[ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

[djm34]

Well your same argument applies to GPU mining. So why do people do it? Because its profitable to do so. Do they need that many GPU's for any practical purpose? No. If it became not worth it anymore then the drives can still serve other functions just as GPU cards do.

except the price of a gpu card won't half every year

no just spread it to those of us you know
mega secret hidden section in cudamining.co.uk just for the elite group, away!!!!!!!

Not a bad idea really for those of us who have been in the forum for a long time. Apply for reg to "secret section" , check member posts for activity and reliability ( non coin abuser ) Incentive would be for those in, to "not talk about fight club" to retain profitability of advantage....crazy? Also would narrow down non donating users...right..? Those with history and specific advantage (whatever it might be) would be more likely to donate, thus reducing "bleeding" of advantage and therefore loss of reward overall to author of said advantage.......do I sound elitist... eh..oh well LOL

I kind of like the idea, tbh.

Honestly i have been contemplating it for a while now, even not just for an advantage but for some of us to share tips/ideas privately

I honestly think it's a great idea, with true merit. If this goes to a "vote", community-wise, you can count me as the first "yay!" lol! 

[bigjme]

Lmao :p
i think a lot of new members or those that don't talk much will hate the idea, dev's would get in instantly
May be a way to get donations though, like a donate x btc to get access, so those staking money will get the advantage

Seems a little cheeky and unfair but....

Makes sense really...Nvidia at this time only has a few distinct advantages over AMD, and when these larger farms, namely Chinese (Nvidia) super farms get ahold of miners its over. They already hold equipment pricing advantages so why give them another. And I'm not talking about every coin/algo that comes out, just the ones that matter, that give distinct advantage.

...and how could you know who's a big-cheese-chinese-superfarmer and who is not?

[bigjme]

That's the problem, there is no way to know.
But if their willing to give to the community are you so fussed if it gives dev's incentive to write more software?

The only issue with the system is, people will start to feel left out and not like the idea. Especially those that don't donate

Well, this may not be taken well by some, but this "level the playing field" stuff is crap. This is a free market - no? So you will have people who can do the coding, who will choose to keep it to themselves for the profit. Good for them! It's all good. You have those who will share everything freely, and water down the market. Great - that's a nice thing to do. But it doesn't seem that there is much middle ground for those who don't have the technical abilities, but would be willing to "put their money where their mouth is", so to speak. I don't think you could make it exorbitant, but hey. I'd sure be willing to pay to make some money. People pay damn good money for a financial planner/adviser, or a stock broker. What's the difference here? You're paying for someone's ability to help you profit - right?

As I said, I know it won't be taken very well by some, but I think it's something that warrants discussion. Just my BTC.02

I doubt that anyone who has been here for a decent length of time or who participates here is one. The incentive to not sell to or give a superior miner to a "superfarm" would be to keep ones own advantage. Self preservation really, give away a watered down version to keep up the interest, something just a bit slower. It's not like it doesn't happen already. I just think organizing the strategy would be more profitable all around for those involved, miners and code writers alike.
Only way to become profitable again with all junk that is floating around. We keep talking low profits due to poorly designed coins/systems, this is one way to win it back.

+1 exactly!

[PVmining]

...don't get my wrong, I'm not averse about the Cuda-Core-Club idea.
But I think it will be not as easy to get it on the ground sensible.

Here we go, everyone fill it in and we will see the outcome

I personally am fine trying to set it up but it is going to be a pain, and people will hate others for it.
I know for sure i will get a lot of hate for it

I'd be very much interested in something like this. While I can't code I feel like I could help with researching/keeping tabs on coins, helping others with technical stuff/tutorials and all that stuff as I'm not very busy lately. And I think people in a small circle would be much more appreciative regarding donations if they would have a slight edge over the general public even if it's temporary. I mean don't get me wrong, I don't wish to exclude anybody but the hot stuff always gets broadcasted rapidly through multiple channels reaching miners who never even posted here.

Yes, true. btw @bathrobehero you are one of the first people I remember when I got started in cryptos...kinda like my first "crypto hero" ..lol

[myagui]

I just took the official vote #1 for "yay".  

Actually, if I dig around my own posts, I'm pretty sure I've already suggested we establish a cuda mafia group (mafia, as in, family style, trust above all else, betrayal = rigs on fire, etc, etc). Good timing and all, as I had just donated  

Now in all seriousness, a group of hand-picked members, collaborating to preserve profitability, and to reward miner coding, I'm all in! I've even got a private tip already for the "next big opportunity" that we'll have *if & when* a certain coin launches and depending on the final algorithm spec. Now that's gotta be worthy of a membership title!  

On other news: my motorcycle is for sale (two of them actually), I'll take BTC or XMR.
I'm located in Portugal, so I don't think I stand much of a chance of striking a deal here...

Thank you bigjme! Voted YES!!  We can makes this work, it won't be too hard , ...and its better than doing nothing about the reality of things we have been discussing.

BTW there is no such thing as bad publicity, (haters) it just gets people talking about it , then thinking about it.
There are so many smart participants here , it'll work.
