this thread is gold  

we see valid arguments about a dev fee and the only come backs are "greedy bastards", "greedy morons", the sky is falling type panicking "dstm will abandon his miner!" lol...

dstm has repeatedly said he will not lower his dev fee and to go use another miner if you don't like his fee. he doesn't care if you use his or not. you wanna take a guess why? that 2% he gets from every miner running is insanely profitable for him. dstm shared his miner as closed source to make money. simple as that.

now i'm not against paying people for their work, in fact i like to donate to people/communities like nvOC and ccminer by klaust and Equihash Miner Autorun by acrefawn, etc. the fact that they are spending their time to help the community and other people says a lot about their character. they don't require any compensation, they provide support and take suggestions and oddly enough, they are pushing out updates 10x more often than dstm. all they have is a donation address. those are the people that deserve to be paid regularly.

as far as miner authors with 2% dev fees...none deserve a 2% constant fee running on miners. many people have enough rigs that its not as simple as $2 a day. even if that were the case, do you feel you're getting $750+ a year worth of increased hashrate/stability from this? not a chance. you might see a 6% gain over other miners but thats reduced to 4% with his fee lol. its hilarious you think that small of a increase is worth taking 1/3rd of said increased hashrate!

you go ahead and keep paying that 2% dev fee, and keep the posts coming!


i'd love to donate for a windows 10 version!
