Quick question: Luke-Jr just undone changes I made in the P2Pool wiki page, saying: cgminer is pretty much deprecated at this point Why would he say that? Cuz he's a troll? He's been known to bash CGMiner to advocate more people to use his BFGMiner. Sadly, people like Luke actually think they're right most of the time (and I'm not by any means taking sides in Luke vs Con+Kano regarding who is right on anything). In this case, I would guess he thinks claiming cgminer is deprecated is justified because con has taken a week plus off and for whatever reason he thinks he would never need to do that (assuming I am correct, I will disagree with Luke on this point). Nonetheless, what may be more important is what was originally posted and who administers the wiki in question (if wikis can be administered to the extent that forums can, I'm actually not familiar with the internal workings of wikis). As I am not in the know on any of that, I can't provide any helpful suggestions for dealing with that.

It was just some little details, not meaningful. But still, why can't they work together to improve CGMiner? Losing a lot of man-hours with these 2 forks.

I guess he got extra upset about my post regarding his getblocktemplate so went on a wiki rampage He seemed rather irate when he contacted me about it in IRC ... and being childish changing wiki web pages like that is not only very in character for him, it's not the first time. He gets upset about posting his IRC comments (due to the fact he doesn't want people to know what he says) so I won't post the PM IRC conversation - it wasn't in #cgminer Bottom line is, he is extremely difficult to deal with as a programmer and he thinks he is ALWAYS right. Almost every code change I had an argument about with him, he has since implemented or has said he will implement ... at a much later date ... after the reason I gave originally showed up (been good examples of that) If you read his thread on getblocktemplate you should see, showing clearly through that, his controlling and thinking he always right attitude: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108854.0His problem was, after all the shit I had to go through with him, he then directed it at ckolivas. Bad move - end of story. ckolivas own his own git, no one else Edit: a few days later ... he also got his pissy little lapdog gmaxwell to delete my post ...

1. to express earnest disapproval of. 2. to urge reasons against; protest against (a scheme, purpose, etc.). 3. to depreciate; belittle. 4. Archaic . to pray for deliverance from. deprecated is a common term for no longer supported / included. He also said "pretty much" which leaves the comment open for interpretation. I am guessing the entire context still isn't in this thread, but I don't care. I'm only replying to you to say that playing games with semantics really isn't necessary here (under the assumption that you know what deprecated means in this context [assuming the missing context doesn't change that] and are just trolling).

No, he used the word Deprecated not the word Depreciated. Call it trolling if you want. He is still a prick.

In the process of authoring computer software, its standards or documentation, or other technical standards, deprecation is a status applied to features, characteristics, or practices to indicate that they should be avoided, typically because they have been superseded. OK, I won't call it trolling, apparently you were serious. Deprecated is the right word, possibly used incorrectly in this case.

Quick question: Luke-Jr just undone changes I made in the P2Pool wiki page, saying: cgminer is pretty much deprecated at this point Why would he say that? You cut the quote off: cgminer is pretty much deprecated at this point, and the commands added here don't even work with it So ... you gonna leave that comment there and prove what everyone is saying about you ... or remove it? I suspect you wont change it Or will do the usual word games you play. Yes most people who understand english understand the meaning of the word 'and' ... though in well written english you don't put a comma before 'and' ... Now for my comments on the actual issue: The amusing side about it all is to simply look at the wiki and see what's been done. Firstly: the funniest part of it is clearly logged as is the case with the wikipedia software anywhere: https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=P2Pool&action=historysubmit&diff=28709&oldid=28414On 14th July Luke-jr decided to change the web page from mentioning cgminer to only mentioning his cgminer clone. ... rather than adding his miner to the page. Nothing unexpected there - typical of him. He typically has this opinion of himself being all important and this is part of the reason why we usually only refer to him as Jesus in the #cgminer thread ... He's very religious and thinks he's god Next he changed the page coz he didn't like the fact that p2pool is more decentralised than his pool (which it is) so he hid that statement and made the page now incorrect: https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=P2Pool&action=historysubmit&diff=30018&oldid=28709Next Hahahafr tried to fix the 14th July change by adding cgminer back in there - which is of course correct - thanks to Hahahafr for noticing that and fixing it https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=P2Pool&action=historysubmit&diff=30982&oldid=30018As usual though, Luke-jr lies about shit all the time - as here it's even documented - on 19-Sep - Luke-jr rolled back Hahahafr's change - thus putting the p2pool page back to not mentioning cgminer - with the statement as per this discussion https://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=P2Pool&action=historysubmit&diff=31023&oldid=30982As usual, he is also playing word games. One of Hahahafr's changes used the wrong option - that is no longer necessary - so rather than correcting it (remove "--submit-stales") Jesus-Jr uses that as an excuse to lie about shit like he usually does and undo the change removing cgminer from the p2pool page. Sigh - having to deal with shit like this should make it clear why things are the way they are. It's nothing new. His agenda is some sort of power/control of BTC (which has been going on for a long time) and he believes his religious ideals are reason for him to take control and make things only how he thinks they should be - his belief is that he is righteous. I make this comment in all seriousness.

Wow. That's very, very dissapointing. But yes, to be expected from the 2nd coming. Also Luke, you shouldn't be so embarressed about your picture going up. The acne will clear up and facial hair will kick-in once you're through puberty.

Yes most people who understand english understand the meaning of the word 'and' ... though in well written english you don't put a comma before 'and' ... Since the current version of cgminer is apparently pretty stable and this thread is clearly an argument playground right now, I would like to take a moment to correct this. Perhaps you don't use a comma before and in GB English (and IIRC, you are in Australia, where GB English is presumably what is used), but in US English you do (and I don't know or care where Luke-Jr is, he isn't involved in the above quoted portion of your post). In US English, I know you do, and the sentence in question (if it were a sentence) appears grammatically sound... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinating_conjunction#Coordinating_conjunctions

Heh, the more things change, the more they stay the same Nuff said. Anyway unfortunately for some (one?), I'm not dead and was not going to abandon cgminer, but family comes first. Things are still bad there but I'm finding my feet again. I'll look at the stratum protocol at some stage soon.
