Why not make it open source because you said already that the base is anyway from xmr-stack. Would also avoid bad voices because of viruses. Just my two cents

I will think about that, maybe i do it...

You should do it because once you release the source to the public other programmers can verify it and remove our doubts because anything run with the Run as Administrator command has full power over the system.To clear everyone doubts you should release the code to the public.Until you do that no one will take you seriously and no one will risk a download except people who use virtual environments for testing.

This was my initial concern, on top of a few other things that don't quite add up....

such as the 10% devfee, but he's using the downloaded binary from github and simply renaming it.....   

sooooo....
are you actually doing 10% devfee total?
or...
10% you have it swapped to your pool,  and the 2% devfee on xmr-stak happens somewhere in the middle since you did not compile it yourself with a 0% actual devfee?? (odds are this was not taken into account so ill mention it)

FYI: A script such as powershell or a batch file can do just the same, and what is happening can be seen by the user.  With [I think] 3 lines of .vbs code you can put any application started in the background if you run it with admin priv.... no need for a sketchy unknown application....  I even posted the source on this very forum for such a thing.

Just saying all of this because this method of release and app control is extremely sketchy in many respects.  No offense meant, just being straight.
