@crackfoo I mined for BCH thinking it was Bitcoin Cash a while ago, used a Bitcoin Cash address. I'm guessing I didn't the payout though because it looks like this is actually Bitcash not Bitcoin Cash. Though on coinmarketcap.com Bitcoin Cash goes by BCH. Anyways could you help me it it resolved? Sorry for the trouble, mined with BCH: 12cn3KkiE4dkonSbSzeEBS5AYpKksiXNVt Thanks!

You know what, fuck it, Blissz do what you want man. I'm not going to bother you or mess with your project or your code. I just wanted to help you and contribute to the project but I re-read my posts and I've been a monster. I'm sorry for that. Do whatever you feel like. I'm not going to do anything.

Why were you such an asshole and then you go and retract it all and say fuck it? Did you just want to prove you could be a monster and get him to give in, and then once you saw you won you said fuck it?? Wow...
You know, he's helped us out a sure hell of a bunch more then you have.

I still think keeping the code closed is wrong, morally, yet I empathize with his concerns (Bitmain using the code, idiots trying to modify it and wreaking peoples gear, ext). Ultimately though, I changed my mind because I didn't like the person I was being and I was not proud of my means to the end attitude. I realize people here don't get software and certainly don't get open-source, generally speaking, but it's a progress thing and I see people don't get that, they keep thinking it's about the fee. I did get what I wanted, Blissz knows now and he will have to figure out for himself what is right and wrong. I got carried away in making this an ultimatum, when all I wanted to do was send a message.

Without Bitmain's source none of this would be possible. Without cgminer's source, Bitmain couldn't have made the original product. Without many other packages also included and freely sourced cgminer couldn't have made their software etc.... The GPL exists for a reason, to stop people from stealing code and repackaging it as their own and to further advancement in a free and open way.

My man. Thank you, you get it.

I'd also like to state, that I HATE Bitmain and I do not want to help them in anyway. Rather than close source things though I think it'd really be good to find a way to work together (keeping bitmain out of the loop is not possible as an individual but is as a community). I know I'm not the only person on here who knows how this stuff works. Maybe we could work together to fight some of these wrongs but we can't do that in a closed community and that my friend is why the GPL exist. Not just for cgminer but for Linux, for software. It's about pushing the world forward, even if we are just little ant's.

Thanks Blissz, I will hold off releasing the dev free version and let you figure out what you want to do. I want to state again for the record I 100% support you and your dev fee. I think your hard work and improvements are worth paying for, but for the progress of crypto letting others stand on your shoulders (clearly you are a giant Wink) is a must for our progress (from a code prospective). I wish you all the best. Sincerely

Blissz - You are breaking the law, cgminer is 'GNU General Public License' program. Turning it into one for your own profit and not pushing it back to ckolivas or opening it up on github is illegal under the copyright. I understand you worked hard on it and did a great job. I get that you want to be compensated and you can still have a dev fee for you pre-built binary but you CAN'T keep ignoring the licence by having the source code closed. You need to push your code back up or openly host it. You don't have to take your mining fee out and you don't have to provide building instructions but you need to honor the open source license or I'm going to do it for you. No one here is going to know how to cross compile it and then build it back into initramfs. They can barely setup there miners in the first place. Since you've always ignored me I'm going to make this super clear now. Do the right thing, push your code, or I will re-release all your Firmware, without the miner fee. IE. by injecting assembly branching operations into the compiled cgminer where the switch_pools functions execute we can skip any pool greater than 2. You have a week and them I'm going to post my Blissz modded version just like you did to Bitmain(at least there code is hosted though).... I really wish you could have just done the right thing to start with.

5 days - I sent you the de-compiled code with the patch so you know it works.

Can you make the check ability if the dev fee pools are dead, not to switch until the come back online?

I'm pretty sure this is by design otherwise you could just put reject outbound firewall rules on his dev pool ports on your home router...

I allow them but as a noobie I'm throttled I believe on the amount of messages I can send/receive.

Anyway publishing the code and be honest is perfectly fine too.
I can't publish the code because I don't have the code, or I don't have Blissz's modified code. I only have Bitmains code fork and kolivas's master branch. With that I have a disassembled Hex dump of Blissz binary, which I was able to compare with the known published versions and add symbols back until I figured out how he was switching pools . All I can do is publish the assembly code (which I will) with modifications that take out certain bits of the raw .exe if you will.

When you really want to do it, i will not use your software, because is useless for me. not working with 8 or more pools.

I don't care, I have nothing to gain. This is about doing whats right.

Show me the part where say clearly that you must publish this code, when it is not finish or in development stage.
It's literally at the top off all the cgminer source code.

Can I directly flash my D3 unit to the latest mod v1.12 :: 10/12 (https://mega.nz/#!ylJX0LCQ!8JWryI0jDhgMvPdH2mrOvybkXCtrpYtQpxu0akdxU1s) ?

Or is there any intermediate mod that I need to upgrade to first?

Thanks!

You can do it directly. Your writing a new image to flash, it's not a file based upgrade.

Sometimes I wonder why people like this even bother replying... the whole point of me making a post here is not so I can brag about what I already "understand".... it's clearly because I don't and have a question to ask and would like an answer.

Ugg I'm not trying to be a jerk man but you are just really missing some big electrical concepts and I don't want you to fry your unit. Let's say it this way, the D3 run's at ~1100 Watts on 13/13/13 at 120v that's 9.2Amps (1100/120 = 9.16). That's your power draw. If you are on a 15 amp breaker switch you shouldn't put much more on it, typically 80% of the rated breaker is the max an electrician will tell you (15 * .8 = 12 amps max). Anything more than 12 Amps on a 15 amp breaker running CONSTANTLY might pop the breaker switch. Now that is out of the way changing to 13/18/13 will draw more current, I'm not sure how much but what I will say it applying that much voltage to the board has the risk of overheating or instantly electrocuting the ASIC chips on the hashboard. Thus if you don't understand these concepts I'd highly recommend you not to go past the 13 setting.

15/15/15 voltage for each board too high and going to pop a circuit?

You are going to fry your hashboards if you don't know what you are doing.  You REALLY shouldn't take the voltages past 13 unless you understand what you are doing and based on your post, it doesn't sound like you do mate. Taking all the way to 18 could instantly & forever kill your hashboard.

Stranger you sound like a bully, go ahead and release your crapware, I'll still support blissz. The proper response for you is to make a competing product with better pricing structure (or free, Mr. nice guy), but you can't actually do that. Can you? Ahahahaha

No I'm all for Blissz keeping the fee. Can you not read. The point here is the open source licensed software needs to be open source. Blizzs did a great job with his mod's and I totally support him in that he should be compensated but that has nothing to do with taking open source code and claiming it as his own.

Sorry mate but you're dead wrong.

Here's a simple version of the GPL https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-general-public-license-v3-(gpl-3) for those of you who aren't involved in anything open-source or legal. Pretty clear cut.

Yep that's probably what's going to happen. You fuckers are so greedy to make 1$ more that everyone else, you don't care about supporting crypo you just want to make money. Guess what, everyone has D3's and if everyone's work better it's no different than if they all worked shitty. No one stands to gain from a system of hidden code to protect the financial interest of the few. We might as well just give up and go back to big banks for that.

It's recommended to use BTC as any other coin could be removed at anytime and payouts will not occur.

Right this is clear on the home page, but if you look at the SHA-256 status page BCH is just blank. No last day/week/month info. It just makes it seem like it's dead and I didn't know if it was pulled from the pool.

Noticed that BHC has been short on coins for a long while now. Is there any specific reason for this, or is it just not most profitable on SHA-256 so no blocks are being mined in the pool?
