Our bad, we were probably too complacent, but we are commenting now:
no malware was ever posted from our account. The recent s**tstorm was caused by NiceHash when they saw an opportunity to smear us, and steer their users to their in-house miner instead. Here is our quite long overview about this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56526051#msg56526051 MEGA deleted our account but as far as we know they never tried to replace the actual legitimate files with something malicious (even NiceHash admitted so, when pressed if they were distributing a fake version of PhoenixMiner). Just to be on the safe side, we removed all (now dead) links to MEGA from our messages.
There is constant stream of newbie accounts posting fake "new versions" and "hotfixes" of PhoenixMiner in our thread but certainly you can't hold us responsible for everything that is posted there?
And now there is another one but this time from seemingly reputable user. We don't know if the account is hacked, or the user is really pushing this fake, and most probably malicious release of PhoenixMiner
User : JorisK Post : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56529405#msg56529405Just finished reading 20+ pages in your thread regarding this issue. I use your miner on my rigs and buy did it get me scared at one point... Was very close to reinstalling the system etc when I saw your post. Please don't disappear again for so long, especially when any sort of FUD starts.
