Obviously you simply envy sp. But what are you trying to do? If you don't want to buy something go ahead to another store!
Envy could be some bad coder, but I'm not at all (not a coder). I simply don't like liars.
And i'm doing good job for sp_ buyers. Being caught sp_ will be forced to do some real job, real improvements. Or at least less people will buy his slow mods being fooled by his advertisements (like myr_gr, skunk, skein...)
That sucks. Guess what happens when you own a business? You don't always get to pick who you want to associate with. In this case you can't code, you have to steal SPs mods (which is morally questionable in and of itself when you apparently don't like 'liars'), and there aren't alternative miners. Matter of a fact if SP wasn't making these mods there would be some guy in a back room who buys a miner off another guy for those very same improvements and I can guarantee you GPL compliance is very far from their mind.
It would be great if SP was GPL code complaint and made everyone in the world happy and we all held hands and sang kom ba yah around the fire, but that's not how it works. Cryptos are one of the most cutthroat legal business occupations and you're going to play the moral high ground. Once you lose your entire investment you'll start to question how you do things. '17 is pretty fucking easy as far as mining goes, those of us that have been here longer know this isn't always the way things work.
Oh and 480/580s are under $300 again.
