Dodgy as well. They claim that " Both the client software and server software are open source and can be reviewed by anyone  "  but the documentation page is empty: https: //uminer.net/documentation/ ; not to mention " The fastest and most profitable miner ever, with at LEAST 0.0002 BTC profit / hour. "

Wouldn't touch it with a 7" pole  Roll Eyes

The website says 49560 Total Downloads and 11300 Mining Right Now, we all know this is a big lie, stats can be manipulated and if it's to good to be true chances are the risk is to high.
Obviously they are targeting newbies, there's still a lot of newbies that believe that Bitcoin can be mine in your computer
and when they say

Our goal is to simplify mining like it has never been done before. Everyone in the world should be able to use their PC's raw processing power to earn money, and it should be simple, profitable and secure. That is our goal.
You have something to worry about, people should be educated why mining on your own on Bitcoin will get you nowhere.

You would be amazed to find out how little newbies know about blockchain and crypto,
so I am not surprised if some of them will try to download this scam trojan miner,
but statistic is 100% FAKE

PS
They are still sending fake emails to people
