I don't really want to get involved in any conflict here, but I had to register just to say I agree with this.

The part of the exe that contains the two instances of the 0x783231dEBa1FaFd90b4F146fDB21a374C29737fF address just looks like some help/info text output for the cmd window. If people feel like changing this for the sake of "better safe than sorry", that's fine. Just don't go making accusations without more evidence than some apparently benign text in an exe file.


EDIT: After running this program for about an hour now my average hashrate is up quite a bit on ethermine (it fluctuates a lot normally anyway). When I first ran the patch it dropped from 14.4 down to 11.1 and I was a little concerned, but it quickly went back up and it's now at 32.2. It also now says I have two workers even though I'm only running a single GPU. Everything seems to be working as it should, but I'll keep an eye on things and report back after it's had more time to run.
