Obviously you are able to choose a folder path.
Arguing about not creating a folder ? Seriously ?
I'm not writing this OS , I'm using it
The whole point of the few instructions I wrote is to not overwriting the original distribution file and to not overwrite the compiled version when updating
this will be the end for me about this, you don't like it don't use it. if you are a moderator remove it if you want, or ask someone to do it

So that's fine, you refuse to understand.
It's not about me but about the ones, all the others, who come to read here and those, the coders, who mainly write the lines of code.
Apparently, it is difficult for you to understand that if you propose something to the community it is because you want it to be taken into account or that you think it has to gain by following your contributions. which I do not dispute in any way contrary to what you seem to think.
BUT,
Since the first automated update script, your update may skip and / or make the code unreadable ... and therefore difficult to debug
Others have proposed code to add cryptocurrencies to be mined in nvOC, like Rumo, they simply took the model of what already existed without adding complication as you propose.
It's not about what I like or I hate, it's about not disperse any people who do not have the same facilities as you handle files and bash code on Linux systems. You seem to forget a bit quickly that a lot of readers here come from Windows and are not necessarily very comfortable on Linux, even on ubuntu.
By the way, you do not answer the fact that the compilation you propose is a windows compilation and that nvOC is a UNIX / LUNIX system!
as good as it works but without having checked your proposed link on my own machine, I think that without wine, it does not work. Otherwise, Why did you call it ccminer-windows when you know that ubuntu is Linux and KLaust also knows it?
I am not a moderator, and I dare to hope that you are mature and thoughtful and that instead of opposing you as a stubborn person, you will come to understand that it is only simplification in the short, medium and long term .
If you do not want to overwrite old files, simply rename and move the old folder before placing your own. According to your proposals, you know how to do with "mv".
In conclusion: SIMPLIFICATION for AUTOMATION
