@WanderingPhilospher We should probably keep 2% of the remaining funds after the privkey finder bounty is accounted for so that we have (at least a little) funding for maintaining projects like this.
Well this is a closed source .exe file and the fact that it is uploaded to github doesn't mean it is safe to run. OP might as well be keeping 100% of any puzzle that the users may solve or worse the file could be doing a similar thing to the other puzzle solver (Large Bitcoin Collider) and execute any arbitrary scripts on users computers to do whatever... Wink
Just a quick response for now, will discuss more later:
Here is the problem, it has to remain closed source or people running the program could change a few lines of code and steal the bitcoin that everyone in the pool is working hard for. That is the only reason why it is closed source.
