Claymore, do you feel you are entitled to rip / use other people's code in your miner?

Ouch! Claymore could have just included the copyright notice and there wouldn't have been any problems...
silentarmy's optimization is actually pretty clever, and the original author definitely deserves a credit.

This makes you wonder how much of other people's code Claymore steals without giving credit.
Other of his binaries are "packed" to avoid disassembling. Gee, I wonder what he is hiding.

If the binary is easy to disassemble, it would be easy for someone to take out the dev fee, and then he wouldn't get paid, and have reason to make us great miners. There is this guy that sells private miners, AND after you buy it, you have a crazy high dev fee on top of that. Lets all pay him instead!!!
