@PcChip, exactly, I figure a donation to make some money is way more preferable than doing harm.

I know it is just my word, but the only changes made from the NHML code, which is open source, were to convert to MiningPoolHub APIs and remove NiceHash GUI elements. I might release the source someday, but until it gains some adoption I thought it was strategically more valuable to keep closed source.
Nemos Miner was Nvidia only, so it wasn't enough for me, and I think a lot of smaller miners like something more visual with less setup. Not to mention some people rely on other features of the nhml miner like IFTTT support .
