...
also, open source =/= support.
Exactly ... but your words also exactly were:
...
You are pissed off because we haven't got around to release source code yet or the fact we did not giving you a free unit?
So you consider sending someone hardware and they having to do software code and general support for who knows how long? A year? as
freeI've no fucking idea what part of NewYork you live in and what people there think, but I do wonder what things you require that you consider people should do for you that you consider worth nothing.
I also will note that you got Xiangfu to do the driver software development but did
NOT give him an Avalon.
I wonder if he got ripped off with what you paid him for that ...
An Avalon is only $1300 retail ...
Though I will point out for others, that you did
NOT get the cgminer source for
free.
It came with the GPL license requirements.

So you are making up things now?
No you are lying.

22:31 < xiangfu> conman: thanks to the cgminer. and I even don't have one. :)
I've no fucking idea what part of NewYork you live in and what people there think, but I do wonder what things you require that you consider people should do for you that you consider worth nothing.
and I have no idea where you got the impression we are asking you to do software code and general support for Avalon. As with all open source things, those who wish to support it can do so. This is not something we are entitled to have, nor something you are required to do.
It's your choice to support and it is Avalon's choice to decide who gets free units and other perks.
If you had purchased this unit much like many other developers of bitcoin, and/or bitcoin related projects I may have given discounts, priority shipping and other various bonus which you will no doubt have qualified for.
... and I have no idea where I have EVER said ANYWHERE on this forum what you are implying.
You are making up shit to try and cover yourself. Fuck off.
I have never expected to receive ANY hardware from anyone for free.
I've only expected that if someone did send me hardware that they would be wanting me to support it.
AS I ALREADY DID WITH THE ICARUS
Your trying to turn this into crap that it isn't - what are you hiding?
Yes I do understand your choice to ignore the software developers of the code you've used.
I knew that last year ... I was told it on 31-Dec
But if you are going to come into my thread a year ago stating on how every other ASIC manufacture has been given developers free units so they may support their hardware and if I and Avalon choose not to do this you will not provide support then I'll reject you on sheer principle fucking level.
Good day.
Good for you - that's your principle.
Though I'd like to see the quote you are implying ... ... ... ...
