Recognize that I don't blame the distributors one lick - in fact, I'm happy they spent their time creating cgminer 3.1.1 - without it we would have had paperweights. But also recognize that they do NOT directly profit from doing such work. Sure, they benefit from it, but why would one distributor be responsible in any way-shape-or-form for creating, or paying to have created (now there is a thought!) software that every other distributor could profit from?
Zeus is the company we should be pissed at. They have promised firmware updates to reduce power consumption and not delivered. They are hopefully working on firmware updates so that all equipment actually identifies itself right (3 of my 11 fury's do not), but again no word or honestly much hope of such a delivery.
And who is to blame for that? Probably us... since we order the crap in hopes of making a profit no matter what shape it is in.
How many people actually send donations to Luke or Nate? With likely 10s of thousands of users of their code, I bet one could count on two hands how many donations they have received for their work...
