It's a bit concerning that this post is coming from a fresh account with no history or reputation on the forum. Why should anyone trust a pool run by completely unknown operators with no track record to speak of? Joining a pool like this, without knowing who's behind it or seeing any proof of past success, is risky at best and could very well be a scam.
After checking the linked GitHub repository, things look even more suspicious. The so-called "
updates" in their fork are not significant improvements to the code. In fact, it
just adds an option to connect to a specific IP address (129.159.146.90) instead running it locally on the own GPU. If you even watched carefully the updates are from the last minutes/hours, so it looks the Github repository is as fresh as the user account "bitcurve".
For anyone considering joining, I'd strongly urge you to think twice. If something goes wrong, the regret and potential loss could be much worse than you expect. Please be cautious when dealing with new and unverified projects like this. Stay safe and always verify the legitimacy of projects before committing any resources.
Even the age and reputation of the account mean nothing. The account can be stolen, which we often see in the announcements of new projects.
And this does not depend on the platform.
I have had three accounts stolen here alone, although this did not happen on GitHub, but there I immediately connected 2FA.
