It has been an interesting week for Gold Harvest Macro solutions. We spent the week updating Simple Miner to prepare for its upcoming beta launch, which should begin within a couple weeks. Simple Trainer, our automated skill training macro, also had its retail launch this weekend. We were greeted with an unexpected obstacle when CCP, the creators of the fantastic MMORPG EVE Online, put out a bulletin incorrectly claiming that our software contained a Trojan Virus and would steal your account information.
This announcement was not a lie on CCP's part, but it was a false positive Trojan warning caused by a file known as "upx.exe" as well as well as by the programming language Autohotkey itself. We renamed the file upx.exe, which is responsible for compressing files, and most of the errors should be gone. A full explanation of the warning can be found on our homepage at www.goldharvestmacrosolutions.com. A host of other websites picked up on the story and James Egen even created an entertaining picture for the story, found at massively.com.
This warning is rare and was not picked up by our development team during Beta; that is a mistake on our part and I apologize. We are working to ensure these errors go away altogether and you can help by reporting any warning you receive to your virus detection company. We will of course continue to update the community with any additional information on these errors.
In better news, Simple Trainer has been receiving great feedback and we have had zero reports of missed skill training or any other major error. We officially launched our first eBay listing for Simple Trainer and the trainer is also available on many download sites such as eurodownloads.com. This smooth launch will allow us to focus most of our development on adding additional features and options for Simple Trainer and preparing Simple Miner for Beta launch. Did I say Simple Miner Beta Launch??!!
Simple Miner Beta and Update:
Simple Miner has been receiving large updates internally and we are about ready to start the Beta! We are very excited about this and we hope you will all be very impressed. We will announce the Beta officially on the homepage which will include a link to the beta submission form. We expect the Beta to begin in a few weeks and last until our retail launch soon.
The miner was recently updated to include detailed statistics on your mining runs including: Average profit per hour, profit per day, total working time, amount of rounds, average round duration, best round duration, npc attacks, npc's killed, as well as your overal profit. These statistics can be uploaded to our servers where we will keep an updated record on how well the miner is running. The GUI for these statistics is shown below:
The entire miner code is being extensively tested and we feel almost ready to show it off. The feature list for Simple Miner's version 1.0 release is almost complete and we are currently working on improved drone control as well as overall stability of the code. Once we release the Beta we will prepare for version 2.0, which we hope will include cargo delivery to other systems, multiple client use, Jet can mining, and more! We received great feedback from the polls of the front page so we will be switching these polls to gather even more information.That is about all for the development update today. Stay tuned to this blog for more updates on our products and be prepared for the Simple Miner Beta coming soon!
