so much for cryptonote egalitarian mining...
As I've stated enough times, I think this is overblown, but I hate that this is a hammer being used against a coin when people can't find an actual argument based upon technical or economic merits. So:
if there's not a stratum implementation available within 1 week to allow cbuchner1 to demonstrate his follow-through with open sourcing a miner, I will create one (clarifying: a GPU miner, not a stratum. grin. i'm not that masochistic.), integrated with simpleminer. It won't be pretty, it will be a horrible hack to get it to compile (I'm cmake-clueless), but in a form that someone with c_z's expertise will be able to integrate more cleanly.
I'll start on the core of this now and post some regular updates.
(But please please please - someone do the stratum integration instead. There's a lovely bounty waiting for you if you do. The resulting product will be a much better tool for everyone to use, and I'd rather spend my time doing things that I actually believe are beneficial for BBR, not just combatting an overblown claim being used by detractors.)
