since you tested this nodevfee program it's safe to use, I guess?
I'm always a bit scared about included keylogger and such things, claymore's miner also is closed source (and I always thought stuff on github is open source haha XD)

the readme is a bit puzzling. in the video they suggest to add the port in the batch file (along with the wallet address)
the moment I started nodevfee with the port added to the command line it tried to add the bat file to the autostart folder ... this didn't happen when I 1st started it without the port Shocked


Don't worry, if the software has that kind of behaviors, it is detectable. Closed source program doesn't mean it can do whatever it wants. It communicates with your OS's environment and also with the internet. That means you can't know actually how it is implemented but you can detect what it does, how it interacts with the other elements.
