lorki973417yYou are right. And it isn't even one of these google translate Chinese->English translations.

dreik14167yThat is incredibly clear instructions to see on a software like that, considering how crappy the guides on most professional software are.
Maybe someone should hire this guy, you know. π -
A-C-E57027yPeople who made that were idiots and could have done a lot more damage:
-they only made about $55,000 USD (only ~400 people paid by my calculations)
-they hardcoded bitcoin addresses, this making the money trackable
-the payment handling was shit. People who paid didn't always get their pc unlocked
-they had a hard-coded kill switch that two people (in separate instances) found and stopped it spreading by registering a ~$10 domain -
cr782817yYeah but the difference is that at the point of time where you need troubleshooting instructiond you already paid for the product. Here you haven't paid (yet), so they make it as easy and understandable so they get their money.
