Bot net joins pool.
Bot net joins pool.
We aren't talking about creating a new network of zombie machines here, we are talking about people who can rent an existing botnet/use one they operate themselves.
Depending on the individual download speed of each machine, we're looking at a matter of minutes before that machine is mining away.
So how are they going to get the bots mining? Where will they get the code to mine from? You are assuming the devs release the code immediately on git. If they don't do you honestly think they can reverse engineer the code from an exe that quick?
