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.

Most miners give lots of hits on virustotal...sadly, we can' be 100% sure...because
most crypto software developers pack their code same way as virus writers do,
and AV software acts like "better safe than sorry" which leads to lots of
false positives

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

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

really suspicious name guys....

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

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

So I want to try this miner. First Google Chrome won't download it, because of potential danger. I ignored that. Then my Windows Defender goes crazy about this file. Ok, it could be a false positive, so I put it in my exclusion list. I start the executable and it creates a config.toml file, which I adjust with my settings. But after this first start the executable just won't run anymore?! Even after a reboot the executable won't start.

I can't be the only one experiencing this problem? Why can't I find anything about this in this thread?

Start the executable through command line and report the error text here, I started to rework error reporting, so the miner will wait for user input on errors, but I must have missed something.

I would really help you with some error text, but as I told earlier, nothing happens after launching it the first time...

Please add thread count config for the CPU miner.

Running with 8 threads on i7 simply chokes the CPU and limits performance

It's working with RX Vega 64.
AT 43.62MH/S in average.

Sigt ? Thats really cool

Yes Sigt sorry.
Very stable.

Don't know if i can do better, with MSI Afterburner.
But RX 64 is quiet than ly old 7970 Cheesy

I say that because i've tracked leaks with similar footprint in ethminer.

Did you started from scratch in Rust or there was a code base alldeay ?

My bet is that you forked ethminer which contains loads of leaks... bad boys !

Nope.

Ethminer is written in C++, Prospector is written in Rust.
Memory leak on prospector only happens on specific AMD drivers and to very small amount of people. This leak is not a standard memory leak. This is some fatal flaw in the driver, or OpenCL libraary that I'm using.

On all my rigs with 460/470/480 there is a memory leak
from version 0.0.7 to the current
win 8.1 and win 10
https://image.ibb.co/fyxQzF/2017_09_07_131233.png

I believe this is related to drivers. Can you do a memory dump, and upload it somewhere ? ( TaskManager , right click on prospector -> create dump file).

That could help.

For me, the prospector number 1 is for mining coins with algo skunkhash. I used sgminer but since I tried a prospector I use only the one. It's 20 to 30 percent more powerful.
That's why I'm glad that newer releases are always coming up with new enhancements. Good work developer. I'm using 4x amd rx480 for sigt. Later I try other algo options and I´ll post the results.
Here's my screen from mining:

win 8.1 - 16.11.5 : https://mega.nz/#!MN5HBKoI!2R9mnRC2z3YGdDwf-wQML3ONfnrkGDwNpu8yqCSovqU

also on win 10 - win10-64bit-crimson-relive-beta-blockchain-workloads-aug11

I also use win 10 + blockchain driver, but no memory leak (mining signatum)
