Kano just "re-frames" his previous tune when it suits him and "re-spins" prior history when he starts to look bad in context.

Show one example of each of those 2 lies you posted ... one ... just one ... not two, not three ... just one of each.
Can't find them? Yes now you understand why I think you are a complete lying piece of shit
No, you "poser". I don't have to lie. You said so quite clearly several times. Other people have quoted you before.
Spin is not the basis of an argument.
Basically all you are saying is that if you were in my situation you would be demanding Avalon to be giving you something.
I haven't done that ... any where ... any time.
You are correct, you didn't "demand" you stated you wouldn't be coding for the Avalon (at the time) if you didn't receive any hardware.
When I confronted you about this and told you to pay for it, you had plenty to say about why you didn't think you should.
Case closed.Then you went on a limb, posturing about how you don't believe you should code "for free".
When I put forth the idea that you could make a repayment you avoided the idea with a retort as to why "you think" you should be "compensated".
Every argument you stood behind was about getting free hardware without any payment.
You then went on another limb that "donated" hardware was cheaper than paying a programmer.
Do you see your angle in the grand scheme of things? ------------------------
Your later hostile attitude followed your [apparent] realization that you weren't going to get your way. Followed by BitSyncom asking you to "fuck off" a few times. (Primarily because you kept pestering him about that and the source code.)
In the past (a year ago) I received an Icarus from ngzhang after helping xiangfu to solve the problems he had to get the Icarus code to work.
After I found out he was really sending it to me, I offered to buy (and paid full price) for a 2nd one, since he was giving me one.
Seemed fair that he would still make some money out of me ... and I could 'just' afford to buy the 2nd Icarus.
I've also bought a (full price) Icarus DevKit from him much later ... to get the jTag cable.
That is nice of you.
But every instance where you have been approached with the idea of purchasing hardware in the last month has been rejected for one reason or another.
Including the idea of paying back the hardware by the coins it generated.
So your past actions has little relevance with your present attitude.
The (only) other person (so far) who has supplied me with a mining device is Tom from bASIC.
He sent me an MMQ which I said (before he sent it) that I'd pay for it with the results of the mining from the ASIC device he was going to send me (yeah I can't afford to buy stuff
) I have since pretty much completely rewritten the MMQ code in cgminer, so that it actually works (which the code didn't) and is second to none in performance and error handling. I've even again this week done more critical work on the MMQ driver (all that possible since I actually have one)
The first point to make is that the MMQ is an FPGA device. It is the older generation and therefore we are again talking about the past.
Now, I fully understand you are unable to buy hardware. Okay, I get it and respect your situation.
There are viable alternatives you could hash out with each company to pay for the devices at either a [possible] discount rate or through the [possible] BTC generated by the device once it is in your hands.
These are all ideas that didn't sit well with you. You made it positively clear you don't want that. (You may perhaps change your mind in the future, who knows?)
For the last 2 months I've been writing the basis of a new USB interface in cgminer (no doubt it will need more work and improvement in the future) so that when ASIC devices do finally appear, I can ensure that I can write a driver as quickly as possible so that when the devices are shipped, they will have cgminer support.
I've ensured that by already rewriting the MMQ and BFL FPGA drivers to use it.
Alright.
Yes of course I will never begrudge receiving BTC for mining with the devices I am given - why would I?
I don't begrudge it coz I know I will spend a lot of time and effort (as I have over the last year and do almost every day) working on improving and supporting cgminer.
Now you want "compensation". I have mentioned before that if you want to be compensated then you should perhaps seek a contract with the vendors.
Not an "implicit" contract, but a very clear and outlined one.
If a company is not willing to play ball, you seem to resort to maligning them. (disguised as other issues.)
Even when the Avalon device first showed up, I was interested in helping that person with it - but oddly enough he was quite antagonistic about me helping ... which eventually I said I wouldn't any more (though I did).
It was indeed amusing to see the screen generated by my code to prove the performance of the Avalon.
I think you are missing the point of open source software.
You give and commit to it freely. If you are looking to use it
as a form of implicit hardware exchange, then perhaps you should re-evaluate your goals.
Once Avalon releases the source code you won't have much to begrudge. I doubt that will stop you though.
This is what I've done and been doing.
Don't telling me I have your crappy values and ideals - I don't; and anyone, including the clearly corrupt piece of shit Jeff Garzik, who thinks they want to say my ideals match their crappy, shit ideals can go fuck themselves.
Your wrapper is coming off.
Here is some tape to hold it together:
You are clearly conflicted. You want people to believe one thing about you in your posturing, but in every other page you reinforce exactly what is being pointed out about you.
Don't slam Jeff, he paid for his hardware. Have you?
