Yes, he did incorporate support for the NanoFury for nothing... unless you consider the 2 units that I sent to Luke so that he test and develop with them as a payment - they probably made $50 in their entire life
p.s. a required clarification - it is almost impossible to add support for a given hardware/device/asic/etc without having the actual hardware to test with. So in my opinion those are required development tools.
Thanks for the response, I do appreciate it. I'm well versed on the limitations of trying to support hardware without access to the iron itself. My questions were more to the point of whether Luke had actually received free hardware that he considered paid for by his efforts in adding support to BFGMiner. I then went on to isolate the validity of that concept by asking if he would have supported the device for free.
My comments may have come off as rude or abrupt, however Luke Jr isn't exactly a shining star when it comes to his history in Cryptoland.
