Just curious, what's the reason for ssl in stratum?
Or am I way behind on something.

you can't modify ssl network packets thus can't disable devfee

not entirely true hahaha ... ssl implemented to protect devfee is 1 of the main reason !

That is the ONLY reason as SSL adds nothing to mining.
Actually it is worse as it adds lag to connection

Actually MITM attack is possible not only to dev fee. Any connections can be modified by hacker if it's not secured.

I encourage all of you to mine with SSL/TLS connection.

MITM attack for miner's traffic? LOL, there are lot more interesting traffic for such capture if you have the skills and desire to do it Wink

The only complains of recent "hacker" attacks were due to total lack or security in Claymore's Remote manager. The bright people who exposed their rigs for external access deserve to be ashamed. RTFM, it was written there. The only purpose of the SSL is to protect dev fee, it gives nothing to us miners.

Just to be clear - i never cheated Claymore's dev fee no matter how easy it was. He deserves to be paid for releasing excellent and feature rich software.
