SMART MINERS CONNECTOR 1.0.11-rc.1
=====================================

NO AI OR THIRD-PARTY REVIEW IS REQUIRED TO INSTALL.

QUICK INSTALL
-------------
1. Extract this ZIP completely.
2. Double-click INSTALL.cmd.
3. Review the one-time Windows administrator prompt and select Yes.
4. Open the connector from the Start menu.

OPTIONAL INDEPENDENT INSPECTION
-------------------------------
The ZIP includes source code, hashes, test evidence and an SBOM. You decide
whether to inspect these files yourself or use an AI, scanner or reviewer of
your choice. Smart Miners does not require or select that service for you.

IMPORTANT FOR THIS TEST RELEASE
-------------------------------
This release candidate uses a temporary test certificate. Windows does not trust
that certificate automatically. INSTALL.cmd first verifies the exact SHA-256
hashes, certificate thumbprint and MSIX signature. Only then does Windows ask
for approval to place the public certificate in Local Computer > Trusted People.
The final professionally signed production release will not require this step.

Only a valid, cryptographically signed SMC1 code for this exact app and
installation challenge is accepted locally as verified. The app remains usable
without a code and clearly shows that external verification has not been
completed.

Current honest status: the independent audit is not complete. This test release
must therefore not receive a production verification code.
