SP rarely makes versions for nix, he's mentioned that and we've talked about that numerous times over this thread. That issue in particular has come up of and on over the last few years. There is no way you searched the thread and didn't find any information on that.
Ignorance is bliss bro.
I have sold the sourcecode with linux support. Tried it with my decred modded kernels. My kernels where 10-15% faster as usual, but after I sold the sourcecode the opensource got much bether just a few days later. Blake constmem precalc trick.
I am happy with "ccminer all alexis algos optimized". I do this for fun and not for profit.
To bad djm34 has quit. He is a legend. And a good teacher
Yup...
And DJM and Epsylon are both very good coders. It is a shame that DJM quit and Epsylon really doesn't do much anymore. DJM complained about unfair payments (not enough donations) and Epsylon laments about not getting enough, meanwhile Claymore and EWBF are making fists full of money with a miner fee, which I've tried to perpetuate numerous times.
Talked multiple times about a fee based miner that multiple coders worked on or a business, no one has done it. I understand developers don't want to take time to implement something that isn't basically just optimizing kernels, but it's kinda silly that people complained about things that can be changed. I don't have the expertise to start a coding company nor the capital, but I'm sure someone else does. No one has stepped up. The closest thing we've gotten is Nicehash, and EWBF went and basically copied their shit so we probably wont see that again (and yes notice how we haven't gotten any speedups since Nicehash stopped?). Pretty much sold on EWBF copying their work, even if it's not verbatim it doesn't matter... all the coders know that too.
Protecting IP takes work too, also need someone that's good at that to make things work. It's really a shame Claymore is a one man operation. He seems to have the expertise with everything and really would be nice if his works expanded to everything else.
Someday. My operation hasn't grown enough before the eth-babies caught up (and megacorps) and now it's basically fighting against them. We'll need another culling to deal with the kids before we'll have massive expansion again. Coins like Ethereum and Zcash don't come around every day. There are other side coins that need work, once again a company would be great here to help expand on the fringe coins and algos (x11-gost for instance), but it's just not happening.
I have lots of great ideas, just not the capital to move on with them. Ethereum grew too much and ruined mining for the moment.
