I wanted to mine this coin, and I am not saying don't, but I am not. If you are, until the dev comments or cleans up his new sgminer, make sure you are sandboxed or on a rig and network you do not care about and have backups. The virustotal hits have changed since the original miner, but they are still there and now appear more threatening. I am not yelling fire in a crowded theatre, because I have not executed the code to know if there is a problem or not, and I won't, but just be careful out there guys. I've never met a sniffer that was good, just sayin...

Our miner was forked from sgminer. You can track all changes on github. Feel free to compile it from sources yourself if you are worried about viruses.
PS : Official NiceHash sgminer, for instance, shows 37 threats on Virustotal for me.
Barney, first thanks for the PN got answer from me...
Yes this is the thing that most people not understand.
This messages at virus total will get nearly all miners because the algos are also used for things like worms and viruses ...
only false positives ...
