That's just a pitch to the unwary to sucker them into using cgminer. IMO, cgminer and bfdminer are still too much of a pain in the ars to use because they are line code intensive and you have to learn coding [...]

What?  Roll Eyes

Are you on drugs mate? Or maybe off drugs?

I mean if you prefer to run 40 cpuminer windows that's fine with me, just don't make it sound like your way is the only way.

What kind of drugs do you have, man?

I did qualify my statement as In My Opinion 'IMO'....

Knee 'jerk' reaction there? Matey?

Maybe you should instead qualify that statement as "I have no idea what I'm talking about". Where did you get this: "line code intensive and you have to learn coding"? What does it even mean - "line code intensive"? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you could slow down on pitching cpuminer on unrelated posts and making bogus arguments like that. Feel free to highlight cpuminer advantages without making shit up.

No offense, but don't start shit where there ain't no shit to be thrown. It will only pile up on 'you'.
My opinions are backed up by fact, not fiction. READ!

Wolfey2014, it would be appreciated when you'd stop with always finishing a post with your name. Common forum stuff, your name is already on the left and you might notice that almost nobody does it besides you Smiley
 
Further it might be good to sometimes refrain from commenting when it's not 100% on topic. I do see your enthusiasm which is very good but like it has been mentioned before (probably also in other threads), when somebody asks about a problem with software A, there is no need to promote your software B (or point out that what you are using works). Even though it's better/cooler/hipper/cheaper/more effective/etc, that's not what the question is about. I've seen (so far) two annoyed responses on those "plugs" on cpuminer in the several threads I'm following and you don't really seem too happy with those remarks so far. To make a slight understatement Wink

As a complete linuxnoob, I've installed 2 raspberries, put the suggested software on them and made 32 GSD's run for 72 hours already without a single hiccup or miner reconnecting/disconnecting. I'm -this- close to putting my version back into an image to share with everyone because it works so damn well Smiley
So cgminer (if you're into scrypt only) is a very decent piece of work, but just one of the flavors, just as your favo software works perfectly well Wink

On the other hand, you're doing very good with your research on stuff, so keep that up, I've very happily used some advice from your posts already.

Oh, and starting a response with "no offense" but then clearly showing in your writing that you took offense is, ehm, well, an incorrect use of the term Wink
