is it even safe to use this miner ? Cry
it was suggested on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2105778.2360
but when i tried. v0.0.12-ALPHA

https://www.virustotal.com/ru/file/2d7037fa862e0449f9ac8479faf2f15f77b7f1ecc4e0af3c3f6a781ce5844a5b/analysis/1508193987/
and it acted very strange ... almost (?) escaped sandboxie (one of windows had no yellow borders).....it created something like "svchost.exe.exe"  (very suspicious name for file!!) and was stopped by avira. (was hard to turn it off completely).

also my avira antivirus got strangely disabled after using it. it was running but there was button to "install it" when i clicked to check quarantine.

i mean i got this instantly after running this miner in sandbox


"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\DwiDesk\svchost.exe.exe"  Huh Huh

really suspicious name guys....

I don't know what you are running, But this miner definitely does not create any files named svchost....
This must be result of something other running on your computer.

Also, the false positives are a result of Packer that I use to protect the source code.
