Since it obviously still happens, once again, the warning:

DO NOT OPEN ANY LINKS FROM THE CHAT / TROLLBOX!

I can hardly believe that I really have to say it.

More specifically, the links to "Cloudminer.biz".

The "client" that can be downloaded from this site is demonstrably a Trojan.

And yes, I'm sure. VirusTotal, and similar tools do not recognize it.
Your anti-virus program does not protect you against it.

This Trojan is undetected! (yet)

This nasty little beast, digs deep into your system, occupy various system processes (and your browser)
and transmits sensitive data (eg your login information to Scrypt.cc ..) to its creator.

I actually thought common sense would be enough.
But if you shall download a "client" to get free Hashrate (already the 'free' is suspect),
every small Alarm lamp in your brain should suddenly begin frantically blinking.


Be careful people!


Edit:
small correction.
An exception, of course, the two excellent projects sccstats.com and msgrelay.com Wink


As a Linux Mint/Ubuntu user, I am not worried about this at all, lol.
