If you don't like the price, do not use it. As simple as that.
I dream of owning a Ferrari but don't want to pay that amount of money. Are you saying it is ok to steal the Ferrari?

Djeez I don't understand why the moderators keep these threads open. This forum is about crypto, bitcoins, altcoins.. Not about hacking, cracking, stealing, ......

calling it stealing is very harsh and not even close, if anything he is stealing our hashrate by holding it hostage, cant disable the fee so we are left with no choice but to pay it, and you are missing the point anyways most people bitch because its a continual fee that never stops because the dev's are too greedy, they make money off dumb people like yourself, if anything it would be more like you buying a Ferrari and getting fiat instead but there's an additional catch, you have to pay a monthly fee just to use it, guaranteed you would be bitching about that in a heartbeat but noooooooo when a dev has a fee that never stops people like you come out the woodwork and call people greedy, people in general wouldn't be like this if the dev's were in fact reasonable

btw theres also word going around that dstm has abandoned his miner program, so you can go ahead and give him your money for free and not get anything in return since he no longer supports his program

Operating systems, software packages, etc... They all use a license, right? A license that people need to "renew" every x time. Don't like paying for services/software? Then don't buy it/them.

If a creator (doesnt have to be software) releases something WITH conditions, why use it if you don't agree to those conditions? Did he lie about the fee? Did he hide it?
No. You knew about the fee from day one.

Also a little side note about greed:
Some time ago I released an OPEN source logging script with absolutely NO licenses or conditions: People could do with it what they want. I got questions from people asking me to modify the script to their needs. One of them made 300 USD _per day_ but was too greedy to tip me even one dollar.
Only 1 user had the decency to tip me. Talking about greed.

your compare apples with oranges there bud for the most part, weither it has a license or not is not the point, point is most of these programs and OS's we pay a ONE time fee to have it not a fee that keeps on going, and i never said I dont agree with it i just said they could lower the percentage some, they do need to get something but what there asking currently just isnt worth what we miners get in return, companies like microsoft had to sell LOTS of copies to make there money plus they had to pay taxes and what have you, dev's of miner programs do not, they are getting this money free and clear so dont talk about dev's not being greedy, that being said companies also a more than just one person working on the program or os so updates can regularly get pushed out which is another thing miner dev's LACK, they make more then enough to hire some other people but do they hell no cause there too danm greedy. btw its not greed just cause you did make money on something, you knew how open source is, you have to make it super good and even then getting people to donate is harder than hell, then youve got people that will pick through your code and put it into there paid for miners too, which from what ive herd every miner dev has done at some point or another, the only people that come out on top are these dev's, if anything we kinda get the shaft

"we pay a ONE time fee to have it not a fee that keeps on going"

You obviously have no experience dealing with software licensing. That said, you know what, use this hack to remove the fee and take the money you save and use it to pay for English lessons.
