No longer working

[labprocedure]

Why even take the chance with possible malware?  These usually end up taking more than the actual dev fee and go right to the creator of the program.

Look:

- source code is open for anyone to check
- .exe was tested on virustotal and antiscan.me with no positive results

what else can I say?
people are free to analyse and choose to use it or not.

I'm being the most transparent possible.

Normally I would call something like this a scam, virus, etc.  but the source code is listed.  Everyone has the ability to analyze the code and compile it themselves.  I probably won't use this simply because I want to support the dev, but I think the community does need more people like OP, who make free software that is mining related

It is a scam as I found some shares being redirected to this dev's wallet, not ours.

That's impossible.
Please analyse the source code.
Send my any proof by private message so we can dig further on that issue.

Double-check that you started the add-on before the miner

"That's impossible."
You are so funny or desperate.
The source code is not the same after I decompile the executable. I've found your wallet address inside.

Leech, stealing hashrate from others.

Then you do not mind to give us proof itstead of just saying what you say. The truth is in ther proof you show us and no not just copy/paste but a fully explain how and what you used to decompile it.
And bytheway did you compile it yourself or downloaded the .exe file from just somewhere.
Show us with exact steps you took.
Then I might believe you but not before we all have seen the proof.

cheers

It was quite easy to do with x64dbg.
If you go to github you'll find dev's wallet is: 0x851EAa1169f02D4Da54994f9c1C1556636b97279

Using x64dbg, you only need to look for the same exact address. See what I found out below.
Essentially, at some point, the program may intercept dev fee and will redirect it to this wallet, perhaps partially or entirely, but it will.
You can go dipper in the code to see exactly what's going on.

I'm not an expert with this stuff but I wasn't able to reproduce your results. Searching for a string containing that wallet address came up with nothing. Can you provide some direction on how you found it?

Well ... if its false, then it would be very interesting to hear, why "your rig" is mining like this:
https://ethermine.org/miners/851EAa1169f02D4Da54994f9c1C1556636b97279/payouts

.. but nice try.

You simply need to search string references in all modules. Then, on the right panel, you'll come up to the proof I just posted and find the dev's wallet there: https://i.imgur.com/TjUW5Oz.jpg

You can't reproduce the results because this user (VALERYSMYL) is scamming my topic with false information.
There's no wallet inside.
You can compile it by yourself or disassemble the release.
Or check if the devFee's are really being diverted to your wallet as expected.

Do you really think that people on bitcointalk.org are stupid or that you are a smart ass that will be able to scam people here? There's no room for scams. You'll be reported and you're IP is going to get blocked.

As we can see here, this is not from a mining rig + it started earning 16 days ago, exactly the time you posted on this forum and on github.
This dev is clearly a leecher, stealing hashrate from others.

Any admin please report and block this scammer.

[VALERYSMYL]

You're definately trying to scam people.
Now you went on github and changed your donation address.

Here's the proof: https://i.imgur.com/LJZasId.jpg

There's no room for scammers in bitcointalk.org . Nice try.

Why "scammer"? Analyse the source code and compile it from your side. Simple as that.

Also, there's no wallet address on the release files. Nobody was able to reproduce it (as expected).

And yes, I changed the address on the readme, what's the problem in there? Is that what you are referring to as "scamming people"? LMAO

Still trying to act like you are smarter than most people here?
Everyone is able to reproduce it.

Just wait and see, leecher.

can't tell if the exe in the release is malicious
source code is safe though, if in doubt just compile it yourself. thanks for the code, i've fixed a few things and now it works great for me

[xxcsu]

As i said earlier , just repeating myself :

Use only if you can see the source code ... its maybe not a virus , but still can get information from your computer
we saw this many times here in the past, especially in 2017 ...
So if you running something like this on a pc , where you keep important information about your wallet , don't be surprised if all of your hard mined coin going to disappear .
...or your valid shares decline , bc your miner going to mine for somebody else
I would not wasting my time on this kind of things...
IF NO SOURCE CODE , NOT OPEN SOURCE PROJECT,  FORGET ABOPUT THIS JUNK
NEVER RUN ANY .EXE FILE ,OR IF YOU DO USE WIRESHARK OR SOMETHING SIMILLAR TO ANALYZE what your freshly installed junk doing on your network

Coin price up its mean scammers targeting miners, especially newbies with a promise to save on dev fee

Dont be fooled when newbie account creating a .exe file , promising you can save lets say on  dev fee, and another newbie keep saying how perfect is that new .exe file, what another newbie just created
Dont be fooled when the creator make his source code public, its can be totally fake , you need to Decompiling the code , and see whats in the .exe file or compile the file yourself from the source code , if you want to stay on the safe side

Can you make a pull request? The community would be thankful.

Just stop dude, delete your account and try again but this time be less stupid.

I'm still not able to reproduce it. I searched for that string in all modules just like you said and it came up empty. I guess it's possible the binary has changed since you found that address, but the copy that I have does not have it.

For the record, I've paid the devs ~$20 since January, which I feel is a fair license fee for software that works well for me so I left the devfee alone on my system. This was purely out of curiosity.

Also, in case anyone is worried that the miner dev isn't going to be able to pay his rent this month because of this tool, this is one of the dev pool accounts. At current prices, earning >30k USD per day.

I have just checked and yes, with the current copy on github, this dev has hidden the address. I'll find out where he put it.

If you want to test the previous version, I have a copy.

In any case, this is a scam and this dev is clearly a leecher.
Look at his allegdly "mining rig". LOL

I don't want to contribute because I don't know if there are any legal consequences. However, the major bug was that it doesn't work for ipv6
