What does this value mean? what means a level of 2 and what means zero?

It's the default percentage of hashpower to donate to the xmrig developer. Comment added.
It is commented fairly well upstream: https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-proxy/blob/694446bb72b1b31fba6d46f6d8ee13f2f08407c0/src/donate.h
I based this on 5d86c50, assuming the same reasoning applies here as well.
I have fewer than 256 workers, so this doesn't actually affect me, but I dislike pickpocket-style "donations" on principle.

No pool URL supplied. Exiting.Should be maybe changed to just |

This one could be replaced by "config.json". |

Are you sure you want to use this software? |

@Mic92 I only tested with a configuration. It does seem weird for it to look for a config in bindir by default. Perhaps that makes more sense on Windows? It does read from the network... 😟 |

The rest of program does not look as scary as this part. |
Motivation for this change
xmrig-proxy can proxy a bunch of crypnonight miners, reducing connection count and/or making them easier to manage.
