Where are your date stamped previous versions?
Bro we have 9 versions of claymore eth/neo/zcash miner in folder named "Old Versions" at our mega.nz download link:
https://mega.nz/#F!nrwxDYZK!gxHKJvukNUvEH9xh4V4gGgYou can see that first of them was added at 6/6/2018. Eth miner v15 was reuploaded 2/23/2020 only to update rwteam_readme!!!.txt
Originally it was added 5 months ago 10/04/2019 and you can see it by checking main file's date ( libcurl.dll) at virustotal detection link we've posted earlier.
And about those smart miners, where are they?
Someone who downloads and unknown binary packaged as a miner posted by a newbie user
from mega is not someone I would call smart.
Smart miners are using our release right now , we can see it at our devfee address. They are smart because they pay only 0.5% fee. Why would they pay 1% to already rich claymore who doesn't even update his miner. Also they are smart because they can check hashes of files in archive and see that only file that changed is libcurl.dll. All other files are 100% same as in claymore's archive. If they had some suspicions they've had more than 1.5 years to check it on safe mining rigs and become sure that our release do what we say - it reduce devfee to 0.5% and that's it.
As an additional bonus we "forced" claymore to sign his "stripes" driver because we released 0.5% version of his miner with signed driver so users don't need to enable test sign mode in windows and put their OSes to risk. After that lazy claymore quickly signed driver too and released new version with it. But why he didnt do it at first place? It takes like 5 minutes to get "free" cert and sign that damned driver. Why put his users at risk by forcing them to enable test sign mode in Windows and use his unsigned driver? Because he doesn't give a fuck about users of his miner and he only care about money.
