Ok I can test pow8 now. But note that I does not guarantee that I will release new version or that I will do it before upcoming fork, this is free miner now and I'm not going to add any fees again, so check other miners, there are many of them.
Thanks for your effort in advance - would be very nice to have an updated version of this miner, in my opinion your mining software is better than all the others.
Sad that you are not planning to continue the development in a matter like before, I would be happy to contribute a fee for getting continuous updates.
Keep up the good work and please think about contributing to the community with your outstanding talent.
