It spells "devs" D E V S
while tards is rather spelled "bensam123" which can also be spelled "troll"

but thanks anyway Grin

ps: and you wonder why we don't want to sell to you Grin

Beautiful come back, totally addressed the argument and the situation and made a witty retort... /golfclap

You don't sell to anyone! You've already mentioned that. And by 'we' you mean you and Wolf0. You don't even sell anything, so that doesn't even matter. Wolf0 basically just sells AMD stuff and doesn't market Nvidia kernels (at least from what I've seen).

That's kinda the problem... Lack of kernels to buy. A open market would help with that.

An open market wouldn't help. Same issues as there are now.

DJM34 is releasing the sourcecode of the optimized neoscrypt kernal for a small donation. Please support him. here is the thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1317772.0

So is there a escrow or some sort of service that will hang onto the BTC until the goal is met and return it if it isn't? I'd definitely donate .1 if this is like Kickstarter, but if it's not and we just get screwed at the end of the donation goal if it's not met, I'm not too keen on that.

That aside, this probably means Nicehash was unwilling to pay him the full amount for a Neoscrypt miner because they didn't consider it worth it and he's attempting to make more then Nicehash is willing to pay for his optimizations. Food for thought as far as greed goes or am I supposed to worship him for even offering any such 'deal'?

Haha, got to admit. I think you're dead-on with that last part there :p

I'm actually guessing that he has a set amount that Nicehash is already willing to pay him and he will release the code no matter what, but this is an attempt to get even more money out of things and Nicehash has agreed to give him a time period to raise money as well, as he doesn't mention anywhere how much Nicehash is willing to pay him and how much we need to 'fill in' for Nicehash.

If he used a all-or-nothing funding service like Kickstarter, but for bitcoin or a escrow service so we get money back if he doesn't release it I would totally help chip in. I haven't found anything like that though.

As far as a open market goes. I think it would. There isn't a marketplace to sell kernels and the devs always appear to think they'll get ripped off in someway, none of them seem to be interested in actually making a place to sell their stuff too (like a thread). A open market would also attract competition if they see how much people are selling things for.

Although I don't have the resources of Nicehash, someone would have to commission a 'lockbox' miner system, where kernels could be safely inserted into it and are much less likely to be reverse engineered or the devs will bitch.
