It gets tiring having you go around dissing the effort I put in just because you support a hostile fork. I don't recall personal attacks against you to make you to take sides with such an aggressive stance. You don't like my software and its approach or p2pool, don't use it, but don't expend so much energy putting down other people's hard work. There's a big difference between constructive criticism and just plain bashing. You want to flame? Take it elsewhere, this is the p2pool thread.

To forrestv's credit, he made a LOT of changes leading into the ASIC era, like beefing up stratum support, variable difficulty, clamping down on memory leaks and the longer blocks. There is ALWAYS more work to be done when the landscape is changing so fast in the bitcoin mining world, but it's clear the manufacturers till now have not put p2pool on their radar at all.

To be fair, ck, you're not exactly Mr Carisma.  If you say bfgminer is a hostile fork, then I pose the notion that you're a hostile developer.   Tongue
I'd suggest you learn English.

The author(s) of the Other Miner(tm) have added a lot of stuff that is genuinely useful, recently (getwork and stratum proxy built in, nicer user interface, more useful stats on the screen, author provided OpenWRT build, etc).   I still loath your decision to go with WinUSB - the hotplug thing is pointless, and the WinUSB stuff just adds a layer of complication that isn't needed.  He also answers questions in his thread, rather than your stock "README  Roll Eyes " answers you seem to give. 
So in your opinion hotplug is pointless - well I'm glad we got that clear.
Your opinion of hotplug is indeed just that and no more.

As for your master you praise - you forgot to mention that he extorts payments in IRC ... yes acolyte - continue your blind faith.
You think there might be a reason he was voted LAST at the Bitcoin Foundation election and got less than half the votes of 2nd last?

Though the difference between 1st and 2nd last wasn't very large.

OK, so forrestv has made some changes, but I don't see any recent changes, or even any discussion of changes in the pipeline.  I'm thinking he's sitting somewhere with fingers in ears singing "la la la la" in a loud voice.  I'm willing to be proven wrong.
Also learn about the design of p2pool and a whole new term for you to read up about ... LP ... and what the actual problem is with crap hardware design like the KFC.
The KFC has a 10s idle on LP
If that is beyond your understanding of what the problem is then I guess you've made it clear your argument is worth jack shit.
