REGARDING THE SIGT HACK. What I know.
In a YOUTUBE VIDEO regarding how to mine sigt, the uploder has given a link to a moded cc miner that gives 30% extra hash rate and alleged to have been sold by Dev for 25 USD. He decided to share with everyone because he received it for free, he claims.
However I tried mining using the original and the moded one and saw no difference on my gtx 1060.
Besides, what's raising suspicion is that in the bat file, the default mining pool is Yiimp pool.
The uploader's reasoning why he advice people to use yiimp is "although supernova charges the least ( 0 last time I checked for sigt), supernova offlate has become buggy" - clearly no evidence or anything to back it.
Secondly, iv ran UBQ and LBRY mining before and Kaspersky never found virus in them.
Seconds after I ran the moded cc miner with yiimp pool, kaspersky detected and deleted the whole folder.
Thirdly, the video maker has included on how to setup a sigt qt wallet and how to enter the user wallet address into the bat.
From all of the above I feel that Yiimp pool was kept by default and adviced to be the mine pool because yiimp sends mined coins to the wallet unlike supernova. Hacker goes into showing how to set up sigt wallet n address to make sure he can them all with the moded cc miner.

I'm CryptoNoob. Several people had informed me about your post and I wanted to respond to clear things up.
1. I received SPMod3 from a user on the Official Signatum Telegram channel that had sent it to me. I didn't modify anything on it. I simply downloaded it and reuploaded it so that it would help other people out that wanted to see an increase in their hashrate. I did state in my video that it was paid software that normally cost $25, however in the comments I'd stated that I'd made a mistake and that at the time of recording that it actually cost around $127 as SP charges .05 BTC for the software.
2. I've had several people with GTX 1060s have reported that it helped them. If you wasn't noticing an increase in your hashrate, you can always reach out to me or any other member of the Signatum community for help. I'm very active in my comments and I try to help everyone that I can in anyway that I can. The whole reason I started my channel was because I have a lot of faith in Signatum and in the community that stands behind it and wanted to help people who wanted to know how to mine Signatum.
3. By default the batch file does have the Yiimp pool in there. When I received it, it was like that. I advised my viewers to use Yiimp pool as I felt it was easiest for beginners as there was no registration required. I was planning on making a follow-up video on how to mine on registered pools such as SuprNova, but I just haven't gotten around to doing it. I advised that Yiimp Pool did charge a 2% pool fee, but that it was easiest for beginners since they didn't have to worry about creating accounts, setting up workers or anything like that. Not that it's hard to do, but I wanted my viewer to become comfortable with being able to modify the batch files for the settings that best work for them. SuprNova was being buggy for me and several other members of the Signatum community, but only regarding the charts. I can post a screenshot if you wish.
4. Several people within the community and even in my video comments have stated that it worked fine for them and that no viruses were found. I've heard reports that some other mining softwares have been reported as being falsely flagged as viruses. For me Windows Defender showed that it was completely fine, however when try to modify the batch file for the CWI Closed Beta Miner (which I'm currently using), Windows tells me that it could be unsafe. I've never noticed any issues with the SPMod3 file that I did use however.
5. In order to use Yiimp Pool, users need to know their Signatum address as it's the user name when you're modifying your batch file assuming you're using Yiimp Pool. I advised my viewers to change the one that's in there by default to their own and modify other variables such as their intensity setting to best suit the users' individual needs and save the file. There was an address that came with the batch file by default, but it wasn't mine and I'm honestly not sure who's it is.... possibly SP's. I did inform my viewers to change it to their own though.
6. I had heard about the Yiimp Pool hack earlier from within the Signatum community. From what I've heard the hack affected the website directly and didn't involve hacked mining software. I feel really bad for anyone who may have been affected by this hack.
reason why it is not available from drop box and got deleted? (to many users come on 4mb file Signatum Miners not that many)
