Could it be this simple?
Kano respects cgminer, and is proud of his role in forwarding the development of cgminer.
A modified cgminer is used in Jeff Garzik's Avalon with a closed-source device.
Jeff Garzik's Avalon crashes once per day and needs to be restarted. Memory leak? who knows.
Could it be that Kano simply has respect for how he feels cgminer should be, and Avalon should have tested before shipping?
Just a thought, but does that sound about right?
Yet, it doesn't actually flow with what Kano himself says.
He literally repeats what he has said already in the past.
Kano is a great programmer, I have little doubt on that. But he wants someone to butter his bread. When that someone says no, he goes into the samurai toting ninja you see above.
The last thing he is currently hiding behind is the release of the source code. Beyond that his attitude will stay much the same.
What do you think he would say of BFL if they sent him home without hardware? Or worse, asked him to actually pay for it?
Edit: The only thing I see is that Kano wants something and he approached it in all the wrong ways. Things didn't go well. bASIC folded. Avalon said No, BFL said yes.
He can hide behind "the source code has not been released" issue for a while longer. When it is released, his opinion won't change will it? I wonder why?
No, if you had even half a brain, you would have bothered to read the comments I made back then.
Anyone can see that I'm actually also saying that they don't really even need me to do it.
I have a habit of writing posts/PMs like that with too much info in them that can say, yes you don't need my help.
So just in case you have some deficiency that makes clicking on links and reading difficult, I'll quote it here:
Thirdly, hardware is required for proper support.
If you are going to support all the cgminer requests regarding your changes then that covers one part of it, but if we start getting support requests regarding the software and have no hardware to run it on, then at least some of those support requests are just going to be sent to you.
Every time changes go into cgminer, if we have no hardware to test the changes we can of course not be sure of the effect of those changes on different hardware.
Rarely will it be an issue, but when it is an issue, if we have no hardware, the answer is: well that's unfortunate.
I am stating the obvious, but I thought I better say it here anyway.
Now as most people already know: both BFL and bASIC are sending devs (us and others) hardware to get it working in time for release
(BFL has also stated they are flying me to the USA and yochdog across the USA to see their manufacturing and report to the community)
You seem to want to do the software yourself, but just realise that you may also end up being the ones to support it if only you have the hardware ...
As I said "I am stating the obvious" and I'd wonder where that quote says "You must send me an Avalon"
Feel free to point it out ... I can't see it and I can't remember saying it ...
That above is the quote that even BitSyncom calls
...
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.
My point was that I can't properly support it ... I thought it was pretty clear ... when I said
"Thirdly, hardware is required for proper support."
I guess the problem may be that I can magically provide support without hardware?
I don't know.
My statement was pretty clear saying that I can't provide support without hardware.
It wasn't a "you must send me hardware" it was "if I don't have hardware I can't support it"
That's like obvious ... as I said: "I am stating the obvious"
So pointing out the truth is now a reason for an Avalon tech guy to turn it into
... I'll reject you on sheer principle fucking level.
Yeah I'm not sure why you need to be a google expert to actually check your posts are true ... in your case yeah just misrepresent the facts and blame not being smart enough to use google ...
