There is a 30,000$ contest for an opensource GPU miner. many people are going to send their miners and I'm sure one of them is going to deliver a great product.

Claymore's miners are easy to use, well-designed and stable, but I still prefer an open source one.

$10k of that goes to the winning GPU miner, not all $30k

That's a fair stance. There are plenty of open source ETH miners available - but Claymore's still gets wide usage. Why? Because it is a superior product. The only reason I see him sitting on his hands with a Zcash miner is because it will pull hash away from his ETH miner - that's understandable since he's put a lot of effort into the dual ETH miner and wants a return. Just hoping he gets motivated to get on the Zcash train before too long!

The announced Zcash release date is just 18 days away and the community STILL does not have a GPU miner available. There have been some projects developing an open source miner, reports of a few private miners, and there is even a miner that is auctioning off hash from their rigs running their private miner.

With ETH's eventual transition to POS, there are A LOT of miners looking seriously at Zcash (me being one of them). I currently use Claymore's dual ETH/DCR miner and would definitely use a Zcash miner should he choose to release one. The 2% fee he charges would be no problem and I think a lot of others agree. It would ensure we get in the door early, reduce centralization (currently we have CPU miners pitted against privatized GPU mining software), and likely make Claymore beaucoup bucks.

Trying to get a gauge on how much of the mining community would use a Claymore Zcash miner for my own personal curiosity in addition to bringing it to Claymore's attention in the hopes to motivate him to begin work.

What do you all think?
