I have never believed the story that ewbf has copied someone or other miners, I'm sure that if he wants he can improve his miner without help from others.
I don't think anything will ever be proven, but correlations and inferences are your friend bro. EWBFs speed increases closely matched EQM to the T and now that EQM doesn't exist anymore there aren't any more speed increases, which is super suspicious. The last speed upgrade was right on par with the small speed upgrade EQM left before going open source. EWBF has offered no speed increases over EQM... ever, besides mining outside their service. The one time EWBF released first EQM was offering preview versions to their clients and I'm sure it got leaked as it was the same speed increase EQM offered a couple days later.
This isn't uncommon outside of cryptos or from the chinese who are great at ripping things off, you can believe what you want as always though.
I respect any opinion.
But, my first version was faster than their. then i start improve platform (miner code not solver). After a couple of day they make his miner faster, of cource i stop my work and start solver optimization to achieve more speed. And then this simply start to be a race, untill they not "finish" this race. Now we are close to hardware limits, here each a little step is incredibly complicated. Technically ~10% of improvements is still possibly, but algorithm not allow make this. This "hardware limits" is a memory speed and latency and at this moment they not allow gain more speed. Of course, the full story longer, but I hope that I have replied to this accusation.
Thank you for attention
Only version that was faster was .3b and that lasted a couple days before being replaced. As I mentioned, when they released it they had a pre-release version they were distributing to their VIPs I'm sure got leaked (I found a leaked copy so it wasn't that hard). EQM definitely released before EWBF with their first versions back in Nov.
Yup I understand you have to do rewrites time and again as you can't keep optimizing. It's definitely too much of a coincidence that your rewrites and speed increases closely matched theirs down to a couple %.
As far as speed increases go... pretty sure everyone would rather have more speed over features to further separate ourselves from AMD. You as a developer also make more the more speed we have.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I have always respected that. It does seem though that this is just an attack by 1 on another when no evidence is presented or the other side is making a claim. I think it should be dropped here. People benefit from speeds, he may charge a dev fee and we all have that right to use it or not. If someone creates something and wants to own it, they should create it in the right way that it cant be taken (not making any accusations here).
I don't really expect much from the average miner, you're no exception. 3/4 of what you said doesn't even make sense nor has any relation to what we were talking
It's actually pretty simple, most 8th graders could understand that you are making accusations and your story behind it. If you didn't have a concern for us "average miners" then why did you post it on here, pretty childish. No need to troll, if you have a legal concern do something legal about it.
It has nothing to do with legality, everything to do with reputation. People will continue using EWBFs miner and side with whoever gives them the most money, regardless of evidence. Even if the code was copied verbatim, it wouldn't matter to most people. However people should know when something is copied.
If you've been around the forums you should get the drift that copying other peoples work is frowned upon... Nothing childish about pointing out when someone copies someone elses work, especially when someone else dumps a lot of time, money, and effort into what they create. You're a dumbass.
"...and your story behind it."
Yup struggle to make a point. Next time at least make the effort to finish your line of thought before hitting period. If you think I randomly made up EWBFs and EQMs release dates in addition to improvements in their miners, you can easily check both threads. It's so easy even a 8th grader could understand it... hue hue hue. -_-
