I sent a private message to Claymore to ask him to comply with the MIT license. I think it’s more polite/appropriate than messaging him publicly.

ok
im still making a
“Is claymores miner claymores?” video to ask others what they think.
because honestly he is making 2.5% on his miner that is not even his, and if people are going to give him that money, they should know what has happened
Well that is your call and far more polite than I would be. He made money off your work publicly and you mildly chastize him privately. Hardly seems right, but your call.
Thanks for your work 
Guys, you are assuming he stole ALL my code. But there is no evidence he did. Just blake.c. Just 100 out of 4000 lines. I do think he probably wrote most of his own miner. Give people the benefit of the doubt.

Right, so shooting someone with 1 bullet is less worse than shooting someone with 100 bullets?
He has been in the game long enough to know that doing things intentionally is against the law and he would be throwing his toys out the cot if the roles were reversed.
He should send his code to you for review. You can look it over to see how much you have been infringed and seek a proper resolution. Please remember I have not made any accusations at all, simply made public the concerns of you and others.

btw he should add in roadmap - v6: maybe Intel support
Still trying to work out how to overclock in Ubuntu 16.04…
Will need to find a few guides.
As for the Fan… still have a few issues with a few of my rigs…
IE one rig will set fans for cards 1 and 3 but not 2…
we will get there. 
@cryptomined when no arguments are passed to silentarmy, I wanted to make it connect to a pool and mine, to act as a sort of quick test. It’s useful for someone who just downloaded & compiled silentarmy and wanted to check if it was working (and yes it’s also one way for it to mine donations for me). It’s explained in the README.md

@Genoil Wow, impressive effort Genoil! Maybe I’ll pick up your work when I add Windows support to SA.
As to the miner being a separate executable that you communicate with via stdin/stdout, I don’t understand why you say this is not what Joe Miner wants. This is just an implementation detail and Joe Miner is typically unaware of it. So why would it be a problem?

@nobody Thanks! Actually I saw eXtremal’s patch to my OpenCL kernel yesterday, and I too saw that he only had to fix unaligned memory accesses. So it looks like the Nvidia port will be relatively easy.

@dlehenky Nicehash seems to have 1 of their 2 servers behind equihash.eu.nicehash.com fixes 17 bytes of the nonce, and the other one fixes 5 bytes. That’s why connecting to nicehash sometimes works, and sometimes doesn’t. More info here: SILENTARMY v5: Zcash miner, 115 sol/s on R9 Nano, 70 sol/s on GTX 1070

ok ill check that, thanks
and I honestly think he just ripped off the entire miner, otherwise the speeds would not have been identical.
It also seems that his V1.1 got a bit of a speed bump… co-incidentally right after NerdRalphs mod came out.
there is no such thing as a co-incidence, all is connected.
if he wrote any code himself for the actual miner, we would have seen variance in the hash rate.
you should at least ask him to show the public the rest of the code, and if its your miner, he should rename it “marc’s miner”
I agree and think this is only fair
he has not only used lines of your code, but really lied to everyone who mines with his miner in order to try and make a 2.5% profit… it does not matter if it was 1 line or the entire miner - he lied by not telling the truth. and that feels bad, it must feel bad to marc and i know it feels bad to me as a user
One would also have to wonder, how much of his ethminer is ripped off from SG-miner? that should also be looked into.
are any of “claymore’s miners” really claymore’s???

I can’t see the comparison very easily… Does that show its different code or the same?
