If I understand this correctly, he just provides the software so you can turn your existing botnet in to a bitcoin farm. Thats probably not even illegal.
Maybe the software he is selling is infecting the purchasers computer for his own botnet....

I highly doubt that is related to the mystery miner farm simply looking at the installation procedure which is more than likely just some script that you must manually run on slave machine and not something that can infect a user remotely.
Well the admincode posting thread title says it is a bitcoin botnet miner. The guy has a support email address at the domain http://ixam-hosting.com/ and another Skype at "ixam4131" Reposting from the noob forum, just in case anyone still have doubts that we are dealing with a botnet:

There's a mystery miner than has something like 20% of the network, there's some suspicion that it's a new botnet that uses GPUs.
Well this fellow has been advertising exactly that:

I haven't seen any mention of this in the main thread, and the posts of the botnet seller are relatively recent (middle of march), which I believe coincides roughly with the new suspected botnet (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Some people in the thread have already reported it to virus scanning software companies, but, again, I don't think anyone has posted or notified them about this "iMiner".

One botnet down, http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/press/2012/mar12/03-25CybercrimePR.mspx?rss_fdn=Press%20Releases
Probably not the one mining bitcoins, but interesting to know it was over 13 milion infections.

Eligius has been spitting out a lot more 1 transaction blocks than the "mystery miner" lately. I noticed they have some astounding luck ratio for the last 36 hrs or so, too..
sadly, i've moved off from eclipsemc for the time being, such luck curves lie on the far edge of 'reasonable' probability

So you think a 339 GH/s pool has found 22 blocks so far today, most of them being 1 transaction blocks? And the Eligius blocks that have transactions look like normal Eligius payouts while the Eligius blocks with 1 transaction go to one address.
Or do you think that maybe there is a problem with the reporting of the blocks?
I vote for option two. Especially considering this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.812711
shrug?
does it matter?
i will say that i was mining on there when at least one block was solved, and i received a payment for it
maybe it wasnt one of the 1 blocks

Feeble try to overturn BIP 16?
I kid, I kid.
Does anyone know if the mystery miner has spent a single bitcoin he mined?
I should probably update this, but I made "coin age" a while back:
(more info here: https://bitcoin.org.uk/forums/topic/41-old-coins-do-not-move-much)
See that peak 2011/9? Assumption: this is the mysteryminers money. Answer: He didn't spend it before late Summer 2011.
the assumption could well be false, though, especially taken into consideration the fact that this graph considers all transactions, not just generating transactions, maybe I should filter those only.
Eligius has been spitting out a lot more 1 transaction blocks than the "mystery miner" lately. I noticed they have some astounding luck ratio for the last 36 hrs or so, too..
those 2 things are directly connected:
"luck" manifests itself in finding a quick block. If you make a quick block, it can easily contain only 1 transaction, because the tx buffers have just been flushed.
"spitting out more 1-tx-blocks" and "having luck" are related in the sense that the latter is on of the possible causes for the former.

All. But almost certainly, all 1TX blocks over that period belong to the mystery miner, they all have the same "bits" for 10 or more blocks, not a single exception. BTW, that actually applies to all 1TX blocks since the beginning of the year. If other pools or miners produce 1TX blocks on rare occasions, I havent seen it this year.
What do you mean with the same "bits" ?If you mean the bits part described in the block header (see protocol specification in the bitcoin wiki) it is just the difficulty that is the same for 2016 blocks on a row.
Earlier I pointed out a method for identifying the MM blocks. They have a consistent and unique coinbase format.

Yeah, just read 2 posts below the one you are quoting

some simple stats: "1-tx-blocks per day"
Any chance you can provide me with a csv or something to subtract your (1tx) blocks ?
If you cant give me a csv, can you give me a ballpark estimate of how many 1tx blocks you mine per day or week?
I don't have such stats available, but hashes of ALL my blocks are published on my site.If you cant give me a csv, can you give me a ballpark estimate of how many 1tx blocks you mine per day or week?
You can use the link mentioned above to find out my blocks since 11.03.2012, that won't require you to download my stats.
Just find your block numbers in this table and remove them if they are marked as Deepbit's
why not just exclude blocks that were found within 15 seconds, this should eliminate most of deepbits 1-tx-blocks, no?
