Cost is why I suggest filing with the FTC. IF the gov thinks there is is a valid case they bear the burden of pursing it. If the infringement is as cut and dry as Kano et al say, then given the size of Bitmain's market I'd think the FTC and their counterparts in other countries would be very interested. Would certainly make for some nice headlines ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I said they do eventually comply with it so there's no case to bring up against them. I doubt suing fubly would serve much purpose...

Well it's broken in that it's in violation of gpl. And since Kano ck are so bent out of shape about it I can't understand why they don't do something about it. Put their money where their mouth is and force bitmain to open source the code or face a hefty fine. Or is it that the gpl is a joke and no one actually ever does that? Bitmain skirt around the edges of legality with the GPL. You are obliged to provide code to any binaries you distribute within 30 days of being asked if someone has received those binaries and requested the source to them. Bitmain has always ended up releasing source code though it often takes longer than 30 days which is usually when Kano starts getting loud about them breaking the GPL - however if no one asks for the source code, and only those in possession of the binaries have that right, then they're not obliged to do anything. This is totally different to the fubly+cgminer+cryptoglance story which is the main complaint on this thread. As for pursuing companies breaking the GPL through law, that takes money and internationally is close to futile when it comes to China. We're not big companies with big budgets to burn on lawsuits with only a borderline chance of success, and I doubt it will lead to any great recompense on our part should we win. But as I said, Bitmain eventually have complied.

High CPU usage?! This looks normal atm.
S9 uses a more powerful controller than the old hardware if I'm not mistaken.

I would like to see a comment from KANO or -CK
I never passed judgement on the GPL violation issue because I never looked at fubly's previous project(s) (but I've heard all about it from Kano.) All I was suggesting was that the S9 driver be ported to master cgminer and inherit the fixes that were put into the S1/2/3 drivers - diff up what changes went from S3 to S9 and work that way instead of porting the core cgminer code to their fork. The issue with bitmain's fork is both the core cgminer code and their driver. High CPU usage, throwing away shares, getting best share wrong, massive wasteful work queues that add to latencies are the things I recall off the top of my head. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do the driver myself so I would welcome anyone from the community doing it; don't think I'm singling out fubly. As for not working on Kano's ckpool I don't think that's anything to do with fubly's code since he can mine on solo ckpool. His actions may have put him on an IP blacklist for kano.is in the past (which may say something in itself.)

Posting on page 1000 was something I wanted to do.
1000 pages and I just hit 10000 posts (Kano is not far behind.)

And another Friday lottery player here ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) I have some little rentals at MRR running here right now, and smth odd is happening - one of the rented s9's located in Germany is constantly switching from solo.ckpool.org and de.ckpool.org to a backup pool showing this: "One of your pools is reporting an excessive amount of rejected shares. In order to assist the failover, we've temporarily disabled this pool." All other gear is hashing normally. What could it be? The dodgy extra mining protocol put into the S9s purely to work with antpool. Solo doesn't have code to ignore the extra protocol data from those S9s and rejects them as invalid shares. Looks like they have the very early S9 firmware or something like that.

besides testing successfully I am looking for kano and ck to bless this so to speak.
I'm sorry to disappoint you but that's unlikely for either of us. We already briefly posted our issues on this thread but no one seemed to respond to our criticism and we didn't want to rain on fubly's parade when everyone is excited by it so did not push the issue further. If you want to move forward with his code and give him the bounty, you're on your own on deciding whether you're happy or not. -ck as I recall Fubly said that this CGminer 4.9.2 should fulfill the GPLv3 license... I really do not hope I smell some kind of "We are the only ones" kind of thingy ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) I look through the whole thread again and I cant find any issues re. Fubly having no intentions to fulfill the GPLv3 license. If I got this wrong, please correct me. I hoped you as the last person ever, would kill a community project, making a lucked product open for everyone and get rid of Bitmain`s BMminer who broke the GPLv3 license ? Sad, really sad I never said anything about GPL - that's Kano's concern about fubly's other project and how that code is being applied here. Read my comment about driver changes. Porting cgminer is only half the work

Ok now im stuck, and lost anyone know what .conf i need to edit? -ck?

The version of cgminer you are using is very old and even if you had the latest you still wouldn't be able to mine with it as the gekkoscience hardware needs a custom forked version of cgminer to work. Here is the support thread for that device: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1173963.0You also cannot mine solo unless you have the full bitcoin core client so you'd need to either find a way to get that working on your hardware or mine on a pool instead.

You cannot mine bitcoins with a computer by itself no matter how powerful the computer is. All bitcoins are mined today with dedicated ASIC hardware and unless you buy some you cannot meaningfully mine bitcoin in any capacity.

I think i got ckproxy setup, i run ckpool -A -p and i get this. any "help" would be appreciated -A -p [2016-08-31 00:23:29.100] ckproxy generator starting [2016-08-31 00:23:29.100] ckproxy stratifier starting [2016-08-31 00:23:29.101] ckproxy connector starting [2016-08-31 00:23:29.104] ckproxy connector ready [2016-08-31 00:23:29.105] ckproxy stratifier ready [2016-08-31 00:23:49.335] Failed initial subscribe to solo.ckpool.org:80 ! ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) There is no stratum server at solo.ckpool.org:80 ...

The original poster's question was far too vague and you're all responding thinking he was talking about what physical location which I doubt - it was more a "how do I make money using services" question I believe. Please stop responding unless he comes back to clarify what the question was otherwise I'll just lock the thread.

build with cgminer 4.9.3 is ready for S7 and works well
There is no such thing as cgminer 4.9.3 at this time. Please don't make people think that your resync creates a new official version. Furthermore, the actual problems in the bitmain drivers go far deeper than just the core cgminer code and porting the rest of the code does not fix the driver itself.

Just a brief notification that the redirection gateway at solo.ckpool.org will be going down for maintenance approximately 36 hours from now. The DNS has been updated to direct miners to the stratum server so if you are connected on port 3334 or your miners don't support redirection, they will disconnect when this maintenance begins but assuming your mining software properly rechecks dns then they will automatically reconnect to the stratum server without any interruption.
Miners already connected to the stratum server (which is most miners except for rentals) will not be affected by this downtime.
In short, most of you won't notice anything but I will notify once more when this maintenance is over.
The maintenance has been put off for another 3 weeks so this no longer applies.
