I remember when ck's signature read to the effect 'only ignoring luke jr.'
That's when I tried to figure out who's who or what around here and I came to the conclusion that jr. guy was some sort of a jesus freak who also happened to 'pick up' on ck's early open source? miner and bend it to his liking. This is my current understanding.
To the point, jesus freaks aren't supposed to steal and cheat. This too is my current understanding.
And he's still the only person on my ignore list. Unfortunately in that time the landscape has changed so much and so many people have moved on and newcomers replaced them that the reason for the argument is not known by many of the current people in the bitcoin world - most people think it's a simple matter of "why don't you just make up and be friends?". But search enough and the history on the internet doesn't lie about where source code came from, who wrote it first, what claims were made, and how ridiculous he was, is and will continue to be. Then one can understand why that is not a solution. The biggest continuing problem is I try to remain out of the arguments, but in this world if you don't defend yourself, then people just end up believing the person who shouts loudest and longest and silence is assumed as guilt through being unable to defend oneself. Kano enjoys such fights and I have him to thank for defending when the trolling resurfaces (as it often does). I have no time for them...
Things were more interesting then.
I had a
Lot to learn and learn it quick. How to make it work, not necessarily understand it.
Now I learn a little less quickly and without the urgency.
BUT, to stir up the pot only one last time I promise, and I hope LJr. doesn't find this and send a jihad my way.
One admission and I'm embarrassed, CGMiner let me down back in block erupter days. I really think you didn't give much of a hoot, probably because you were busy AND you recognized that this phenomenon would only last 2 or 3 months. I'd think the same if I could have. But bfg did allow me to light up my table top and it was cool to watch the leds sweep across the surface.
So my big point? I lost it. Why does anyone think that bfg is a superior miner and why do they use it.
Everyone from bitmain to bitminor grabs CGminer and incorporates it. Who grabs bfg?
If the better answer is simply 'you got fords and you got chevy's, that's OK and palatable enough for me.
This tape will self destruct in 5 seconds.
