. Just because you do it in private doesn't mean you aren't violating it. It's like doing something illegal profit still makes it illegal even if you more then likely wont get caught.


Your freewill understanding of GPL license doesn't count at all. If You can not provide citation of GPL license that is broken with before mentioned case than You should stop Your false accusations.

 DJM was spouting BS and I followed along with it without reading through the entire license agreement (my bad for believing DJM knew what he was talking about).
Don't project your own behavior on others  Grin
Can you tell me how long would stay a fee in an open-source code ? (hence the reason why it needs to be closed source... and most likely crypted... hence might violate licence agreements... I guess I will probably have to explain you this over the next 2 or 3 months...  Roll Eyes)

ps: If I spout BS this is as an amateur, you clearly have the world record... (and don't worry, your record is safe, I have no intention to become pro and compete with you... not that there is any chance to beat you...)  


edit: the article is interesting though...

I wouldn't go ham on that one, 1.07 BTC could dump the price to 30 satoshis because that's all the buy support that exists for that coin (https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-J).

Agreed. But since everybody is mining the wellknown algos, there are small blockchains out there that can be mined with a good profit with little hardware. 1 year ago we had several multipools wich dumped all the coin they generated for BTC. With most of the multipools gone, there are some possibilities for the satoshi hunters Smiley

That is the main reason why I have ROI well below a year; mining coins under the radar of multipools and plug&play miners. You should have just put a couple of cards solomining it so its market could absorb your selloff long term. Now it will probably get dumped though.

JOINCOIN--

I can't find a wallet for JoinCoin.  It is off the web, unless you compile it.  Windows only!       --scryptr

probably got broken when Vanilla was released... not a big deal to fix though...
(most likely not using the correct constant... or something like that...)
btw: whirlcoin is kinda dead (was never alive actually...)

yes, but the algo is being used in other coins. Joincoin is one of them.

With one rig of 6 750ti's you will have half of the global net hashrate of joincoin-whirlpool

Joincoin is $0.06 a piece and 9600 coins are generated every day. (576$)

I am working on an optimized whirlcoin miner. But the old DJM-34 miner doesn't seem to work on the pool.

ccminer -a whirlcoin -o stratum+tcp://stratum.coinspool.cu.cc:3048 -u -p x

lots of low difficulty shares.

Anybody know how to set the --diff parameter?


Perhaps the pool is broken

I have added it now to github. The Whirlcoin algo is doing over 15MHASH on the 970 with overclocking. (run with -a whirl)
Does somebody have the time to solomine joincoin - whirlpool

The diff is really low at around 8.

Should do around 15MHASH on the 970 oc.


1 year ago the whirlpool algo was doing less on the gtx 980: (Hashrates before the sp-mod project)



My modded code will turn your 970 card into a 980 when mining whirlpool Smiley



And here is DJM-34's original version
