I program on the side myself, not for anything crypto-currency related, but I wanted to state this as a software developer:
If I had my own project, and the userbase started making (at this point) obscene demands of the free software I provide, and then begin to pressure me with a bounty -- it would certainly rub me the wrong way. Just let them work at their own pace, and be grateful for what you have when it comes. They honestly don't own anyone a single thing.
If anything, we (as miners) owe them. Send them donations if you feel that they've helped you get the coins you have now; but don't feel entitled to updates just because you participate in the larger community, or even sent them a donation. A donation is just that, don't expect anything in return.
People here makes demands regardless if they donate or doesn't. This is not an official bounty, Christian in the end decides what he want to so, what to implement, what to release, and of course when. I'm just saying, that if we'll have a bounty, it can show the community interest in something in a much more appreciative way than making tons of requests on here all day long.
Anyhow, there's no intention of pressuring anybody. I suggest anyone who use cuda or cc miner to donate directly to Christian. Also, if you considering donating to the bounty, and you haven't donated to Christian yet, donate to him directly first.
I just want to say that I'm full of appreciation to christian's work, I don't think he owns something to any of us, and I really appreciate his kindness for sharing his outstanding work with us for free!
