10% devfee, new user, software bypasses security features...

I'm sure someone may have a use, but IMHO the devfee, and the fact it bypasses security features throws up too many red flags to count...

Good luck poster.  I'm sure you won't be banned (unless you break the forum rules), but expect veterans such as myself to voice concern in regard to the above paragraphs.   Expect some heat when putting your feet in the fire.

I know, i am new in the community.
Dont understand why bypasses security features? if you can explain to me?

I spect some heat about my project i know that.
Thanks for your participation.
 

sorry, I understand it must only be run with admin priv;  that itself raises concerns to me as it must be doing stuff in the system.... 

This is what I was really meaning by saying "bypasses security features".

Obvious Malware avoid

Why not make it open source because you said already that the base is anyway from xmr-stack. Would also avoid bad voices because of viruses. Just my two cents

My question to the author is does this comply with the GPL V3 that XMR-STAK is released under?

I will think about that, maybe i do it...

You should do it because once you release the source to the public other programmers can verify it and remove our doubts because anything run with the Run as Administrator command has full power over the system.To clear everyone doubts you should release the code to the public.Until you do that no one will take you seriously and no one will risk a download except people who use virtual environments for testing.

This was my initial concern, on top of a few other things that don't quite add up....

such as the 10% devfee, but he's using the downloaded binary from github and simply renaming it.....   

sooooo....
are you actually doing 10% devfee total?
or...
10% you have it swapped to your pool,  and the 2% devfee on xmr-stak happens somewhere in the middle since you did not compile it yourself with a 0% actual devfee?? (odds are this was not taken into account so ill mention it)

FYI: A script such as powershell or a batch file can do just the same, and what is happening can be seen by the user.  With [I think] 3 lines of .vbs code you can put any application started in the background if you run it with admin priv.... no need for a sketchy unknown application....  I even posted the source on this very forum for such a thing.

Just saying all of this because this method of release and app control is extremely sketchy in many respects.  No offense meant, just being straight.

2% donation in the binaries are in the place... you say the truth y rename the binarie, because i use xmr stak binarie  ...


So... i do a product that is UNIKE... so i think 10% is right... do a similar product and put less fee...

I realice that xmr stak uses 2 minutes of 100 minutes of mining... I just stop mining in cicles of 30 minutes... so 2% of xmrstak fee dont apply... if they change that thing and make it ramdom it will be apply...  

I know is sketchy, sorry about that, i think i will release the code is in batch ( ), when i do it i will do a post about that. Thanks for yours opinions they are important for me.

The problem when free the code, was the people who wants bypass my code... bye bye 10% fee for me.

But look at the risk of fireice-UK with xmr-stak.... where would YOU be?  (get my drift?)

Many people out there have proven they are willing to support the developer;  even if they provide a way around it....      I mean, you can keep it as you wish, but with it being a big unknown on top of a large percentage.....  that can be the issue.   

You might also want to review the source for xmr-stak, because there could very well be a set of code that varies the devfee mining time... not specifically after x min....   I never reviewed it myself because I simply set the variable to 0 when I compiled; it is like this in many other miners with devfees.   
I left notes on what exactly I changed on my build/compile in my xmr-stak thread if you are interested. 
Also If you want that handy .vbs script for launching processes in system space (background) Click Here.
My batch files could also give you some insight on how to accomplish some pretty crazy tasks in the terminal, and Nemosminer is written in Powershell for a good example of how he did it that way.

Cheers.

I free the code. you can chek it now at: https://github.com/itxmrminer/it-xmr-miner/

Please take a look and tell me what do you think.

About how to compile xmr stak... i doit a lot in linux, but in windows is more difficult. maybe you can give me the binarie. I can post the binarie with fee and without fee.

Click Here for the instructions to compile on different OS including windows.

Install the latest cuda, and the AMD drivers as recommended by the how-to.

I would not recommend you use my binary.   I already had two people use it in a malware program before, and have done my best to mitigate that type of thing up until now since the program version string comes back as XMR-stak-JK.


Just edit these two files:
donate-level.hpp
version.cpp

And compile as per the github instructions.

The instructions are for VS2017, not VS2019.  You can find the link to how to build the VS2019 version in my xmr-stak-JK main thread on this website.... someone else gave me the link, and it is a link to a reddit post with the instructions to compile under VS2019 if you wish to do it that way.... but the official compile instructions are for VS2017, so I suggest you use that.

Compiling can take a bit of time depending on how powerful your system is.


Ill look at your source later and give my input.... I have errands to run right now and I don't have time at the moment to do so.     We do appreciate you posting the source for validation (I believe someone may try to compile and compare binaries, so giving build environment details and variables will help us with this).

I just transform daemonadaware.bat to an exe file with https://mega.nz/#!fYZH2Q4B!kics8bd__232Axn6ijrpaLBNnV_X5j91eFLwbqo4HM4 yo need to check to install.bat too i transform to an exe too with the same program but is not necessary.

You always need admin rights to execute the bats or exes.

nope, a .bat file is treated in the system like a .lnk file.... 

it's the calls within it that can trigger admin priv being necessary. 

Example being a .bat that calls a powershell command to lets say fetch a file from the internet.... or to launch in system space like my .vbs script does.


But I see;  You say you are using a .bat to .exe translator of sorts....    When I have the spare time, Ill look it over... just been busy and dealing extra personal issues recently.

There is that batch file, along with links to all the old and different ones for different tasks over the years that I have made.

mminer can update itself... or be controlled by changing an arbitrary text file on the web, etc....   That one just uses a few powershell calls for the major stuff and some creative variable use and loops for the rest....   

having to use tricks like the 'choice' command for use as a timer makes for creative batch work.

Some are very basic, some do some very interesting things.

but all in all, a batch file is no different than a shell script in linux... it's just constrained to the command interpreter (formerly command.com)... things like incremental nested loops get quite interesting trying to deal with.
