Luke-jr may be wrong on Litecoins but you should all respect him and not badmouth him (Radacoin). Have you read the #bitcoin-dev log from the March 11/March 12 hardfork event?? Luke-jr was the guy taking the lead on the solution. He is the reason that you are still wealthy if any of you were smart enough to buy BTC at low prices! A thank you would be in order.

Luke-jr is also the guy who maintain the bitcoin gentoo ebuild, and cgminer is the best miner I found ( and I use it for mining LTC ).

I dont agree with him concerning litecoin, but I think we should all respect him for all his good work. Litecoin user or not we all need bitcoin, and luke is a useful guy in the community.

Everyone is allowed to have an opinion in this community ! Lets all try to stay civil !

Er, cgminer is done by ckolivas. Luke-jr is responsible for BFGMiner. BFGMiner is a fork of cgminer, but Luke-jr is now trying to claim that cgminer has forked BFGMiner for trolling reasons. I'm not even making that up, go check out his post about it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.msg1758702#msg1758702

This is the one where he himself said it was a fork when he did the fork ... and changed the donation address from ckolivas to himself ...

He also recently moved his name to the top of the AUTHORS file ... lulz

The most amusing part about that is how much code he still copies from cgminer for his releases.

The litecoin C code in cgminer was written by ckolivas and copied to the clone.
