I think you don't understand the license if you think you can profit off someones work as long as it's not 'public'. It still counts, its just not enforceable in anyway unless someone who receives the miner initiates it. When they talk about 'private work' that means you don't share it with anyone, not you don't share it with anyone publicly. Open licensing mainly refers to profiting off other peoples work though. That still happens even if it's not public, developers with private miners who sell them are already violating the open license, but this obviously isn't their area of forte, the only reason it's come up recently is because people are looking to use it as a excuse.
As I mentioned already, it's pretty easy to include more people with a fee schedule and this is a non-issue as this sort of stuff happens all the time in the mining community. No one is going to sue anyone else, nothing is going to happen, especially if you include all the main parties that created the work... That's mainly where I think people starting to poopoo on this. If DJM doesn't get any bit of the L2V2 fees, even though he developed most of the work for the initial miner. All of that could easily be programmed in, it's just someones address, or it could divy it up on the receiving end of the payments, which would probably be easiest.
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.
All of that could easily be programmed in, it's just someones address, or it could divy it up on the receiving end of the payments, which would probably be easiest.
easily programmed, this is where you are wrong (and I am not speaking about the logic)... it isn't easy at all in the sense you cannot just put an address and get the coins, you need to gives address/username/password for every single pool and every single coin.
For solo, it can't even work (at least not with getwork), I think it is possible to do something with gbt though...
Cause using a BTC address on nicehash is hard (or conversely for more flexibility use a proxy you can point wherever). I think you're grossly overestimating the amount of work here to try and make a point. Receiving address splits up end day, week, or whatever you want based on the fee schedule. Very easy to do and program. All it has to do is mine 2 out of 100 shares on Nicehash using the current algorithm that the user has selected.
If I can make a batfile that changes addresses for me, I assume you can do this in code.

750Ti without power, steel risers burn through 12+ volts
Buy powered risers (they can still be the ribbon ones). Look into cutting the power cables on the risers if you have problems with power. The powered risers work fine despite what Myagui said. Unpowered ones lead to what you just saw.
Powered USB-type risers do not have the input PCIe power pins connected, they have an external power port on the riser itself, usually a SATA or MOLEX connector. This way, both riser and card get all power feeding directly from the PSU, and nothing out of the motherboard.
These risers kill 2 birds with one stone:
You're not using high power over a flat ribbon cable -
which is a serious fire hazard btw -, and you're not using power off the motherboard PCIe slots, so you can use whatever motherboard you want, and not just the specialty flavors. In both aspects, it is much better (and safer) to have all power drawn straight off the PSU.
Motherboards with extra PCIe power are a waste in my mind, since you cannot fill-up all PCIe slots without using risers. And as soon as you need to use risers, go with powered ones, or
go home.
The ones I bought still tried to get power through the motherboard. I'd advise testing this as they aren't all created equal.
Pretty sure he's talking about the hardware setup. I've tried the PCI-E switches too and they don't work. Software side I've already found answers too, but on the hardware side you have to use clustering hardware which is really expensive from what I've seen.
Edit: Nevermind, he's using a realllllly expensive motherboard. Still cool though.
