[XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin

[mr_random]

We request that you do not release the beta to anyone that is publicly soliciting funds from others.  

Thanks

No can do. They paid. They're getting the beta. That was the agreement. You can't change stuff afterwards like that.

I also posted early on in this thread that donating might not be the smartest idea, as people who get access to the beta will just resell it cheaper to cover their cost.

It wasn't a payment, it was a donation. The ability to test the miner is a bonus perk and not something you directly paid for. But again, lets not turn this thread back into an argument about what constitutes a donation or a payment. If we do that it just wastes everyone's time and clutters the thread with more nonsense nobody really wants to read.

mtlrt could also decide he's had enough of people trying to profit by reselling and just open source it as well, pissing off everyone.  Or he could make note of the resellers and then not send them the advance copy.  The few resellers upset would be nothing compared to the happy true donators.

In fact, he can not do this, as it will be a violation of the public offer.

As an additional bonus, every donator of 1 BTC or more gets early access to the beta version at least a week before the miner is officially released.

mtrtl could give the miner to people he chooses weeks before he gives the miner to idiots trying to resell it.... and 1 week later he could release the miner to public.

And he wouln't break his word that way.

They're getting the beta, sooner or later

Well, now I know who's not gonna get the miner first.

Since this is what is termed a 'gentleman's agreement', he can change it:

A gentlemen's agreement is an informal agreement between two or more parties. It is typically oral, though it may be written, or simply understood as part of an unspoken agreement by convention or through mutually beneficial etiquette. The essence of a gentlemen's agreement is that it relies upon the honor of the parties for its fulfillment, rather than being in any way enforceable. It is, therefore, distinct from a legal agreement or contract, which can be enforced if necessary.

An honest person would abide by the spirit of the agreement, a dishonest one would try to profit from it.

We see where you fall in this.

Now we know who is at the back of the line or maybe mtrlt should go "soup nazi" on him.

I'm not dishonest. I'm just bitter. I can't mine anymore, anyways. So it does not benefit me.

haha, it's so funny watching all the greedy panicking. 

I only posted a reply to yager's sub offering as a joke and there were already ppl sending me pms offering a whopping 10 xpm to get the script lol.

The funny part is that I have never actually donated anything yet, still waiting for the scheduled 25th of July release!

It's like Hofstader's Law in action!

[tonyk2005]

The amount of bitching in this thread is unreal.
If I was OP I wouldn't give it to anyone at this point.  Keep it for yourself mtrlt, and let the trolls write their own code.

[jasinlee]

What is the current difficulty up to? Do you think we will be finding blocks on xpm anymore when the next numbers get near to http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/math/digit/m57885161/prime-c.html?

[Tamis]

That was bound to happen, especially here... :)

Very amusing !

[crendore]

looks like someone's got their hands on it: http://cryptobro.com

[tonyk2005]

Could be mtrlt testing it himself?
Or a clever troll.

I would imagine that he will have to mine some blocks himself in order to test it out.  At the same time I'm hoping he can give us a status update soon
