The Xevan miner was just released. Another alexei rippoff with some added new padding bytes. The miner was profitable for 6 hours. and after then windows binary was released, there was no profit left. So the opensorce miner is now worth nothing.
Krlx got his bounty of 0.5btc, and with your logic, he should share the bounty with the real developers of the ccminer right? 99% of the code is written by me and the other devs, he just changed a few lines of code to claim the bounty. 2-3 days of work. 0.5btc. Nice inside job..
Do you share your profits with the other developers?
And why didnt you get the bounty if it was that easy?
If you publish something under gpl, you agree that everybody can do with the code whatever he wants, as long as he follows the license. Which he did, which you dont.
You could you argue, that if you did not make your code open source in the first place, he wouldnt have gotten the the bounty. Might be right, might be wrong. Probably someone else would wrote the xevan code, its not like you there are only 5 people in the world you are expert Cuda programmers.
I agree with bensam1231 in this point. There are probably way more programmers out there you never hear about which only to private jobs.
