I would like to point out that OhGodAnETHlargementPill is provided FOR FREE to the mining community.
In my case I have (amongst many other Nvidia cards) 2 x MSI GTX1080 Gaming X cards.
When I used the pill in ethos (linux mining distro) and Windows 10 mining with ethminer (the cuda dagger-hashimoto miner that hashes as well or better than Claymore but has NO FEE) both 1080's went from approx 21-23mh/s to 30-33mh/s - or an approximate 45% improvement.
This was from a piece of FREE SOFTWARE given to the community just to make those people with GDDR5x memory on their Nvidia GPUs work better.
I have read reports of people with 1080ti's going from 30-33mh/s to 48-52mh/s.
When was the last time anything from sp_ produced this kind of an improvement FOR FREE?
Hey @sp_ - OhGodAGirl has better skills and better ethics than you.
You would work well in a infomercial.
Also I don't think you understand just how much money private devs like this have made and why they can do pet projects like that for FREE. It's like a billionaire making a non-profit and putting a fractional amount of effort into it. Is it great? Sure, but also understand there are a lot of other things that are currently more profitable then Eth they could've been working on and helped the community out with. Eth is a last stand for mining Nvidia, so you generally wont be touching it till we're in a really tight spot. And then it doesn't help people out who have bought non GDDR5X cards.
But SP_ being an oldtimer in crypto and assuming his all for the ideas of decentralization and fair distribution etc.
Selling his miners to only big farms as small time miners will struggle with ROI by spending hundreds of $ on a miner vs earning profits by sharing to the public with devfee kinda works against all that.
Im sure he is a great guy and much smarter than most of us and has his reasons. But still..
That is how most of the major developers work. SP just advertises his. Where do you think Wolf0 gets his money or viral marketing scheme girl?
