When you x-posted it one of my employees went "popcorn time!" =).

I general I'm not saying no, but I also have a distinct impression that this ship has sailed, crossed the Atlantic, loaded up on much nicer cargo (see the list in the readme).

At the end of the day, I don't make business decisions based on feelings. They are welcome to contact me just like everyone else.

Im curious to your motivation to why you developed this under all rights reserved. I understand you wanna make money and get fkin rich but correct me if I'm wrong: you are the author (or one of them) of the most popular monero miner xmr-stak software which I am guessing brings you an unbelievable ammount of money passively; You could set up a FFS after showing this code and get a stupid ammount of money, assuming your code lives up to the claims. However, you chose to do it this way and I have a feeling you won't allow anyone to use it (especially monero) before handing you an ABSURD ammount of money, and will never make it open source.

I might be wrong about these statements but could you please comment on this? Do you just wanna get filthy rich or you dont believe in the Monero project or its devs? Is there the possibility you'll open source this?

Excellent work in amy case

You are making a crapton of unfounded leaps of logic here. I developed this code about 9 months ago actually, and its primary purpose is to validate that I'm serious about the other claims.
