Alarm! Is AMD using our computers as bitcoin miners all over the world secretly ?

[Gargantua]

Hi

i have facing a problem for last few weeks and i was not able to find what is actually wrong .

 

Problme: whenever i leave my rig idle for more then 5 mints GPU started using its 90%-99% power and reached 63C tops every time.

 

i was finding the programe causing this problem and finally i got it ...(if you are having the same problem read carefully)

 

Its the programe/process named " mdm * 32" in your task manager. end it and your GPU will stop working like a made dog .

 

when consulte google about the programe i found this

 

http://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/comments/330e12/mdm_32bit_what_is_it_and_why/

 

Plz read blog on link.

 

if we consider the information on this blog correct then Amd is deceiving every single customer who is using new AMD driver package for his/her GPU. coz as i think its works like a cluster the biggest secretly made cluster of the history for bitcoin mineing ...most of the people using new amd gpus are using atleast 3r/4th gen i5/i7 or Amd Fx 8xxx CPUs so you can imagine how fast and big cluster they can make virtually on the planet .(if you don't know how computer networks work then don't bullshit here) it is possible .

 

if you search there is no other folder containing MDM files but the Amd folders and why the F*** its cacheing all the information where is it going ? to TITAN for farther processing i guess .

I don't even know how this relates to BitCoin Mining.....

I'm more confused after reading the article than I was when I saw the title.

Stop torrenting games.

i doubt it, i dont think amd is dumb enough to do this.

I'll have to see if it's there when i get home. I doubt that AMD or any other company of this caliber would do this.

I don't know a lot about bitcoin mining, but isn't it the GPU that does the mining? Not the CPU?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64its just the name of the instruction set it might not be from amd

 

 

x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64 and AMD64) is the 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set.

Pretty sure that's illegal and AMD would be #Shrekt after pulling this stunt.

[Tedster]

AMD wouldn't be doing this...

AMD64 is another way of saying x86-64.

Jesus i never thought we would hit this level of intelligence and grammar .

AMD invented the 64-bit instruction set extension used in all modern computers, "AMD64" is the name of that set, it doesn't mean these files are associated with AMD in any way.

Just stop illegally torrenting your games and you won't get shit on by viruses and btc miners. Problem solved.
