When I scan it on VirusTotal, all of the reports are about it being a coin miner. We know this is a coin miner, that's the whole point of it. It's pretty common for virus scanners to report cryptominers as trojans/PUP/etc because many trojans do indeed run coin miners... unfortunately this means that those virus scanners also identify legitimate coin miners as well.

With this in mind, may I recommend adjusting the way you approach projects. Your phrasing in your issue is pretty rough and throws a lot of criticism when this is a pretty well understood phenomenon. You will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. A simple ask about what is going on would have been much better than "WTF are u guys doing?".

I'm not affiliated with nanominer or nanopool at all btw, I have just been in the cryptocurrency world for a very long time and have seen reports of "this is a virus OMG WTF BBQ" come up frequently. I'm not saying that you should just outright ignore the results from virus scanners, but I am saying that with some types of software, especially the type of software that is somewhat commonly associated with more nefarious things, you need to take the results in context.

You have to put the miner and its associated files in the exception list of the Virus Scanner. I hope this will eliminate the issue that you are facing. It worked for me though.
