Problem is that it's not worth it for the devs to release it for "chump change".

Why open source for 1 btc or so when you are mining 2 or 3 btc worth each day?

I have discussed the issue privately with both cbuchner1 and Claymore, asking for a quote to open source their software.

This is not a thread trying to pay them to open source their projects. This is a thread trying to get someone to work out a brand new miner, or adapt something like sgminer.

Claymore does not provide open source software, period.

cbuchner1 said flat out that he will not be releasing or open sourcing his miner, period. The implication was that it would be considered if we can offer him more than it would make him .. but nobody's going to pay him infinite money Wink

We're quickly entering a situation where private GPU miners are cornering the market .. not healthy.
