Title: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit? Post by: mewantsbitcoins on June 10, 2011, 12:48:34 PM Anyone else got this shit?
Hi Jason, Long time I have not seen you on IRC? What's up? I do not know if you still use DiabloMiner on your GPU cluster? I have bought the same config you have and I have tested DiabloMiner on it. I can produce 3Gh/s. That's quite good. Yesterday I have talked with Alex, he has developped an optimizated version of DiabloMiner. He has committed the soft on github: https://github.com/speedygonzalez/OptDiabloMinerII I have tested it, it's quite good, I can produce 1Gh/s more. You may try it... I hope to see you soon on IRC!!! === Uwe Oops, My last mail was not for you, do no consider it. Sorry, === Uwe Title: Re: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit?

Title: Re: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit? Post by: rezin777 on June 10, 2011, 01:09:20 PM It looks that it's only two of us. Interesting.. Very strange. Did you happen to report the messages? I think one of us should, but I don't want to add clutter to the admins work load. Title: Re: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit? Post by: mewantsbitcoins on June 10, 2011, 01:11:21 PM No, I haven't, but will do.
Title: Re: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit? Post by: gentakin on June 10, 2011, 01:25:29 PM This might even be a license violation, depending on the diablo miner license. I can't find the source for this "optimized" diablo.
Of course, as this guy is a scammer, he probably doesn't care about licenses. Maybe the diablo dev should report him to github? Title: Re: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit? Post by: nelisky on June 10, 2011, 01:35:24 PM Got it, posted on irc, got directed here.
The forum message volume is starting to make it hard to keep up and know these threads exist. Oh, and I was called Pat, not Jason ;) Title: Re: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit? Post by: Zagitta on June 10, 2011, 01:37:00 PM Hmm i've had a look at it in a dissassembler and haven't found anything suspecious... Be cautious about running it tough, i might have missed something
Title: Re: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit? Post by: gmaxwell on June 10, 2011, 01:39:43 PM Anyone else got this shit? No, but I looked inside the binaries provided and two things are obvious: (1) The code has been through a java obfuscator (ProGuard), so it's hard to tell what it's doing. (2) The CL code, however, is unchanged from the normal diablominer. _Hopefully_ this just connects you to some other pool. But I am not even that optimistic. If you have run this on a computer with a wallet.dat I think you should treat that wallet as compromised. Title: Re: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit? Post by: DiabloD3 on June 10, 2011, 05:44:13 PM I reported it to GitHub as a GPL violation. Lets see what happens.

Title: Re: SCAM ALERT! Anyone else got this shit? Post by: theymos on June 11, 2011, 02:56:32 AM A ton of people got these. I banned the sender after getting mewantsbitcoins's report. I didn't clear the PMs (since doing this is complicated), but I marked his account to warn people.
