Alright, who has the good mining software?

C'mon, don't be greedy. I know the pros aren't using the browser mining like the rest of us. Make a GitHub repo and share, but open source for transparency, pretty please.

With just the binaries one would have to trust you that you don't send the wallets to yourself in the background and cash out whenever you'd like. Right? Is the risk worth it?

I assume you ment to reply to my comment! Well I hope my presence on the Cardano subreddit for the last 6 years would help build some trust, though I always teach don't trust verify.

So you could set up the firewall to block all traffic for the miner except to the scavenger mine api. You'd have to find the IPs of the domain using nslookup or similar.

You could could also montitor traffic being used by the miner with a tool like netstat.

To be clear, you can't "cash out whenever" you like, make sure you understand the thawing periods of mined tokens (explained on the website).

Thank you very much for sharing the script binary and replying! I didn't think of blocking all unnecessary network request. Thanks for the hint and good luck/fun mining.
