When was the last time anything from sp_ produced this kind of an improvement FOR FREE?

When I did opensource work i pushed the most profitable algos at the time like quark +50% faster. for FREE. I have done my opensource part for the community. Time to move on and let the cuda students take over. 4-5 years ago mining was done by the few in their garage and basements. Today you have bigger farms, bigger coins, and more money invested in equipment. Improving the money maker for free doesn't make sense anymore.

This is your opinion. A lot of people are working on free miners and other tools.

You'll earn a lot more from devfees compared to a flat subscriber's fee if you release your mods publicly, assuming that they are indeed the best for the given algo.
EWBF still earns $6000 PER DAY even though he abandoned his miner a year ago. Claymore earns more than $10k per day from his devfees.

Yes, there are always ways to disable the devfee, but they are a very very tiny minority that are not even a rounding error. Think about it.

everyone wants something for nothing ; "give me something for free, so I can increase my profits".
if SP_ doesnt want to release his stuff for free, thats down to him.
How much money he wants to make in a day, thats down to him.
choosing to pay/not pay for his mods - down to you.

But SP_ being an oldtimer in crypto and assuming his all for the ideas of decentralization and fair distribution etc.

Selling his miners to only big farms as small time miners will struggle with ROI by spending hundreds of $ on a miner vs earning profits by sharing to the public with devfee kinda works against all that.

Im sure he is a great guy and much smarter than most of us and has his reasons. But still..

[Bixbitecoin]

Does it support Heavy?

[sp_]

Primecoin has risen +500% in a week and is now very profitable to mine... ($10 a day on the 1080ti), but the free miners require alot of cpu to run. On a celeron rig, you are lucky if you get more than 3 cards running.

i don't remember what algo it use?

[sp_]

it uses the primecoin algo. not supported by ccminer, nicehash or any of the autoexchange pools. The opensource miner is unstable, no api support, but very profitable. But you need a fast cpu. I5 or I7++

[Bimmber]

Primecoin is a CPU mined cryptocurrency.

i have an i3 should be enough, what about releasing your modded version of this miner?

Let's move some budget into bitcore. In 3 months the price has been shredded..

Why not in Lux did the same drop

Sp do you have a fast stable c11 miner? Stipend seems to be a good choice atm...

[sp_]

yes. I have a fast private C11 miner.

I would like to point out that OhGodAnETHlargementPill is provided FOR FREE to the mining community.

In my case I have (amongst many other Nvidia cards) 2 x MSI GTX1080 Gaming X cards.

When I used the pill in ethos (linux mining distro) and Windows 10 mining with ethminer (the cuda dagger-hashimoto miner that hashes as well or better than Claymore but has NO FEE) both 1080's went from approx 21-23mh/s to 30-33mh/s - or an approximate 45% improvement.

This was from a piece of FREE SOFTWARE given to the community just to make those people with GDDR5x memory on their Nvidia GPUs work better.

I have read reports of people with 1080ti's going from 30-33mh/s to 48-52mh/s.

Hey @sp_ - OhGodAGirl has better skills and better ethics than you.

You would work well in a infomercial.

Also I don't think you understand just how much money private devs like this have made and why they can do pet projects like that for FREE. It's like a billionaire making a non-profit and putting a fractional amount of effort into it. Is it great? Sure, but also understand there are a lot of other things that are currently more profitable then Eth they could've been working on and helped the community out with. Eth is a last stand for mining Nvidia, so you generally wont be touching it till we're in a really tight spot. And then it doesn't help people out who have bought non GDDR5X cards.

That is how most of the major developers work. SP just advertises his. Where do you think Wolf0 gets his money or viral marketing scheme girl?

Hi, apparently, theses releases don't respect the GPL licence, your software is based on ccminer code, open source and free software under GPL v3 Licence.

Your have to release the licence source code of your releases, without that, your releases are not legit/legal, it's WAREZ.

Actually your asking fee, but you theft the code for your own profit and keep what you have added for your own profit too, this is bad, and selfish, if your don't release the source code, including your own added code. Please respect the work of original dev's, comply with the law, free software has licenses like any proprietary software, acting in a manner contrary to these licenses equates your actions to piracy, counterfeiting.
If your don't, GPL violation will then have to react to enforce the law.

Thanks

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.

The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.

For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.

Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.

Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

Lol, still bitmain&ccminer discuss?

one thing that dont changed...?
