I think it is a good idea to just let him speak to these discussions about supporting AMD/ATI cards and not just engage in banter one way or another.

the last ATI (now AMD) card I owned was a Radeon 9550 I think (2005 timeframe)
Also I am not familiar at all with OpenCL. But I consider myself really proficient in CUDA.
I own about 20 nVidia cards (but not all are currently in service).

So why is it I should support/improve AMD mining? It would cut into my nVidia mining profits.
Like, seriously. Supporting both vendors would have the same effect as supporting none.
It wouldn't shift the balance of power in favor of anybody.

Another bullish statement read this week. Majority of x11 hashrate now belongs to amd card. Improving their hashrate would seriously cut down nvida advantage and profit margin
actually if that could convince the guy doing 500 curecoins a day to move to x11 that would be great  Grin (I think I am already done with x11 coin... they have redefined the term of shitcoin with 2 or 3 launch/ day even during business days... totally insane)

Those two guys WERE GPU/CPU mining XPM at ypool, if it makes you feel any better, so the smaller XPM miners are not unhappy to see them on something else.  Then again, I'm on Curecoin myself now (from XPM) so I share your pain.
