Anyone else notice that crypto_zoidberg logged in again today? Hello!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=170073

I'm here, no worries.

Btw, i was told that Wolf complained about me on #monero chanel, well, just to put light on it, if someone interested what happend:

We were looking for someone to make x11 GPU miner, both for OpenCL and CUDA, as he is well known as a good developer for such things, i offered him to do that.
Here was my offer:

We finally need code for both platforms(Linux&Windows) OpenCL and CUDA implementations.
It could be not perfect implementations, but it should work fine with Clintar's pool.
Ready pay 600$ for everything, including testing on pool and easy HOWTO use/build.
Zoidberg

And here is his answer:

Very well. My GitHub name is wolf9466. The current Bitstamp BTC price is $227.88; I'll round up to $228. Send half to me to start, half on completion. If the BTC price changes by more than 15%, up OR down, the remaining payment is to be re-negotiated.

He was prepaid with $487 out of the $600(even more then he asked) and the deal was to have finally done both opencl and cuda miners. Since for Opencl there was not much work there(cz it was already public implementation of it), so ive made a deal with him to make both miners working, even without optimizations.

That talk happend at 1-st of September!
He hang us for more then 2 months and finaly said then he is not going to make CUDA, i have to hire some one else.
Well, then i asked him to return money, since he failed to finish contract in my opinion, despite the fact that he adapt opencl version to cryptonote block size (Mostly i wanted to return money because of wasted a lot of our time actually)

All our communication made in bitcointalk pm, so it's could be validated by sysadmins if someones cares.

You can say that i'm wrong in some way, but according to my standarts if you applied for job and got prepayment, and then gave up - you should return prepayment, and also say "sorry for your lost time" to your employer, in case there was no other conditions.

Zoidberg.

I did offer to return 487 - 300 = 187 USD. Because that's fair.

Also, here is what he said to me:

The deal conditions was both working and tested miner.
We didn't talk about half work - half price.

We've lost time while i was wating you, and you managed to quit.
So please, refund money that i paid you forward, if you care about your reputation.

Zoidberg.

I can't test at all currently due to Clintar's pool not accepting the Stratum auth...

Man, is there any hope you to get finished the job ? Or i need to hire someone else ?

It's long time actually gone...

Zoidberg

You can hire someone else. I'm sorry - I just can't get it to work.

But you already took half of the money, since you managed to quit, can you return it ?

Zoidberg

I also gave you a working sgminer, remember?

Honestly, I should say I would have returned the 187 USD if he hadn't fucking tried to threaten me, but you know what, I'll return it anyways.

CZ may also be kinda saying that, if you were older you would probably do this one for free

I might add that, do not everything that one wishes happens in life, unless one wish for something too hard. Have fun on holidays, but do your magic after New year if you would. You have a knowledge to have all goodies of life, just don't rush it mate.

Wouldn't the first iteration of OS FPGA miner kinda create an market?
