The prize is $10000 for each miner and it has to be open source. Good luck getting Claymore involved... Grin

That amount of $10,000 is too low for Claymore. I believe that he earned hundreds of thousands from his miners.

There are countless people who will compete for the development, he's not the god of miners.

Don't recall raising Claymore to deity status, perhaps I was drunk and forgot about that post...

The fact is, he has done well with ETH and XMR miners. No reason to believe he wouldn't build a competitive / enhanced miner for equihash (Zcash) as well.

As of now, there are no publicly available GPU miners for this algo. So a 99% dev fee would be better than what is available..

I guess the real money these days is not with miners but miner developers.

The only person I've seen speak publicly is JW (Genoil), and he has said he gets minimal donations. I suspect Claymore makes enough to live off from the dev fee. Comments by Wolf suggests he is living off miner development income, but not making as much as a full-time software developer would make where he lives (somewhere in the US, I think).

Yep, but I have no problem with a dev fee. Didn't bother me with ETH, won't bother me with Zcash!

eh you can't have both, if it is open source, a fee will be useless

Don't know if I am explaining this well enough - of course Claymore would be closed source with a dev fee like his other miners. He wouldn't qualify for the "Open Source miner contest" if he used his to-date business model.

yes but what would be the point in using it? if it is no faster than his own fee, or it's not adding dual mining...

The slow roll in rewards might not make it that big of a deal to get in early or not. But the forced scarcity may create some great selling opportunities for early mined coin. I'm wanting to get in from the start.

I would definitely mine a few coins.
Zcash is interesting.
It has a lot of hype right now and its probably a good idea to get at least a few coins early.

He already commented, said he is waiting until its released first.

The real mining of that coin won't start until mid to end of November due to the low rewards ramp-up. So we have plenty of time.

prize $ & devfee, no happy, i vote for w0lf !

It would have to be open source to get the prize. That is not likely for a dev fee miner.

zcoin too mr. claymore

it is still a cpu mineable coin....

and take a look at pascal coin too, there is already nvdia miner..we need amd miner.

Hoping AMD since those are all I own. But I suppose that is up to the miner code.
