I got this offer today in email.  It's a program that mines for bitcoins and steals your bitcoins.  They probably got my email address from the MtGox breach.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

I've gotten a few of these emails. All from this coin miner site. Luckily Google flags them as spam Cheesy I'd assume any email randomly coming from someone about bitcoin is a scam.

I did not get it, but I haven't checked my junk folder in at least a week, so it might be in there.

Wasn't this site/software exposed already? Or are they coming so fast and furious now that I am getting them confused?

I got that same spam.

I sent an e-mail to the spammer recommending he open source it, and get rid of the sammy box logo.
otherwise I wouldn't touch it with a 10' cat5e (pole)

They are probably setting up new sites all the time Sad
