Anyhow, you can mine altcoins and convert it to BTC easily. The software varies, I think your best bet, if you don't want to code yourself, is buy a setup on the deepweb from the most trusted vendor you can and hope it's not malware that's going to steal your victims. Or look around for an opensourced RAT, btw, either way, just make sure to bind the virus to things that people will have a reason to disable their AV. Cracked video games are one of the best ways imo. The reason why the keyboard clipper works so well is that
1) it's non-intrusive and hard to be detected (if coded properly)
2) it's very easy to code
3) huge potential for profits by taking some poor chump's stack
Though, yeah, I guess if you meant "too harsh" as in "wow, I really don't want to steal this kid's life savings" then yeah, suppose it is harsh.
