I don't agree - it looks completely fake and dangerous (or suspicious at the least...)

It is full of amateurish statements and web design elements - you can tell for certain that it is a scam website. Even in the footer, all the "Community" links just lead to Ethereum social media accounts. There is no info about who is behind the site, no contact - nothing. As well, all the download links lead to some shady hosting website and the downloads are "protected" with a password.

There is nothing real, genuine and authentic about this fake, scam, most likely malware-ridden site. We must find a way to take it down IMMEDIATELY.

well, "I" never said it was safe, and now know better, others here had looked at it and thought it was.

And yeah, it does reek, so whatever can be done should be. Maybe contact the .org ppl and tell them?

This has already been discussed.
It always has correct checksums of files.
But it's better to download from the first post because this is a fan site with referrals and instructions, not a phoenix.
It is harmless, but it does give good starting instructions.
But I advise you to download only from the source.

Also, this site has been around for a while, i dont see anything wrong with it, security certificates look ok and are valid for a year which is a good sign, stop spreading fake news before doing ur research, they're using microsoft onedrive to upload the files. Show some proof of

It's honestly shocking (and highly alarming) that some of you are defending such random "fan" websites, while completely ignoring the premise of crypto where everything must be verified and validated. I bet that the Official PhoenixMiner developer will not be happy with the website in question, and has already made the following recommendation to all of us here:

Please, please, do not download anything PhoenixMIner-releated from posts that are not from our account! And always compare the checksums - it is quite easy to do and can spare you a lot of trouble. Additional good security practice is to always keep your private keys encrypted, and not on the same machine from which you are making the transactions.

Since we cannot verify the authenticity and integrity of the phoenixminer.org website - how can you guys possibly be defending it and making justifications for its existence? On Bitcoin-oriented message boards of all places?? *sigh*... Give your heads a shake. You are forgetting the whole reason why you are here in the first place...
