At present, there is no competition, so Claymore can name its price.
We need another miner with higher or same efficiency.
I'm sure other miners exist, but no one is releasing them. There was a bounty to make an open source GPU miner for both Nvidia and AMD, but hardly any money went into the fund.
So for the display driver hackers, they can either make thousands of dollars in profit a day, or give the miner to the community to win a weak bounty.
For everyone in this thread complaining, put your money where your mouth is and make a massive bounty for a comparable open source miner.
Tell me where to send some coin towards a bounty where someone isn't going to run off with it and I'll donate.
