VIRUS AVOID Title: Re: [ANN]UnixX Miner Release Post by: joblo on June 20, 2019, 09:35:27 PM I think you overreacted, miners are often flagged, none of the big guys flagged it. (yet)
I was going to post a warning anyway, many red flags: newbie account, closed source, hyped claims. I suggest users wait until someone reliable does a sandbox test. Even if it's above board the performance claims are well within the margin of error and well within the range of existing miners' differences. Is it faster than the fastest? or faster than the slowest but still slower than the fastest? What was it compared against and how was it tested. If it's 2% faster than the fastest it's a significant accomplishment but ity would take a lot of proof to convince me. My guess is it's a newbie (to GPU development) who poked around, tried a few things and perceived something that wasn't really there. But I don't think it's a scam or malware. But I could be wrong.

... I haven't RE'd this one yet to know tho. -j Title: Re: [ANN]UnixX Miner Release Post by: joblo on June 21, 2019, 03:08:47 AM I think you overreacted, miners are often flagged, none of the big guys flagged it.
