I've been offered an Avalon I think 3 times back around March and each time rejected it.
I don't want one.

This sounds to me like an irrational hatred that is blinding you. No one in their right mind would reject "free money" like you are.

As for what BFL gave me, so far 1 Jalapeno and 2 Singles ... though I paid for 1 Single.
Why? Coz that's the reason you can mine on a Jalapeno and a Single with cgminer.

Presumably you've contribute similar code that facilitates use of Avalon-based devices as well ?

I've also been given an Icarus, a ModMInerQuad, a BlackArrow Lancelot, an AsicMiner USB, an RPi, a BitBurner XX and a Cairnsmore1
So what. They are necessary to support the hardware in cgminer.

Cognitive dissonance: You only work on code for items you are given ? Won't work on code for Avalon for your own confusing reasons ?

And yes I have on a few occasions made comment about BFLs chips being the best.
...
The Avalon chips are crap in comparison, it takes 240 of them to make an Avalon - each chip is slower than an FPGA.
...
Even the Avalon design is the worst of all the devices we support with cgminer.

Spoken like a true shill.

Yeah right I shill for BFL as much as you are useful to this community. Zero.

I rest my case.

Finally, as a developer of software that is used across multiple hardware devices, I might recommend against expressing such zeal towards a specific hardware manufacturer. You are essentially pulling the equivalent of Microsoft endorsing AMD over Intel over ARM; something you will never see happen. Microsoft recognizes the benefits of having their software run on as many hardware platforms, and maintaining productive relationships with OEMs.

You're not making yourself look particularly good either Sad

The jabs about a place for you at Butterfly Labs is not far off the mark given a certain personality you are aspiring to emulate.

Hate to break in to this argument, but Kano clearly stated that he writes drivers for Avalon and if you check cgminer, you will see that is true. cgminer supports Avalon devices. Why aren't you aware of that? Lay off of him. cgminer is an excellent program and it has benefited the bitcoin community greatly. He honestly should charge for it.

Bitsyncom has proven to be unreliable. It's hard to imagine throwing so many people under the bus and then immediately selling your new and improved product. Wow... Anyway, carry on.
