I'm not sure it matters how many ways to donate we have. Miners seem to be way better at complaining than donating. I had my all of my GPUs pointed at broken soloing for nearly a week and have only received two donations (thanks again myagui and zTheWolfz!) since the fix went in. That's despite there being at least a half dozen people on here complaining about the issue. It really makes me wonder whether my time would be better spent fixing ccminer or teaming up with some of the kernel guys and doing something closed from scratch...
I did mention no one uses pool mining except for giant farms and they're unlikely to actually donate as they probably have their own devs they employ.
I also said that the miner would be better off with a miner fee split among developers or a company which could manage such things.
I will also, also point out the people who were complaining were mainly other devs.
Honestly I really don't understand this. It's like developers like putting themselves in the corner and then complaining about miners too. What's wrong with a mining fee? We've went over this multiple times. You could easily get paid for your work. You could even make it optional to test it out or a release candidate with miner improvements and a fee to see how it turns out.
It's already been done successfully with Claymore.
Sorry crowdfunding wrecks private miners.
Nicehash lyrav2 currently paying 2.6896btc ..Dropped to 0.50
Up to 0.9296 now..https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=miners&a=14&l=0
The top miner just switched from mining quark to lyra2v2 5,4 gigash all NVIDIA. I wonder if he is using the DJM-34 version or the sp-mod.
This farm is making 3.274 BTC a day on this adress..
Pretty good..
No donations to the developers.
If you release your faster lyra2v2 kernal djm34, he will upgrade and the profit will go away.
Massive hashrate...
equal to around 1300 750ti's @ 40watt (52,000 watt)
But I think this company has some older compute cards. So the power usage is probobly twice as much as the competition. And all the rigs are linux based.
Yeah, too bad there isn't a 2% miner fee attached to that... XD
Curiously why do so many devs hate the idea of a miner fee? I don't understand. No one has made a rational argument against it yet. Even Wolf (of all people) eventually agreed with me in this thread that it was a good idea. It supports the developers, it scales with hashing power, and it's something small miners can handle.
shall we point you to the numerous answer many of us have already answered that question ?
Sure, in light of you not providing one. zzzz...
BTW the SP miner is still getting 10% less hash rate compared to DJM's original release. The power fluctuates a lot on the SP version compared to the DJM version.
