Its a christmas miracle! Wolf has apparently exceeded the last performance milestone (750 h/s), which is friggin awesome.

Unfortunately, my original milestone payout map was misunderstood by everyone. See, it was supposed to be differential - as in, 400 h/s gets 500, then 400-500 gets 250, then 500-600 gets 250. I wrote it like I did because I figured it made sense regarding the first payout. I.e., if Wolf's first release hit 400-500, then he would've gotten 750. Made sense in my mind. Let it be known you shouldn't rush your pitches and write them at 2 AM.

Anyway.

As some have noticed, the payout for the last milestone (400 - 500) was 750, instead of 250, which is why none of the numbers add up, and our funding will be short if we plan to payout the next milestones using the numbers listed: 1000 xmr for 500-600 h/s, and 2000 xmr for 600 - 750 h/s (as opposed to subtracting between them).

Wolf has been super understanding about the whole thing, and has agreed that for the next milestone (the one currently on git that gets between 500 and 600) that a payout of 750 is fine. For this payout to occur, we still need people to confirm on some hardware that we're seeing those hashrates, and then some binaries will be released. Where my AMD people at? Also please confirm the stability of these new versions - run the thing for a while.

For the final milestone of 600 - 750 h/s, wolf has apparently surpassed this, hitting 770 h/s on samsung memory and 780 on elpida. This version hasn't been pushed to git yet - Wolf is waiting for payout for the previous milestone. Wolf is expecting 2000 xmr for this final milestone.

So, in summary, there is 1500 xmr left in the current funding account for this project. Wolf expects to get 2750 for the work optimizing the speed of the miner. And then there is the milestone for solo mining capabilities, which is another 750. So we're looking at another 3500 xmr in funding commitments, with only 1500 xmr left in the account. So, we ultimately need to get 2000 more xmr into the account.

I sincerely apologize for my wording on the damn pitch. I don't think anything needs to be done for the thread to get things going - I sent an additional amount of XMR to the above address and payment ID - I think we can exceed the 100% mark and it just keeps on going.
