Better than downloading from an unknown source... Cheesy

I'm surprised no one got burned like this yet. It goes a long way showing how good willed this community is. But it's still goddamn suicide. I may just build those and publish them on my release page to put an end to the hemorrhage.

Nobody got burned probably because Armory's userbase is smaller? And maybe more knowledgeable, or at least more curious. Anyways, I agree, I think there are still many good willed people around here, we haven't really seen any "stolen coins" issue due to bad binaries like the ones that happen on the Electrum sub-forum, as an example.

Building several versions and putting them up to download is a bit like a "double sided knife", you're avoiding possible damages by downloading binaries from untrusted sources, without verifying its authenticity, but you're also making people delay temporarily (or possibly permanently) updating to current, up to date versions with bug fixes, new functionality and stability improvements.
