3%? ...

Bit rich for the dev fee considering that it is a ccminer clone and balloon addition.

Is there ANY reason why we would trial this out from a newbie like yourself and a code that seems to be a modified ccminer clone?

Let me know, and we will possibly have a look at it. Otherwise, there will be no way we would risk this in our mining systems, even though we have been looking at an opensource CUDA miner.

What exactly do you risk? You can always look/change the source, even remove the fee...
Thanks for the miner, Belg

The code is NOT a fork ...

It is an upload from HIS/HER system, so it 'looks' like a ccminer copy, but to go through ALL the changes that MAY have been issues in the code would take precious time we do not have.

Had it been forked and changed, the changes are easy to see and we could associate the code with solid evidence that any malicious code has NOT been introduced. This however is a different story, so when you compile/run this code, the risk is VERY real that malicious code is present.

THAT is the risk. Somehow I do not think you value the coins you own/have as much as we value the honesty and integrity of the developers we work with. This code has just appeared and unless our dev (barrystyle) condones this code, we will NOT risk running it in our systems until James gives the all clear.

If this is a clear and open codebase, and the dev contacts us direct, then we will utilize it and have no issue with the dev fee. I personally still think 3% is rich, but as it stands, there is no assurance that this code is clean as is. I am happy to be proven wrong as this will affect the whole community and the community can benefit from this miner, if it indeed is clean.

Now do you understand?
