Hello,

I heard a few stories about some of the open-source miners main devs just straight up getting banned from here from posting their miner, talking here about a dev that improved GhostRider for cpuminer  (cpuminer-gr) and posted it here and is used mostly by GR algo coins, but others that just post modified versions without or changes fees to their own (just search for cpuminer-gr forks here), or just use the GPL miners in the closed-source (rplant or example) are allowed and kept here.

My question is if I want to announce/release my miner how should I announce it so mods do not ban me for nothing?

Due to info about open-source miner devs getting banned and closed-source being kept here, I lean heavily towards pushing it as closed source

I want to post here but if legit devs are being banned without any explanation or info about it, it is kinda discouraging xD

I don't know any dev that improved the Ghostrider algorithm because I am mining Raptoreum and the only dev that I know is the real one,who is also providing the binaries through the official Github through the Raptoreum official website.

Any smart dev that provides an "improved" version of this algorithm is most probably providing people malware and once it is known that it is malware getting him banned is the best thing to do in the forum so we can save some unsuspecting newbies by downloading this infected software.
