Re: [ANN][CLAM] CLAMs, Proof-Of-Chain, Proof-Of-Working-Stake
If I download the clam client how to I determine that it is not malware? I don't want to turn on a alien keylogger.
After 156 pages of posts about CLAMs, I think if it were malware someone would have figured it out. Just make sure you download the client from the OPThe vote of confidence is appreciated
As you suggested, the code has likely now been vetted by many people.
Of course, you can always review the code yourself - if you are capable of doing so.
But how do I know that code that has been vetted is what was compiled? There is no checksum delivered with the binary. Do I need to compile it myself?
I didn't post the gitian build hashes when I built it as no one ever asks for them and no one other then me and allejuppa have ever actually compiled the client through gitian to compare hashes (they matched btw).
I am more then happy to provide them, and if you use gitian to build the build hashes will match and it will build deterministically right from the git repo. I'll recompile today and post the hashes for you.
