well their competition it's already dead because EWBF provide already a pool unlocked miner, so i see no point for them to keep their version closed source
Because they're incapable of improving their miner, just like EWBF can't either? Your logic sometimes really blows my mind. When you open source something everyone adopts whatever makes your miner better into theirs.
you clearly didn't understand my point, i repeat, there is no point in them having their miner closed source when there is already another oen with almost the same speed that can mine on any pool
they have understood this finally
You realize they have been the ones releasing faster versions first right? You could just as easily say 'because Nicehash continually releases a faster miner, you should open source yours' to EWBF. Conversely then Nicehash coders would adopt EWBFs code.
The whole reason it's closed source is so someone doesn't copy their code. Whether or not they can or can't mine on all pools is independent of the coding effort put into it.
I understood your point perfectly, it's just dumb and doesn't really make sense when it comes to IP.
[WARNING]
EWBF is fake. He is using our EQM to make 2% fee on it.
He is always one step behind as you may noticed.
It is sad, because we have paid big bucks for the EQM's source, just to protect our miners from the dev fee. And here we go again, a dev fee. He is not a Robin Hood, he is practically leasing our miner for a 2% dev fee! Is this something you support? I would understand he would stole it and release the source, but no. He is egoistic like that.
Actions like this are delaying our miner development and its quality.
STOP using his software or ask him to release HIS source first.
Really? How can you know and do you have any proof? I've been using his miner but I'll stop using it if it's really stolen.
I've thought something similar for some time. You can tear apart someones code even if they don't give you the source unless it's encrypted and even then you can possibly do it. Wolf was talking about tearing apart Claymore's in his thread.
But yeah, proof needs to be offered in this case. EWBF did have a faster miner then Nicehash for like a week, I think that adds merit as well (I believe it was .3?)
Completely putting aside protecting the actual IP with coding, you guys could look at this from a objective standpoint too. Only reason people are using his miner is due to a 2% dev fee and you can use it with other pools. You could do the same thing with your miner (or fee free on Nicehash) and there would be no point in using his miner.
