I’m concerned: Does the Buff application secretly mine cryptocurrency during gaming sessions? Despite earning buff points for rewards, a 2018 white paper suggests hidden crypto mining may be occurring.
After monitoring and researching Buff’s activities for a while, I have not found concrete evidence that it diverts processing power to mine cryptocurrencies secretly. The application appears to be optimized for rewarding activities without overloading system resources in a manner consistent with crypto mining. In my experience, there have been no noticeable performance issues that would indicate mining is occurring in the background. Nevertheless, it is always wise to review official announcements and independent reviews periodically to stay informed about any operational changes.
