chipito Posted March 8, 2019 #1 Posted March 8, 2019 Hi Stakers.... Maybe you think Chipito is going crazy.. But i have the feeling that stake V2 have a backdoor miner in the site. Because always when i play in stakeV2 my pc is going crazy with the cooler and fckng slow, like he is mine coins and use my hashpower in a secret way! When i close V2 and go back to stake 1 my pc is back to normal... I know you can put some secret monero miners in every website, so every visiter will mine some little stuff! in the time that the visiter is on the site. Can some1 explain this to me? greetz chipito
polor12 Posted March 19, 2019 #2 Posted March 19, 2019 i actually have the outcome during the beta testing.. a lot of players that use pc i seen in chat complain the same.. now v2 is live.. we'll find out if it still does..
Kate Posted March 19, 2019 #3 Posted March 19, 2019 Well if you are saying that they are mining from us , for me nope i don't believe so that an organisation like Stake would ever try to destroy their reputation by putting a miner script in their website.
jualid Posted March 19, 2019 #4 Posted March 19, 2019 Uh my pc is fine here, the fan is stable and not eat too much ram. I guess it's from other apps on your pc.
williamshennie9 Posted March 19, 2019 #5 Posted March 19, 2019 Hmm, my Chrome browser does seem to be using more CPU than before. @Edward any comment on this? I can't say there is no mining script running anywhere on the site, but I can say that my CPU usage is up, and it makes me worry...
Kate Posted March 19, 2019 #6 Posted March 19, 2019 If you want you can try formatting your pc. It might be because one of the apps is being run in the background but won't show up the real ram or memory it is using.
Satoshi Posted March 19, 2019 #7 Posted March 19, 2019 You aren't crazy. But it's hard to put into practice because of any people have different PC capacity. And Stake's owners should be create a pool separately and many problems which associated with it needed to be solving.
Joshreyes Posted March 19, 2019 #8 Posted March 19, 2019 My pc is fine, Stake gained a lot of profit they dont need to do that
lupandina Posted March 19, 2019 #9 Posted March 19, 2019 Well, mining blocker in my browser didn't catched anything 😂 And CPU sems ok, so I think it's not the deal
ceastem Posted March 19, 2019 #10 Posted March 19, 2019 I really think they would not do this. Imagine that 25000btc was wagered during the beta phase of stake, i can't even imagine how much btc they obtain through daily basis. Mining offers like i don't know, 1k sats per day per user assuming the user is online? this is shitty compared to what they earn and what they will lose if they get exposed. I believe there was a topic just like this one before, i just can't recall where i have seen it. it involves someone making percentages of what he thinks is slowing down his betting (which includes background mining).
hustler1984 Posted March 19, 2019 #11 Posted March 19, 2019 this is the funniest idea i've ever heard... don't you know how much stake makes?.... they would have zero interest in doing this... they would at best earn maybe 1 / 100,000th the amount they generate from earnings.
KiXxnTRiXx Posted March 19, 2019 #12 Posted March 19, 2019 I have been noticing sudden increase in lag.. like literally watching what i type lag behind.. game also slows down.. like plinko autoplay would stop dropping balls/pucks then resumes like normal.. but ive experienced thisalso in v1.. so *shrugs*
yololife222 Posted March 19, 2019 #13 Posted March 19, 2019 Omd this might be the thing why there was v2 idkn hopefully not cuse then many people would probably leav site...
polor12 Posted March 21, 2019 #14 Posted March 21, 2019 I have a new laptop the lag i gotten doesnt seem normal..i have micro surface pro..
Etude Posted March 21, 2019 #15 Posted March 21, 2019 I doubt this is true at all as this is something illegal to be done to customers.
skywallkee Posted March 21, 2019 #16 Posted March 21, 2019 No, stake is not mining anything in the background. Yes, some people are encountering performance issues, it has been reported and stake knows about it. It has nothing to do with a miner, only with some optimisations that developers should make in order to be better for everyone. IF you think that stake is mining, then you should really check the followings: The change in CPU/GPU usage with stake closed/opened. As you can see, the change is not remarkable, it's actually pretty normal and nothing happens, if there would be a miner inside, my CPU or GPU should go at least over 50%, which didn't happen. If stake let's say made a setting for it not to influence that much the hardware, then surely they wouldn't get not even 1 BTC in 10 years. Okay, here is one way to check it, but let's say that maaaybe, we still don't know. Then try out this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/minerblock-origin/ (for FireFox) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/minerblock/emikbbbebcdfohonlaifafnoanocnebl?hl=en (for Chrome). After you've installed this, the app will block any website that is mining in the background using your PC. Want to check how a website looks when it is mining and when it is not? Sure: As you can see in the first screenshot, that website mines in the background and it also displays the pool, but stake has no records in mining. Still not convinced?... Okay, one more thing that might help you find out whether a website is or not mining. Checking the source code. If you find a mining pool in the source code then that website might be mining, if not, then it definitely isn't mining anything. Here's an example of a mining script: Even if they'd try hiding it in other files or with other names, somewhere still has to be the address of the pool you're mining from and I ensure you that stake has none, look for it as much as you want. I don't know if I was a little too harsh in this post, but I really got triggered when I saw an affirmation like this one, even if it was only a question with no intention to harm. You made some people think that stake is actually mining and that's not right at all, I hope that people will scroll to my post and see that they're safe. These accusations aren't okay at all and should be researched first before making them.
ekzxc Posted March 21, 2019 #17 Posted March 21, 2019 This is bullshit. As if stake will do such thing, put a mining script in the site for what? For a couple of cryptos? Really? Stake will destroy it's reputation for a couple of crypto? And if Stake is doing such thing, why do a lot of giveaway if the small cryptos counts
peel1 Posted March 21, 2019 #18 Posted March 21, 2019 Its just the fact that it uses up more GPU as the sites more pretty now so your PC has to try harder to load it

Hahaha still interesting to read about it though, makes me not feel like the only one at times with some theory that assumes casino is ‘rigging’! 🤣
ivaylo2000 Posted March 21, 2019 #20 Posted March 21, 2019 There was no miner. Most of players play on phones or pc with minning power less than my old calc.

polor12 Posted March 23, 2019 #24 Posted March 23, 2019 Is probably correct different pc and mobile will experience different issues.. all players are responding to this topic but would like to hear from the higher ups if this topic worth responding to..
Bigmann23 Posted March 23, 2019 #25 Posted March 23, 2019 They used us for minning once why not do it again
