RE: Investigating the Pomegranate Network Mining Gridcoin

in #gridcoin • 6 years ago (edited)

We have had this before when certain individuals have 'played the system' and used equipment that is not theirs by right and funnelled GRC into their own pockets.

As far as I'm concerned, taking advantage of other peoples 'lack of security' and knowledge is tantamount to larceny.

However it is extremely difficult to 'punish' these indescretions as we have found out in the past.

Previously it took many posts and emails to project admins to 'blacklist' the perpertrator.
It took a while but was successful.

I believe that we have to find another simpler and more direct way to 'stamp out' these 'perps' as quickly as possible.

Any ideas?

    If it's too easy it could be abused.

    If by lack of security you mean the BOINC projects, then we aught to enforce minimum BOINC client versions within BOINC projects & vote projects out if they don't adhere to the minimum version requirement.

    If you mean end user, then nobody is having malware installed here - they consented fully to CE running on their computer AFAIK.
