Much appreciated, thank you. This way the original post thread with all its information and legacy can remain intact as well as sorting out trolling issues.
Trolling issues?
You can see an example with some of the discussion from here onwards:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4869039Some posts were deleted, but basically, when I don't support people's own agendas, they suddenly turn on me because they can't accept that I don't care about what they care about (basically all altcoin support).
This thread also has a long history of being trolled by Luke-Jr and his minions since he decided to create a hostile fork of cgminer and then claim that through some bizarre illogical reasoning that cgminer was the fork due to him contributing some code to cgminer. He then aggressively modified wiki posts saying cgminer was deprecated and then posted on various linux distribution threads that cgminer was the fork and so on... He's since proceeded to pull much of my code into his hostile fork and continued to claim that cgminer is the fork, even though virtually no code in cgminer comes from his fork, but thousands of lines of code from cgminer has been - and is continued to be - pulled into his fork.
Part of the reason he forked it was that I reverted some of his code because it was buggy and broken, but more importantly, I originally planned to abandon cgminer when FPGAs were taking over, because they made no sense over GPUs - and he assumed he'd become the maintainer for cgminer - but then ASICs hit and I changed my mind and continued to develop cgminer around ASICs and that's when he decided to create his hostile fork.
