I'm only a very small miner (one GPU
) but I have no problem paying the fee.
I have no knowledge coding and without claymores (or others) efforts to make a miner I would not to be able to do this.
I have been reading this thread since the first version of the miner was released and havent commented on many postsbut I have came to some conclusions about some of the commentors: -
Some are unhappy people have sold the Zec they mined straight away instead of holding and keeping the price high. fine for those who can afford to so this but not everyone can. Some of us need to recoup our electricity costs as quick as we can.
people moan about the Dev Fee and the fact that speeds are increasing thus people are making Zec faster meaning the diff goes up quickly. For the dev fee, I dont see people moving over to the free miners out there (mrb's and genoils) or making one themselves, they seem happy to go with the extra speed but still moan because the maker has a fee
As for the speeds and diff increasing for everyone, surely this was bound to happen over time even with just the private mining farms and their private miners?
There also seems to be a bit of air at times that some people seem to think only the big boys should be doing this (at least thats the way reading some comments comes across to me and no I wont quote the comments). I may be wrong and it may just be how I interpret it with me being such a small miner. If this is however some peoples attitude can I just say this, even you once were the newbie just starting out mining. I know some of you have been here since the beginning when BTC was worth NOWHERE near what it is worth now but if you feel this should just be for people with large rigs etc try to think back to when you first started. you didnt have all that equipment, I'm guessing a lot of you have built your rigs over time and didnt just go out and buy everything in one go.
There are those of us just starting out like you did back in the day, tentatively feeling our way in to the cryptomining scene and trying to work out if we can actually make anything out of it.
Sorry for the long post and my ramblings. Flame me if you wish but these are my observances.
My last words will be thank you Claymore for the miners without them I couldnt be doing this, I have used a few of your miners and have never had a problem with the fee.
