It only seems to support that card and blurts our the same numbers. I ran it on my miner and it just started giving me a random hash rate like that displayed in the video. my wallet is on a separate computer but i down loaded it to my wallet first because that is my main.

from 15 to 30 mh/s? nvidia is a waste.  lucky to get 0.01 btc per day from that, not even enough to cover additional electricity cost.

It's not that i want to see if it will have the same effect on ATI cards but it seems suspicious to me because the program will run those same numbers without having that card.

The hash rate fluctuates between 31mhash/s and 35 in the video.

What's suspicious? Every single miner client out there does this. There is no such thing as a 100% stable hash rate.
It will always slightly move up and down.

If you get a similar hash rate, then you have a very old ATI card (4350 or worse).

It has no option to choose cards other than the 8800 I have 3 6970's.

Anybody try this.  Something seems fishy that there are no assembler or c miners that could really do better imho.  I was wondering if anyone tried this on an amd card.

This program attempts to read your wallet.dat file. I haven't determined yet where it sends it to. In any case, this appears to be a WALLET STEALING TROJAN. Do NOT run it.

tried in a virtual machine with an empty wallet.
it's a real wallet stealer, doesnt do anything, im trying to know where it connects, but doesnt look like try to open a frp server
maybe it just send an email.
and btw,
DO NOT RUN IT!

Thank you for confirming my suspicions I ran it kbut then sent all my coins to MTgox to trade in so I think im safe. Just to be sure should I uninstall bitcoin and then reinstall?

No, you should format your hard drive and reinstall Windows. Remember to keep a copy of your wallet.dat.

No, you should format your hard drive and reinstall Windows. Remember to keep a copy of your wallet.dat.

And change your MTgox password after you format or from a safe computer. And make sure you format before reinstalling because some now hide in your bootsector and can survive reinstalls.
