I'm not sure it matters how many ways to donate we have. Miners seem to be way better at complaining than donating. I had my all of my GPUs pointed at broken soloing for nearly a week and have only received two donations (thanks again myagui and zTheWolfz!) since the fix went in. That's despite there being at least a half dozen people on here complaining about the issue. It really makes me wonder whether my time would be better spent fixing ccminer or teaming up with some of the kernel guys and doing something closed from scratch...
I did mention no one uses pool mining except for giant farms and they're unlikely to actually donate as they probably have their own devs they employ.
I also said that the miner would be better off with a miner fee split among developers or a company which could manage such things.
I will also, also point out the people who were complaining were mainly other devs.
Honestly I really don't understand this. It's like developers like putting themselves in the corner and then complaining about miners too. What's wrong with a mining fee? We've went over this multiple times. You could easily get paid for your work. You could even make it optional to test it out or a release candidate with miner improvements and a fee to see how it turns out.
It's already been done successfully with Claymore.
you sound like a broken record bensam...
