Neoscrypt for nvidia cards based on cuda: Call for donation.
-
Thanks. OK I retract my offer stick your miner up your arse!
;D fair enough (although it was written before anyone made an offer and when the discussion was just centered on paying part of ghostlander card… so sorry but up to then, yes I had just the feeling to either be on the wrong forum or discussing with morons who wouldn’t even answer to me… :)) )
-
In his defence, for Bitcointalk, that’s pretty tame. :)
-
okay fuck it, I’ve thought about if I should speak my mind or not all night and I’ve decided I’m not gonna hold it in…
Some of us tried to be helpful, we saw something that could be for the greater good. We even discussed it privately andcame to the conclusion that there’s nothing wrong with you wanting to get payed either.
Meanwhile, you go acting like a fucking five year old just because you get into an argumentation with one other member, and based on that calls us all morons over at btc-talk.
Well, you know what, your’e just a fucking douchebag with absolutely no honor or morale what so ever. It seems like you’re just like all the other pump n’ dumpin leeches in the crypto scene, just in it for a few quick bucks but with no intentions what so ever trying to make the world a better place.
So either release the kernel open source and do what’s right, or just go fuck yourself somewhere else.
-
I wish I’d not posed that now haha. He deserves another chance, everyone comes round to the feathercoin way of thinking eventually. ;D
-
Now lets get back to being our usual civil selves. Would you like a member of the team to hold a donation address? :)

Actually this message happened before you posted that… (and actually probably around post 16…and 5 days after the initial post without any useful input…)
Sorry but in that context when you post a serious proposition and that the only answers you get are someone telling he can do better and the other one telling he will buy him a card… sorry but out of frustration “bunch of morons” still applies and we are not far away from standard bitcointalk trolling (and I must admit that my first answer to my first post on bitcointalk was a lot less insulting than the one I got here). So don’t expect me to apology for that…
Now you can think whatever you want about me and my honor, I couldn’t care less.
It isn’t about making a quick buck (and there is nothing wrong with that) but rather to have a fair distribution of the resource.
I personally find completely abnormal that I will get donation in general always from the same 10~15 people while a miners gets downloaded 1000 times (was the case for xcn miner actually). They are not richer than the 985 others who didn’t donate, don’t have huge farm either and there are among these 985 others people with large resource.
So basically, and sorry to contradict you, releasing to everyone, clearly doesn’t make the “world a better place” and on the contrary tends to increase the inequality… There are way too many selfish individual who just expect things to happen, and won’t do anything at all to help the community. And until this behavior changes, I don’t plan to change the way I release new miners.
So if you think it is just about making a quick bucks think twice before insulting me and my honor and review a bit your concept of “better place” because right now, crypto is very far away from it (and it is probably more the collective responsibility of coin dev (or so called, I don’t accuse you) than mine or any gpu dev)
I guess, if you don’t want to organize anymore the donation, I will chose your second choice and what I said before still stand if there isn’t enough donation (meaning enough people donating not the amount donated) then I will only give the miner to those who donated, because in current context, it is the only fair thing to do.

Well if the offer still stand even after my previous message, why not. :))

Look, people’s time is important and I agree in crypto currently we haven’t got the incentives and rewards correct, the bad apples still make a killing and the good guys get forgotten, it’s the puzzle that keeps me awake at night, sadly with no answers. So whilst, I give my time away for free and would love donations (please tip me), it’s not my place to expect others to do the same so you won’t hear me asking. I’d much rather you came on here as a good guy and be hailed a hero than depart a villain. Unfortunately, throwing apples at Ghostlander isn’t the way to win friends round here, to everyone here he’s a hero who we owe a debt of gratitude for his work developing Neoscrypt.
So can we just be nice to each other FFS haha :)

Hello,
if you did make a donation for ccminer, could you please pm your txid so I can send you the binaries (I have a few more donations than people…)

Hello djm34
Thanks for your offer. To clarify, is your pieces of software NeoScrypt ready?
Ghostlander, how much improvement will you expect in the hashrate once you start working on a 980GTX?
-
yes it is ready
doing 620~630kh/s on gtx980
around 500kh/s on gtx970 (from what was reported)
300kh/s on 780ti
155 (my card) up to 175kh/s (reported) for the gtx750ti

Very good djm,
Are you willing to get paid only in BTC? No FTC? There is no force…But we are sure our coin will continue to live happily ;)

I would tend to prefer donation in btc… each time I get donation in an other currency, it goes down… so if you want to avoid having ftc cursed, better donate in btc ;D .
more seriously I don’t mind that much, if you prefer to donate in ftc, you can send to that address: 6esbN82brbg3eai8fqzNGm5tmbpiYu3czM
-
Unfortunately I have to say that 5btc is a lot for us right now.
Liz and Ghost have barely received pocket change for all their work they’ve done on ftc and they have been working very hard for well over a year now.
I’d hate to say it, but until prices improve, no one here on the team can fork out that sort of crypto.
Please don’t take any of this the wrong way, but we really aren’t the most cashed up community at the moment.
-
Also, If had the money, I would gladly buy the whole project and open source it.
I’ve done it in the past and it bit me in the butt, to a degree. I appreciate your help though.
-
up to now, the binaries are given to anyone giving at least 0.02btc, I am not asking anyone to give 5btc.
Also the 5btc isn’t that high, it just means that everyone has to play the game (in that case 250ppl and I would assume that a coin like ftc has more than 250 users), not only a few…
A previous miner I released was downloaded, the last time I checked, 1325 times (I let you do the calculation… and it is only for the windows binaries…) so seen like that what I put as objective isn’t really high. (for the record I got donations from 10~15ppl… and it was the same people who donated at my previous release and donated as well to others gpu dev… )
And quite frankly it is in everybody interest as well as for the coin itself that people contribute a little more than just dumping it…
I tend to believe that if a donation is asked, people will tend to care a little more about what they mine…
-
Again, as Calem said, the current situation does not mean that your efforts are not worth that much. At all. We believe that 5 BTC for any developers like you and alike is even very little. Our main developers have gotten almost nothing as money for their efforts yet.
The problem is that funding process will be highly unlikely to succeed as the FTC price is low. Furthermore, the team are putting their time *and* money into other projects prioritized before.
However, this does not mean that we have no interest in your work! Keep it alive and I hope things will become better.
-
Ghostlander, how much improvement will you expect in the hashrate once you start working on a 980GTX?
I don’t think I can do any estimates without even getting started. In general, if you need a fast NVIDIA miner for personal use, paying 0.02 BTC to djm34 is more cost effective.
-
0.02btc is a pretty fair price. Hope you get a few more donations as I do believe peoples time and efforts should be rewarded.
-
I would honestly chuck in, I could cover 0.5 btc… but im not doing it unless im allowed to give it away to everyone for free…
And 5 is just too much… It’s like half of my total crypto holdings and the volumes/prices don’t exist for me to dump my alts.
I can’t mine where I am anyways.
