"cryptonote-easy-miner_v0.0.3.zip is malicious, and Chrome has blocked it."

why does it say that?

zone117x commented 8 years ago

Chrome does that all the time. Google it and you'll find tons of false positives for all sorts of projets. The C# code for this project is a simple wrapper around the native binaries. Check the C# source, even decompile the release build, and you won't find anything malicious. However, the native binaries for cpuminer and simplewallet that it ships with I cannot guarantee as I have not audited their source and I used their official compiled binaries. I'd recommend sending the release file to VirusTotal to verify if there is actually something going on. Let me know if anything comes up.

Thank you for quick reply.

I checked it with Kaspersky - looks clean - I trust it.

Another question about the wallet: So I installed it, and it is running (I put in mine.moneropool.com, port 3333) - so it has the payment address on top. I tried to open simplewallet that was included with the "wallet" file and password "x". The wallet tells me that it failed to connect to daemon at localhost:18081

What do I need to do?

Thank you.

This is using quite old versions of the wallet and cpuminer binary. Simplewallet is probably too old and unsupported with the daemon, and the cpuminer is probably really inefficient compared to letest. I would recommend following tutorials to use the latest ones via command line - or there may be more up-to-date GUIs for these programs.

I think you forgot to attach the link to the tutorials.
