It's even worse apparently. Apparently someone looked at where the coins are going, and the coins are going to the 1337x admins, and the uploader is just getting a cut of those coins. Which explains why the admins are unlikely to really care because they're profiting off their users.
I have severe trust issues with any kind of pirated software so I basically never download it as a result, and shit like this is why. Even private trackers and "trusted" groups aren't enough for me to download most software.
Do you have any evidence of that?
can we get some proof? this is really interesting. I'd like to see how they're tracking stuff
How did they figure that out?
Crytpo isn't inherently anonymous. you can easily follow coins.
You can follow the wallet address , but unles you know who the address belongs to, you can't follow it. So we ask again, where the proof that the coins went to site admins?
