A ton of people got these. I banned the sender after getting mewantsbitcoins's report. I didn't clear the PMs (since doing this is complicated), but I marked his account to warn people.

I reported it to GitHub as a GPL violation. Lets see what happens.

Anyone else got this shit?

No, but I looked inside the binaries provided and two things are obvious:


(1) The code has been through a java obfuscator (ProGuard), so it's hard to tell what it's doing.

(2) The CL code, however, is unchanged from the normal diablominer.

_Hopefully_ this just connects you to some other pool.   But I am not even that optimistic.

If you have run this on a computer with a wallet.dat I think you should treat that wallet as compromised.

Got it, posted on irc, got directed here.

The forum message volume is starting to make it hard to keep up and know these threads exist. Oh, and I was called Pat, not Jason Wink

This might even be a license violation, depending on the diablo miner license. I can't find the source for this "optimized" diablo.

Of course, as this guy is a scammer, he probably doesn't care about licenses. Maybe the diablo dev should report him to github?

It looks that it's only two of us. Interesting..

Very strange. Did you happen to report the messages? I think one of us should, but I don't want to add clutter to the admins work load.

Hi Jason,

Long time I have not seen you on IRC? What's up?
I do not know if you still use DiabloMiner on your GPU cluster?

I have bought the same config you have and I have tested DiabloMiner
on it. I can produce 3Gh/s. That's quite good.

Yesterday I have talked with Alex, he has developped an optimizated version of DiabloMiner.
He has committed the soft on github: https://github.com/speedygonzalez/OptDiabloMinerII

I have tested it, it's quite good, I can produce 1Gh/s more. You may try it...

I hope to see you soon on IRC!!!

Uwe


Oops,
My last mail was not for you, do no consider it.
Sorry,
