Title: Contest: New name for BFGMiner! (0.33 - 1 BTC prize) (COMPLETED) Post by: Luke-Jr on February 19, 2013, 04:03:37 AM BFGMiner (St. Barbara's FPGA/GPU Miner) 3.0 will be featuring and refocussing on ASICs.
Therefore, the original name no longer really fits anymore. Since I can't think of any obvious fit, I've decided to have a little contest to see if anyone can come up with a new name for it. Bonus points if you can make it elegantly fit the current "BFGMiner" abbreviation-name by simply redefining "F" and "G". :) If I use your suggestion, there will be a Bitcoin reward. The exact amount will be based on how good I think it works, but probably 200 - 600 TBC (about 0.33 - 1 BTC). NOTE: This contest has completed. Thanks for participating.

Title: Re: Contest: New name for BFGMiner! (0.33 - 1 BTC prize) Post by: RoboCoder on February 19, 2013, 04:14:56 AM You know.. When i saw the name BFGMiner - my mind went back to the days of DOOM and the BFG - i just assumed it was modeled after that in terms of power and capability..
At the risk of being cliche - i guess i would suggest: Big Effin' Gun Miner.. But i am probably not serious. Or likely to be taken that way. But its later and my brains fried so...

We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is that we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is . . . a brain. And an athlete. And a basket case. A princess. And a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club. PS: call it Barbara Bitcoin ASICs Reward Bounty And Reserve Alternative BFGMiner (St. Barbara's FPGA/GPU Miner) 3.0 will be featuring and refocussing on ASICs. Therefore, the original name no longer really fits anymore. Since I can't think of any obvious fit, I've decided to have a little contest to see if anyone can come up with a new name for it. Bonus points if you can make it elegantly fit the current "BFGMiner" abbreviation-name by simply redefining "F" and "G". Smiley If I use your suggestion, there will be a Bitcoin reward. The exact amount will be based on how good I think it works, but probably 200 - 600 TBC (about 0.33 - 1 BTC). Title: Re: Contest: New name for BFGMiner!
