BFGMiner (St. Barbara's FPGA/GPU Miner) 3.0 will be featuring and refocussing on ASICs.
Therefore, the original name no longer really fits anymore.

Since I can't think of any obvious fit, I've decided to have a little contest to see if anyone can come up with a new name for it.
Bonus points if you can make it elegantly fit the current "BFGMiner" abbreviation-name by simply redefining "F" and "G". Smiley

If I use your suggestion, there will be a Bitcoin reward.
The exact amount will be based on how good I think it works, but probably 200 - 600 TBC (about 0.33 - 1 BTC).

Dear Mr. Vernon,

We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is that we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is . . .
a brain.
And an athlete.
And a basket case.
A princess.
And a criminal.

Does that answer your question?

Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club.

PS:  call it

There is no reference to her in the authentic early Christian writings, nor in the original recension of Saint Jerome's martyrology.

Did it ever fit?

What the hell is up with you Luke-Jr, using the tonal system is complicating things for nothing. Nothing.
How is confusing newcomers/everyone doing anything good?

Obviously US dollars work fine, so we should all just keep using that.

(reality: there is more to gain from tonal adoption, than from bitcoin adoption)

Sorry, I didn't know you had 16 fingers.
I will now stop spamming this thread.

What about simply AFGMiner ... ASIC/FPGA/GPU Miner ?

Of maybe even better just AFMiner ... ASIC/FPGA Miner assuming that GPU will join CPU on the idle bench of mining ..

You know..  When i saw the name BFGMiner - my mind went back to the days of DOOM and the BFG - i just assumed it was modeled after that in terms of power and capability..

At the risk of being cliche - i guess i would suggest:  Big Effin' Gun Miner..

But i am probably not serious.  Or likely to be taken that way.

But its later and my brains fried so...
