However, FTP specifically lists Idleminer products as banned and against T&C. So even though I own FTP idleminer (full license) I just don't use it there. I assume there are a great many others like me. I mean people with INTEGRITY. When I signed up and deposited on FTP I agreed to their T&C and being a man of my word I play by them.
Now there are scumbags who continue to use the banned software, while honest players like me make the active decision to not use the software even though they have it available at any time. People who elect to employ banned software on a poker site are really a disease. If honest players want to level the playing field they must also cheat and risk getting banned and losing their funds. Honestly I never will though.
I have no problem with data mining when everybody at a given site has the same opportunity to use and exploit this service. But when a site bans it, there is clear and obvious division; those who are honest players and those who cheat.
If you play poker for sport/fun and you cheat, then you have self-esteem issues and probably fail at life overall in so many ways it's past the scope of this post. If you play poker for income and cheat, then you're just a criminal by all definitions. Lucky for you these sites are not regulated by your country, but you still have to look people in the eye everyday and feel like a man.
