windows miner exe
so are you claiming no one else compiled the windows miner on their own?
There is no evidence either way, so let's not speculate. Clearly when people talk about Windows builds being available for launch they are talking about compiled, since most Windows users, unlike Linux users, don't have compilers or know how to use them.
The only one I recall who explicitly reported compiling it said that it didn't work, prompting Evan to make an emergency update (I'm not referring to the guy with the compile error due to his own mistake; the other one). This too was after the launch.
apology accepted

and it was before the relaunch btw, saying it was after the launch is playing word games and trying to spread fud.
That's incorrect, all of the posts I quoted above were after the
relaunch.
you're also trying to make it look like the guy with the "bazillion rejects" was evans fault and conveniently left out the full story
Immediately after that Evan posts about an emergency update. I thought it was related but maybe not. I'm not really sure.
i just reread the thread and have no idea who this other person you are talking about having compiling problems is.
This one:
update doesn't compile:
init.cpp:745:15: error: operator '!' has no right operand
(That particular error seems to have been the posters fault, not Evan's)
