Warning to all miners using Rdebourbon's 4.0F2 miner - he has never released source code and its impossible to tell if some blocks found are being siphoned off to his xpm wallet address.


While I know that this practice has been done by others I can definitively state that beta4 does nothing covert. I infact took a poll from users regarding the share logging (which is useful for dev purposes) and when faced with incredible negative reactions for any code that "phones home" I took the stance of logging a simple text file..

With regards the source for "beta4" - I did say I would release it when complete, or if I found I was not getting enough time to work on it.. so as a show of good faith I have uploaded the beta4 source as a new branch to my GitHub. It can be found here -> https://github.com/rdebourbon/jhPrimeminer/tree/beta4

The primary reason I was holding back on the release was the restructured sieve code seems to be far simpler to port to AVX/GPU (Both CUDA & OpenCL) and to be perfectly honest, I want (wanted) the accolade of being the guy who "cracked" GPU mining for XPM.. While I have part complete implementations of these versions (AVX & GPU), I have not released these yet as they do not currently build/work.

My current situation personally is not yielding as much time to work on this project as I would like, so its better that others get a chance to review and improve on the beta4 code..
