I responded to this add (prior to Bitcoin mining).  He claims it isn't Bitcoin and it only runs on Windows....that's what he claims, at least.

Its not his video card, hes saying if you have a video card he will have you install some software to do some "calculations" for him and he'll pay you for the electricity the card uses
