Oh god, Here we go again. We're about to get Mtmlr'd

If you want to be constructive, how about suggesting some good mechanism of escrow or other approach so that there's only money transferred when people are satisfied that the miner is actually functional?

-Dave

There are several well known escrow services in the forums, I'm sure one of those can be of use. However the trick is to agree on "the amount of donation" and "on which condition the funds will be released".
Release of funds can be tied to something like ... x% of the participants report a successful gpu miner

Thank you. I'm unfamiliar with them, so specific recs would be appreciated. I have some conditions on that - I don't have a windows build box, for example, so I can only test builds on MacOS and Linux x86-64. And I'm only going to certify that it works on cards that I have access to - Tesla K20c, GTX 650 ti, GT 650M, and GTX 690. But I want people to know what they're getting. The delta from "no GPU miner" to "a working GPU miner" is larger than the delta from "have to tweak it to work on Windows or on Fermi".

(Of course, I'd like to *not* be in the position where someone fakes a lot of accounts to claim that it doesn't work when, in fact, it does. :-)

I'm very interested in this. I mine on windows with a Titan, and I'd be able to help verify a working GPU miner on my setup.

PS Thanks for optimizations to cudaminer!
