Wanted to be upfront and 100% transparent and THANK YOU. When I lost my job I reached out to this group, but also my "cough main group" hense the computer Chess community.
I run the #1 world chess endgame torrent site. Even commericial engines link and "require me" I've hosted, hell even have 4 machines online 24/7 RIGHT NOW for chess authors to run their engines on my OICS (like cgos but for chess) server. So here is where I seriously and humbly tip my hat. I mad both post.. here are the results. I am a 100% Chess AI guy, but got into Go via Don Dailey and still working on my own humble engine. Anyway...out of the donations! Guess how many Chess ppl donated? They are the REAL ones who benefit from my servers? $0 I've been an ass, barely supported CGOS, and honestly feel ashamed of what CGOS has become compared to what it was on boardspace given my timesynchole of a job. But trying to fix that and keep maintaining as long as I'm alive. *drum roll* Know how many paypal donations I've received from ppl here... keep in mind ONLY from this mailing list lol God Bless. Once converted from multiple currencies... over $225!!!! Seriously!!! Been blowing my mind. Think my fav one was from Mrs. Dailey herself recently. Hense why I've am now FULL STEAM to push forward. Anyway... from a person asking for donations... its bad to give $ donated because it honestly will keep future ppl from donating... but honestly right now... I'm just so happy and grateful I needed to share my respect for the community. I spent every $$ to prepay for hosting. We are payed for the rest of the year and still some money in the kitty for future months! Not saying I wouldn't appreciate accept more lol..... but God bless you all who have donated. Seriously. I really want this to work and again CGOS is on the same server as OICS and the torrent EGTB site. You guys are supporting a MUCH larger crown than just CGOS by donating! TYVM!! Seriously tyvm! -Josh P.S. I still accept cryptocoin donations. WAs a lil bit amazed I didnt get any there.. but given the paypal donations... I can't complain and honestly still awestruck of the financial support. Thank you! _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
