Great idea! But 390% CPU usage on my Mac with lowest Usage Level setting!😂
Alex Sismanis
@maxhis it's based on the amount of CPU threads you have, so the lowest setting should be running about 25% of your threads. So if you have a quad core processor it will be running 4 threads which equates to around the amount you see. I will definitely add a lower setting for higher processing power computers so you can lower it more!

Interesting idea, but there is no way for certain funds are actually being sent to WHO and not to the bitPocket of the developer(s). In these trouble times when everyone is trying to bank off the misfortunes of others, you have to be careful of who to trust.

@simplemindedme We fully appreciate the need for transparency, and have taken steps to ensure that our contributors are updated on the amounts generated and donated, including sharing transaction IDs and proof of donation, which will be uploaded regularly to our website. Additionally, we have been completely open about who is behind MineAMask, including the full names of all makers. Whilst there may be a small minority of people "trying to bank off the misfortunes of others" during this challenging time, we believe that they pale in comparison to the vast numbers of people who are genuinely trying to help and have a positive impact.

Sounds great. Could it be white lebelled to work for local charities?
