Like a sizeable number of people on the forum, I have merit coz theymos gave it to all the highly active and highly ranked people on the forum.
My pool thread is one of the highest post counts and post views on the forum back then (and still now)
Sorry to tell you that everyone that was barely active before the merit airdrop which took a place a few years back got the same amount of 'airdropped' merit as you, which includes all the scammers and spammers.
How is that in any way relevant. So what. Nothing new there.
You're the idiot telling me how I must be using this merit that you just pointed out was given to spammers, scammers and just about anyone, trying to make it sound next to worthless - lol
CK locked me out of the cgminer git, which I've been working on since 2011, and locked me out of the ckpool git, which I am the majority developer of.
Ya, maybe because you can't really blend in well with others? did he just decide to lock you for no reason? unless he is mentally unstable I don't think he would do so, but either way regardless of that, you could still continue on on your own and provide new firmware that matches the current custom firmware, getting lockout of ck's owned git is not an excuse of why you let a few newcomers beat you at your own game.
You say "maybe" "I don't think" ... well good on you - but you are wrong.
No where did I say it was an excuse, yet again you're rambling bullshit, or don't you even understand English?
His community involvement has been to disassociate himself from it as I clearly explained.
Mine has been to continue my involvement.
If for some reason you decide that the "game" you want me to play is not what I am doing, well that's your problem.
You brag about being in this field long before most of us, but what is the outcome? Vnish who probably didn't hear of crypto until it was talked about on TV now has firmware running on hundreds of thousands if not millions of gears, the same goes for Slush folks, how many gears run your own complete ready-to-flash firmware? ZERO.
It's not a brag, it's a fact.
Right, and yet they all include software I wrote - and software
MANY other people wrote.
Oh well, damn shame about that hey.
Even more fun to know, I provided the free gekko driver to the community, for the amazing high cost of ... 1 gekko miner ... that was necessary to write the driver, you can't write a driver without having the miner.
That's so nice of you, but come on, who uses those USB sticks? just a couple of hobbyists who barely make any profit
Wow - you are so full of shit, it's so funny.
You don't even know the reality.
You go on about community, but then directly imply these USB miners are a waste of time.
You are implying people should only be dealing with the big companies, not the community - lol
, why not compete against custom firmware on actual ASICs like S 9/17/19 if you actually want to be paid for your efforts? we pay 2-3% on firmware fees for BO+ and Vnish, i am sure most people will be happy paying you the same fee or if it was a fee-less firmware you would still get large donations, I will be the first one to do so.
When did I say I wanted to be paid?
AND Why do I have to do what you keep saying I must do?
I'm replying here coz I'm sick of the bullshit based on
ignorance you keep posting and the shit you keep posting about what you say I should be doing.
Have you ever thought that nagging about the closed-source firmware which some of them violate your license actually gets you nowhere and that the best thing to do would be to actually compete against them?
Have you ever thought that what you want me to do is irrelevant?
I post about the violation of the license when new threads come up about it and sometimes when new discussion comes up about it.
Oh well, you don't like that, damn shame.
Your the one who brought up the bullshit claims about 'community' and even again in this last post it is full of crap.
If it wasn't for the fact that you are given so much merit to hand out on the forum, I'd just ignore all this rubbish you post.
The problem is people see your name all over the place giving out merit, so some probably read this bullshit you post, so I've followed up pointing out it is bullshit.
