I have ran this miner for a month, mining sigt.   I had fantastic result 135 Mh/s vs 111 with claymore.  I didn't see anything fishy just great result and stable. 


Shame that developer abandoned it

Yep and i lost all my coins on the mining site too as it shut down....  oh well     live and learn... make sure to move coins to my wallet asap ... i suppose

is it even safe to use this miner ? Cry
it was suggested on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2105778.2360
but when i tried. v0.0.12-ALPHA

https://www.virustotal.com/ru/file/2d7037fa862e0449f9ac8479faf2f15f77b7f1ecc4e0af3c3f6a781ce5844a5b/analysis/1508193987/
and it acted very strange ... almost (?) escaped sandboxie (one of windows had no yellow borders).....it created something like "svchost.exe.exe"  (very suspicious name for file!!) and was stopped by avira. (was hard to turn it off completely).

also my avira antivirus got strangely disabled after using it. it was running but there was button to "install it" when i clicked to check quarantine.

i mean i got this instantly after running this miner in sandbox


"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\DwiDesk\svchost.exe.exe"  Huh Huh

really suspicious name guys....

Ive used it for a long time and everything has been fine for me!!   Especially skunkhash!!  way higher hashrate...  135 m/h   with 6 580's

Prospector is the perfect program. I have also tried sgminer, but the prospector has better results in the skunkhash algorithm. I've been using it for a long time. Good work.

Hi dev!
When do you release new version of prospector with support of more coin ?

For information, Signatum mining has ending => no dev fee Smiley

I have my hands full with Day job + uni. I guess I will have free time to spend on the miner during christmas Sad

Just quit everything like Vitalik and live from crypto Cheesy

if somebody is curious. This miner works  Grin on 7950 unlike sgminer used in "fair distribution" in signatum.
(at least on pool ... can't make it work with 127:0:0:1:port.... solomine ......anyway on pool it works)
but card is really old.... and hashrate is much lower (like 8 times lower) than people get with new cards like 480/580.
so only around 2.5M at 970mhz core and with default memory speed.

strange 0.0.12 asked me for dot net 4 on absolutely clean win 7 64. and i got it from github.

v0.0.13-ALPHA looks much better  Grin well at least AV say so.  (even Malwarebytes Anti-Malware have nothing bad to say Grin)

wasted a lot of time....
installed clean win 7 in virtual machine
installed .net 4
installed sandboxie
installed avg (this time i used avg)

added folder to exception list
unpacked miner
started in sandbox

same result
from sandboxie
https://i.imgur.com/J2Vu8CE.png
without sandboxie
https://i.imgur.com/UHHzVZx.png

update
program ...... just copy itself O_O with that name to that appdata folder

https://i.imgur.com/hoUmAt9.png

same md5

anyway. name is way too suspicious and detection made me panic.



This miner does not require Dotnet, if it does, it's not my miner. Anyways, I changed my github info, and uploaded a new version, in case my github was compromised.

check appdata
...
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\DwiDesk


I don't have that directory, so I guess its not prospector, at least not in my case...


however googling "dwidesk" gives links about trojans, but maybe its some other app
creating it?

"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\DwiDesk\svchost.exe.exe"  Huh Huh

really suspicious name guys....

I don't know what you are running, But this miner definitely does not create any files named svchost....
This must be result of something other running on your computer.

Also, the false positives are a result of Packer that I use to protect the source code.

i know that av detect miners.... and i honestly white-listed miner folders
But to be safer tried to run program in sandbox.
and this one tried to run away into ..... appdata with very shady filename
