I was contacted by the Cryptohill agency, they market cryptocurrencies in regards to creating a sponsored video about Crypton CRP, a mineable privacy coin created by the Utopia team.
Here’s the exact file we downloaded, if you want to use the same version and ensure its the one we checked. Once you run it you’ll go through a setup wizard, pick an account name and password, then it will generate a private key for you.
I navigated to the mining section of their app, which I am assuming is some CPU based algorithm based of the FAQ description and the way this program is designed – with its general and vague usage/setup – how could it be anything other than CPU mining?
For anyone looking for further support regarding their project or have direct questions, they have an interesting support system here that even includes a high score section lol.
Interesting… I might hold off in the wake of the current hit and dip era we have with defi going nuts but this is definitely interesting. Keep us updated @vosk
My main concern is requiring a public IP for “mining” this is really just like running a node, this isn’t suitable for running off your personal computers — a VPS, sure, but not your personal windows gaming rig for example…
You just need to enable UPnP on your router so that it can open whichever ports it wants. My router uses NAT-PMP and this app doesn’t seem to want you to manually open ports so I couldn’t get it working properly.
I got a miner bot running on a linux box, looks pretty cool, just cant use because of the port forwarding issue.
I followed a link a couple days ago to the article describing Crypton. It linked me to the Github page where I was looking for a miner and wallet. No such luck and I was discouraged from following Crypton any further until you posted this article. I 'm glad you found a miner and as far a wallet, well if CPU mining or renting time on a mining farm, or using nicehash to mine… It’s just not the same as good ol mining with software miner and many wallets and exchanges supporting the coin.
Thanks anyway and I’ll keep my eyes open in the future but for now … getting the hashrate and power off the new nVidia GPU’s is more interesting.
What crap is that???
I guess they truly do want you to install this on your laptop and just fully expose your home network.
For those who implement any amount of security get stuck paying VPS fees?
How much did you play with port forwarding and segmenting?
