It's a scam, not a miner. Not that it can't be both, ie, an attempt to get you to pay money for a miner that you could have downloaded for free. But it's probably just a scam.

yep if the exact same wording is wrote on many different websites, then its just like those Nigerian bank emails you receive lol

here is the full paragraph
Quote
So I recently purchased this amazing little program which gives you a slow but steady trickle of bitcoins. Just download the file and open it. It doesn’t get simpler.  (Make sure you have the latest .net framework installed for this to work)

though it could be advertising a miner. the way it is worded seems to be an attempt to not explain too much detail, where as anyone who actually uses bitcoin would understand the detail to not need it simplified in a concealed way and treated like an automated faucet program, miner or whatever it is trying to advertise.

either way the destination website (coinbit) has removed its videos and the link is removed so it seems the scam is already averted.
