 Hi I came across this site while browsing www.specialminer.com. Do anyone think this is a real site to mine. You can get free trial but I never tried that.

I've never heard of the site but if they're offering a free trial what's stopping you from trying it for yourself?

You could try it and then give us all a review on how well it worked, whether it's worth it, etc. Perhaps there's a referral code you could use to earn some money by recruiting us (if you like the site of course.)

Almost a 100% chance that the OP is just spreading the word about the service; it's a form of advertising that is actually pretty common. Lay out some key features of the service, pretend to be a bit hesitant, and presto! An advertisement.

So... what to begin with?

14264 happy clients seems like an awful lot of people... especially for a domain that was created less than 2 week ago.. Also note that the domain is WHOIS protected; why hide things if a business shouldn't even have anything to hide in the first place? Also, for their checkout page, looks like they have zero client feedback. I would think at least 1 out of 14264 people would leave a rating.

17 employees? Sounds legit... especially when you can't click on the button that states it and there's no "staff members" page (probably because they didn't want to rip pictures off the internet).

And that's just by a quick glance. I'm sure there are more things to be found by looking closer.

Site free trial looks like cloudminr.io free trial.
Btw do not deposit bitcoins here or download the client ( malware warning )

No, 99.99% of all online mining sites like this is either scam or has suspicious malware or virus on it. Nice try tho bro but don't put that shit in here. You can do better. Wink

As others have replied, this web script is the one used by BTC stealing malware and it has also been used to hack bitcointalk account and any other account you may have, once a rollin.io's mod's account got hacked the same way and was spreading the link in the chatbox.
