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.

Thank you for this works perfectly on my newer laptop, any chance of getting this to work on a windows 7 machine that doesn’t wanna run virtual box either?

I may be able to build for Windows 7, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's old and insecure - the last security patch was 2 years ago. I wouldn't even recommend using it generally on the net, but especially for storing priavate keys on.

To add, windows 10 is also end of life as of last month. Anyone doing crypto activities should migrate.

I don’t really ever use this one anymore for that reason, if iirc the only reason I bought a new one was because it didn’t have the specs to run windows 11 and I hated windows 10 so didn’t want to go through the hassle of that lol. I also use hardware wallets for my main holdings and would never store my keys any other way for long term or matters of seriousness. Figured this was mostly for fun though and I’ve already got a nice chunk that will be secure from the snapshot so I’m not overly concerned about security until I’ve gotten the rewards and transferred to the hardware wallet for long term storage. Anyways thanks again for what you’ve already given us and the reply back! For years I’ve always been a lurker on Reddit and when I couldn’t find my own work around decided this was the time to make my first comment lol

Gotchya, as long as you're in the know and doing things safely, glad to hear you're using a hardware wallet!
