There is a free version of Awesome Miner available that most people run. For those having many miners, there are paid editions available as well.

should be free with donations like ccminer

Can you legally use open source code to make a for sale product?

Awesome Miner has been around for a while, but used to only support connecting to Cgminer & Sgminer for centralized management of GPU (mainly AMD) and ASIC mining.

I've had several user requests to add support for nVidia CUDA mining as well, and that's what the latest version includes - support for ccMiner in addition to the other supported mining software. I've also worked on adding the popular Profit Switching feature to work in combination with ccMiner, and all that is included in the free version of Awesome Miner.

It's of course possible to have discussions about if open source, open source with donations, pure paid versions or a combination of free and paid versions are the best alternative for everyone. From what I've seen from other projects is that donations doens't really work, even if many of people are talking about it.

Awesome Miner is a combination of free and paid software. I like that people use the software I develop, so for that reason I provide a free version that the majority of the users can run. However, I also think it's fair that those who really use the advanced features and have mining as more than a small hobby actually are the one that pay for the software - to support the development and make it available for everyone else.

This must be some kind of misunderstanding. Awesome Miner doesn't include any code from ccMiner, Cgminer, Sgminer or any other open source project.

You need to download the ccMiner software that performs the actual mining in order to actually mine with your nVidia GPU - just like all users so far had to download Cgminer or Sgminer. Awesome Miner is just a management and monitoring (and much more...) application.

except if we (cg/sg/cc Miners dev) were doing like you, you wouldn't have anything to sell

How can you NOT know how to use AWS to mine...?

i really dont know how. if its a long learning process l may not learn in time.

I don't understand what point you are trying to make here?
If Sgminer would cost money, people that want to use it would buy it. Then they can use Awesome Miner, either free version or paid version, to connect to their Sgminer's and get a great mining management and monitoring application. That would work perfectly fine.

new version of ccminer with improved m7 (binaries, source a bit later today or tomorrow... as I need to figure out what I changed... and a few things I want to check)
hashrate for 750ti (+135/150): 5.5MH (+500kh)
                 780ti (OC)         :13.5MH (~1MH)
                  660                  : 4.2MH (+200kh)
also added average hashrate (thanks to cayars...)

[yellowduck2]

2 - 3 more weeks , we shall see if 900 series is a game changer.

Why do I have the feeling Nvidia is skipping the 800 series naming so they can call it the 900 series and increase the price from the 880 msrp of $499 (I am too lazy to look this up to show where I seen this)..

I guess we will find out in a few weeks.

hi bigjme and +1 to that

No, it's more disappointing people need to do that to get paid at all. We all know 99% of people don't donate.

Open source VS Close source.

The debate has been going on for years.

actually what is disappointing also is that de sg/cg/dev don't get anything because donation is very limited but on top of that you get some using the name and the popularity of these software to sell something else...

So basically it is a double ripoff of dev assets as the guy won't even send a dime to the developpers who wrote these softwares which without them he wouldn't be able to sell anything.
