On BFGMiner and CGMiner - who ripped who off?

[K1773R]

Where can I locate the function in one of the old miners source code to add interface to fpga processing? Or which mining software is the easiest to use as reference design (learning purposes)?

BFGMiner's device API is pretty straightforward.

u mean cgminer's lol

I am just having trouble finding the spot in the source where you choose the implementation.

Yes, cgminer also uses the device API that I created for BFGMiner - though an older version.

is there proof that you did this API and not ckolvias?

I guess this thread is a bit derailed.

You have now stepped over the the line of reality. Your self-delusions are a cry for help.

Firstly, Luke-the-idiot is talking about the device api - that luke-the-idiot named the same as the RPC API so that such confusion is bound to happen sometimes.
No idea why he used the same name months after I wrote the RPC API and I called my API "API" from the start back in November last year
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/9671f0a22b6dba7ac1069aa3a19ceff688970e93

Secondly, it's the lower case device api, NOT the upper case RPC API - yes he got that wrong.

Thirdly, it IS cgminer's device api - that was then copied to the other crappy miner
(yes luke-the-idiot was part of it's creation)

Here is the fork clone that Luke-the-idiot did to create his crappy clone:
https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer/commit/b9df56511c7bd1a2e1f075e9c184c1a4b0f1ba20
2012-04-26 Fork as BFGMiner

Here is one of the MUCH earlier commits for the device api in cgminer:
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/e0b0a6c03064e794199004a138f8e8af99ec2d12
2012-01-30 Modularize code: main.c -> device-cpu + device-gpu

Yeah ~3 months before the crappy clone existed.

... and just to throw in something extra
Here's a commit by me to cgminer to add something to both the RPC API and the device api ... that luke-the-idiot copied to his clone
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/9487ba05cdbed2f9135ab030e91b2a06cc4cbbfb
2012-09-04 API/BFL identify a device - currently only BFL to flash the led
i.e. he pulled a device api change FROM cgminer to his clone ...

845961af and a4d1fe1e are the original commits (in cgminer's repository) which took the GPU mining code (and unconnected CPU mining code), and replaced it with a mining device framework.
A few days later, I had the first working FPGA driver for the new device API.
ckolivas merged all of these into cgminer, so I had no need to release BFGMiner separately at the time, but he had nothing to do with the FPGA code until he forked it.

Which has been extensively rewritten coz it was coded so badly and got unnecessary rejects ... that you have since copied a lot of that code to your clone miner (that you also stole the name of from me)
You used the easiest interface available serial-USB - which I've had to recently completely re-write with libusb.

git doesn't lie, you do.
Show this 'fork' in git or GTFO.

Which is a bit worrying because Luke and THESEVEN have been chosen to work on the bASIC software, as experts in their field.......

Don't mind kanoi, he is a liar as usual.

we all know BFGMiner is just a clone to try getting some BTC donations.
you request Luke-Jerk to be honest but u forgot all he can is lieing, u wont get a serious answer.

[K1773R]

I dunno, kano, I prefer BFGMiner. I find your need for attention to be off-putting. Luke was just trying to give a community member something to look at for his project and you turned it into a ridiculous trainwreck of a thread. Stop trolling and live your life.

its not about attention its about forking software (which is no problem) and then trying to sell it as own developed code and get some BTC donations (which he does).
the main problem with Luke-Jerk isnt about forking cgminer, its about hes just a lieing jerk. use the search for "bible bashing" and u find some funny stuff about him. or another thing, hes deleting modifications to the wiki he dosnt like (altcoins, etc). the main problem is nobody does anything about it and this just drives the developers mad with time. if u are working on a project you dont need a guy who forks everything and trys to change it in a way u dont want it or just messing around, this is totaly contra-productive. btw, i think Luke-Jerk is the most ignored user @ developers.

TL;DR: intentional lieing and stealing isnt nice and drives honest ppl mad after some time.

So why are you spreading all these lies? Trying to earn a place on the troll top 10?

sry, besides smoothie (place 1) ur already on place 2.
u believe in god who told u not to lie, but 50% of ur posts are lies, so u believe in devil huh? or u get to hell, either of that lol.

no simple reason why im sick of u is ur pissing of god devs/ppl who want to help/create awesome stuff. @total ur contraproductive for mostly all devs, tahts my problem with u. if u want to lie around and such this isnt my business (aslong ur not talking BS about me) or if u want to try selling others softwares as own. u are a major thread to bitcoin and its developmet, this is why i dont like u. besides i hate ppl who do lie (so i hate really alot of ppls, but u lie way tomuch in such a bad way) and im alergic against stupidty. this is my (and probably around 90% of bitcointalk users who are wise enough) problem with u, thats it.

[Luke-Jr]

i hate ppl who do lie

It's not healthy to hate yourself.

BTW, I don't lie.

Not quite sure why you have an issue with me correcting Luke's lies.
I usually provide evidence to my arguments pointing out the reason for my posts when he posts shit like that.
I'm sure you enjoy people posting lies regarding stuff you work on - but I don't.
I guess you prefer the lies.

LOL that last line made me laugh.

No he believes in his false God the Pope.
