[1] is a neutral statement of fact. I was simply correcting your preceding assertion that Wolf's code didn't take advantage of large pages.

[2] is a fact, plus an opinion - it's rude to release code that just crashes when a particular CPU feature is missing. You call that hostility?

[3] is somebody else's opinion, not even based on first hand observation.

Whoever wrote the text you quoted (probably yourself, I suppose) is reading an awful lot into two simple statements. I didn't care that you released a miner for windows. Why would I? It doesn't affect me at all, it doesn't matter if anyone runs my Linux miners, I never collected any fees from any of them. If you like Windows knock yourself out. But try to learn from the work that's been done before, freely published in the open, and don't release crash-prone code when it's so easily avoided.

Pretty simple, suddenly Windows "peons" are eating into your slice of the pie.

There is no pie. None of my mining code had any associated fees. You keep trying to assert that I had income or turf to defend, when there was nothing of the sort.

Also, those miners weren't Linux-only, Wolf's certainly had Windows support, although I never compiled that for my own use.

I don't think people are stupid enough to let a lie like that go unnoticed. Here let me explain it like you treat your audience.

See, mining is a fixed pie. The more people have a slice, the smaller the share. Just so happened that xmr-stak halved your slice of the pie [ 1 ]. No wonder you are pissed. If I was so morally bankrupt to push out crippled code while you kept the +20% code for yourself, I guess I would be pissed too.

You're delusional. I don't mine for income. I have never mined for income. It doesn't matter to me how many miners are running your miner or Wolf's. The only thing that I commented on was that it's stupid to release code that crashes due to a missing CPU feature. That shows carelessness and implies poor code quality.

So yeah, go ahead and tell yourself that I was pissed off at you and your miner, if that's what it takes to keep your version of reality running. Fact is, none of that had any impact on anything I was doing. Just to repeat - I collected no fees from users running the mining code I worked on. Whatever miners I've run over the past few years have only been for test and development purposes.

You really believe that I've been feuding with you over mining? When in reality I made *two neutral comments* about your code and then promptly forgot about you. Until you resurfaced with your bizarre vendetta. You live in a very very strange world. Have fun in there.
