What makes you think they're a problem for the currency? They're a problem for the person that allows themselves to be exploited, and the law by which that person was supposed to be governed by, but not the Monero currency. Unfairness is part of life.Completely removing the biggest base of the 'botnets', which are going to be guys just renting a bunch of EC2 instances and focusing only on the viral software .. just because someone gets richer than me by stealing doesn't mean I should be blaming myself for making too little, or them for too much. What I should be asking is, if they haven't been caught .. then why am I really not doing it? Why wouldn't they be richer than me? They're cheating, stealing things that nobody has 100% control over. Someone is paying for that, it is still maintained that the same market price is paid by all ..

But people don't want to pay for other scams. That's why it's a problem
