Re: [BBR] Boolberry: Privacy and Security - Guaranteed[Bittrex/Poloniex]GPU Released
our coin was hurt much by cbuchner/pttx private GPU miner(now we have open source GPU, it was released just more than week ago)
to be fair, it's probably better that he sells them as they come. it's a constant damper on the price but we'd have no future at all if he decided to just hold whatever huge amount of coins he mined!
We were a team of four, and only two of us had the knowledge to run AWS farms. I never rented any AWS servers myself (surprise?)
We sold off the majority of what we mined to cover operating costs, to limit risk and to secure profits - making us no different from any
most other miners.
Our big scale farming operations are now pretty much shut down due to lack of profitability. Some of us still do home mining with 750 Ti's or other gear.
I still hold 15000 BBR as a long term investment.
Yeah.... And you still have not released your miner
cbuchner1 stated that he would release the GPU miner once stratum pool support was finished. He didn't. Where I come from when you say you're going to do something and then don't that's called a lie. It is what it. I stated in another post that cbuchner1 has the right to do whatever he wants with his miner. He also has the right to lie if he wishes. I guess he wishes to keep his miner private and lie about releasing it.
Mine is apparently faster, and I haven't released it. Am I the devil, too? And it's not just BBR, XMR had 10x faster CPU miners within a week of launch, as I've said before.
No you're not the devil. You are under no obligation to release anything. You never said you would. Neither is cbuchner1. I have stated as much in previous posts. You guys deserve to profit from your work. I have no problem with that. My issue is with an individual saying they will release a miner once pool stratum support is developed. Well it was developed and the miner wasn't released. I even donated to the bounty and I don't even mine with Nvidia cards. I thought it was in the best interest of the coin to get a GPU miner released. Then said individual basically taunts everyone by saying that they're glad for the downward trend because their little home farm will find more blocks. That's pretty crappy.
I consider myself a speculator and as such I know the risks I am taking. But I base those risks off of the information I have available. I speculated that an open source GPU miner would be good for the distribution and stability of BBR. I contributed to a bounty that was to be given to an individual that stated they would release their miner once the pool support was done. They did not follow through on what they said. Therefore the information I had available was bad information. Regardless, I haven't suffered any losses due to this and even if I did the only individual that would bear responsibility would be myself. I'm a grown man and responsible for the things I do. My issue is with people not doing what they say they are going to do and then putting icing on the cake and mocking the people in this thread.
You can release your miner or not release your miner. That's your choice. However I don't see much value in not releasing it since this coin is going to die unless the distribution starts to balance out more and more people are able to mine it and actually have a chance at getting coins. Soon there won't be any buyers on the exchanges so you won't be able to sell the coins you mine anyway. You can only dump a coin so low before it won't come back and I think that we are getting close to that point.
