Hi!
At final version, it will be open source? Free/paid/f...ing-fee-based?
i have left this question till last - as we have been asked this too many times to ignore ...
so i will copy and paste a response i gave in private message regarding this - and hope that if this question is ever raised again - then it will be answered conditionally by the response ...

Question from Tester - 'When will the CWI Project Miner be able to be used on other pools?'
Answer I gave ...
there is no 'when' ...
our intention is to create a solid powerful stable miner - and to do that - we need a platform to mine on that we control ... otherwise we introduce SO MANY other variables into the equation that we will not be able to control and suitably identify - if issues arise ...
so it will stay locked on our pools for the foreseeable future ...
CWIgm is built for CWI-Mining - and as such will remain tied to that until we can see that it will be suitable for use outside our environment .. and for the reasons explained - the optimization of the miner will come soon - which will make it one of the most powerful miners on the market with its own set of issues bugs ... in an enclosed environment like ours - we can clarify the issues and distill the bugs much quicker than when we introduce other environmental factors such as other pools - other stratum settings - other difficulty systems - etc ...
besides - our pool is just as stable and usable than most other pools - if not moreso with this vulnerability issue recently found in all yiimp installations who have consequently lost coins ... we are happy to accommodate those that do not want to use CWIgm on the pool also - as they can mine with almost any mining software they like as long as they have an account on the CWI-Pool system ... with NO fees to purchase the miner and NO fees to mine with our miner - it makes economical sense to focus the development process and mining to our closed system methodology ...
in saying that tho - anything is possible ... and we are open to a number of scenarios with which we may work with ...
for now - it will stay as it is ...

this response remains as stated - and will do so for the foreseeable future ... this is now reinforced with the chitter chatter about sp - and 'his' mods ... opensource products that he copies and tweaks - then closes and resells to YOU - the community - and makes huge amounts of money in his pocket and for the growth of his farm ... opensource code that he is SUPPOSED to be releasing WITH the miner he is selling you - but doesnt ... and no one in FOSS is policing ...
we will NOT lend ourselves with OUR code - to opensource to people like Rune ( sp ) - where he can copy OUR hard work - and OUR code - only for him to play with a few settings - close the compile and resell OUR work and call it his own like he does with all the other work ... not gonna happen ...
CWIgm is a different miner ... original ideas taken from many many parts of the crypto world - AND from our extensive experience as global miners - but completely rewritten ... with new features - new systems encoded - and soon to be a very new way of mining ... if it takes us another year to copyright the code - we will ... so we have legal recourse again people like sp - who profit off other peoples work ...
now thats been said - CWIgm and the CWI-Projects with do all the talking we need from now on ...
