I'm leaning more toward sarcasm than plagiarism, a case of if you want a better answer ask a better question.
Plagiarism implies the "author" intends to take credit for what was written by others because it has value. The plagiarised
text is so generic it could be considered obvious and not worthy of copyright protection, but IANAL so just speculating.
Although it may have technically been plagiarism I think it was intended sarcastically and not an attempt to show off any expertise
in the subject.
Makes no difference if it was meant to be intended sarcastically or not , if there is no source link to the webpage or article its plagiarised.
But you know that and i guess if you add something to your miner code from somewhere you also add the Info from where you have it or ?
I just wanted to point it out and show that it was not his words and work what a FPGA miner is , so sorry for possible off topic.
Its also a reason for getting banned here on the Forum.
