I think you overreacted, miners are often flagged, none of the big guys flagged it. (yet)

I was going to post a warning anyway, many red flags: newbie account, closed source,
hyped claims.

I suggest users wait until someone reliable does a sandbox test.

Even if it's above board the performance claims are well within the margin of error
and well within the range of existing miners' differences. Is it faster than the fastest?
or faster than the slowest but still slower than the fastest? What was it compared against
and how was it tested.

If it's 2% faster than the fastest it's a significant accomplishment but ity would take a lot
of proof to convince me.

My guess is it's a newbie (to GPU development) who poked around, tried a few things and
perceived something that wasn't really there. But I don't think it's a scam or malware.

But I could be wrong.

Most of the latest of these I've seen are nothing more than "mining emulators" that pretend to mine and print things to the screen, doing nothing more... behind the scenes they look for wallets and such. sad, really.

... I haven't RE'd this one yet to know tho.

You're right, and they all flag it as a trojan not a crypto miner. I hope you reported him to github too.
