Cool work - however please consider this a formal request for the source - is seems the kernels might be related to another project of yours, https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer - which I'd also love the source for. Since the ccminer fork is entirely off a project released under GPL, all the code you've written is also considered GPL.

I'm all for your devfee and am not looking to remove it, however I tend not to run anything I cannot compile myself and I tend to try and do my own optimizations for my linux rigs.

Thanks - looking forward to the releases.

Hi, thanks for your interest, but in fact you're not right.

We've started this project specially to get rid of GPL licensed code and possible legal problems, all kernels in hsrminer are my intellectual property, which I have full right not to publish in source code format. You can say style smells like ccminer, but style similarity is not GPL violation, it's the same as, for example, saying that "Daimler AG" is violating "WAG Group" licenses because their cars also have steering wheels and doors. And program clearly says it was "inspired" by ccminer and EWBF's equihash miner.

This project is not related to any kind of "optimisation" as ccminer-palginmod was. If it was so, why we're losing devfee and not releasing new algos for weeks? ccminer-palginmod had many algos "optimised", why not publish them? Hsrminer kernels are homebrew, and it takes me tons of time (really, I get up at 7AM and go to bed at midnight, spending hours in front of screen) to create something faster than existing software offers. Also, palginmod had no movement since 9th of August this year if you look at github.

It's your right to use this software or not, just to close any speculation around GPL and my violation of it, I'm removing all palginmod binaries from Github, just right time to do it.

Thank you again for raising this question and have a nice day!

Ah cool, thanks for the clarification. Best of luck with hsrminer!

Will you be open sourcing your last changes as of August 9th for palginmod? Removing the binaries doesn't replace the need for distributing the source for something you've already distributed.
