Hi,

I already found out, that this program is a scam by disassembling and debugging. Plus I proposed a method to patch it, so that it will behave like we would have expected. With this modification, all Claymore's DevFeeMining will go to your own ethereum-address and the NoDevFee71-program evolves into a very nice and smooth running tool.

Hi,

I have found no evidence of virus activity in the code and no evidence for the strange redirection to the private stratum-server IP I reported. It could be a result of using the nicehash-software for some time, in between (I use it as auto-fallback, if the main poolmining has a problem).
BUT it has a random redirection to the authors mining-address 0x78.. build in. After I patched the software, all DevFee arrives at my own account, without exception.
The following submitted-shares numbers are broken down for a 100MHs mining rig for easy comparision.

Unpatched NoDevFee (24h run): mean value 176 shares per hour
Patched NoDevFee (24h run): mean value 182 shares per hour

That makes an average of 6 shares per hour mined to the authors purse.

So, dear @Millenium Falcon, thank your for programming this software, but could you please remove the undocumented mining-redirection to your purse? Or, at least, add a note to your posting regarding this topic?

How do you patching the .exe? with x64dbg? Could you add a little guide for do it please?

For the easy-goin you can open the exe with some hex-editor, then either search ASCII for 0x78 or you direct jump to address 00008EE0 (hex). There you find the authors 0x78.. address. Change it to yours and you will be fine

Take care not to change any other byte but the ether-address.

Patch-Tutorial:

Download & Install HxD Editor from here: https://mh-nexus.de/
Download NoDevFee71 and unpack into a folder
Start HxD & use "File->Open" (Ctrl-O), browse to the NoDevFee71-Folder
Open the File "NoDevFee.exe"
Now press "Search->Replace" (Ctrl-R)
enter 0x783231dEBa1FaFd90b4F146fDB21a374C29737fF into the field "Search for:" and your own Ethereum-Address into field "Replace with:"
make sure, the selection "Datatype:" is set to "Text-string" and "Search direction"->"All" is checked
now press "Replace all" (Alt-A)
HxD should now say "Replaced 2 occurences of 0x783231dEBa1FaFd90b4F146fDB21a374C29737fF"
Press "Ok" and then "File->Save" (Ctrl-S)
Done Now all detected DevFeeMining will go to your ethereum-address.

what to do, if an error pops up, after pressing "Replace all":

Error "This replace operation changes file size. Do you want to proceed?" - 1st deny by pressing "No"
.. simply check exactly, if you entered the ethereum-addresses correctly. Check, if you copied in blanks in front, or after the address and remove them
Error "Can't find 0x783231dEBa1FaFd90b4F146fDB21a374C29737fF"
.. repeat the search-and-replace with address 0x69b612b2088a75054de71d7ec10dc50d3be94f55 in field "Search for:"

You are just replacing some "static" strings that show in the program.
There isn't anything being mined to this address.
Stop spreading misinformation.
