Re: Bounty for Open-Sourced XMR/Cryptonight GPU Miner Bounties Thread
Hello All. I am ready to pay 2 BTC (1000 XMR) for open sourced AMD miner with equal to Claymore CryptoNote GPU Miner v9.3 performance.
Equal to Claymore's probably isn't an easy feat... if you lowered the threshold a bit, you might find some takers.
or increased the bounty? ...

This works, too.
Personally, I'd be a little more inclined to work on a somewhat easier bounty for somewhat less coin.
Something worth noting, even if you happened to have a equivalent hashrate to Claymore, it still wouldn't be worth mining compared to Neo, Quark, or x11. This is purely for securing the network against botminers unless I'm mistaken. For those of you that care about such things.
But if monero price will rise, open sourced nvidia and amd software (with good performance) will be big plus for miners, which can switch from "Neo, Quark, or x11" to mining monero with its hardware (just compile and run or use compiled version). And it will result in overall network hasrate and monero security. Some miners don't use Proprietary soft for some reasons. I think it's better to have open sourced AMD miner than not to have.
