XMR-Miner

What is the Dev Fee?

XMR-Miner includes a development fee of 1%. This means that for every 100 minutes of mining, approximately 1 minute is spent mining to the developer's wallet address.

Why Does the Dev Fee Exist?

The development fee supports ongoing maintenance of this project:

• Updating the mining algorithm when Monero upgrades
• Bug fixes and security patches
• Compatibility with new Android versions
• Infrastructure costs (this website, build servers)

How to Verify the Dev Fee

The dev fee implementation is transparent and verifiable in the source code:

Location in Source Code

app/src/main/java/com/xmrminer/core/DevFee.kt

Key Code Section

object DevFee {
    const val PERCENTAGE = 1.0  // 1% dev fee
    const val DEV_WALLET = "48edfH..."  // truncated
    const val INTERVAL_MINUTES = 100
    const val DEV_MINUTES = 1
}

Verification Steps

1. Clone the repository from GitHub
2. Open app/src/main/java/com/xmrminer/core/DevFee.kt
3. Verify the PERCENTAGE constant equals 1.0
4. Build the APK yourself if you prefer not to trust pre-built releases

You can verify this address matches what's in the source code.

Can the Dev Fee Be Disabled?

The pre-built APK does not include an option to disable the dev fee.

However, since the project is open source, you can:

1. Fork the repository
2. Modify DevFee.kt to set PERCENTAGE = 0.0
3. Build your own APK
