Well, in the Open Source world (to which I belong), people decide to publish their code because they love to share it or because the project will benefit from the community effort to review, amend, complete and further develop the code. That's why Open Source code is usually well commented, well formatted and well documented.

I haven't found request for collaboration on CryptoNote Foundation site... What is their goal?

Here (I mean in the code of every cryptocurrency) we have code that deals with peer to peer decentralized communication between nodes, which is also the way botnets work.
The epee library (written by a well known botnet creator) contains code that allows each part of the peer-to-peer communication to issue commands that are executed by the other part.
My concerns regard the possibility for a malicious node to execute harmful (botnet-connected) code on another node.

If I was a botnet creator, I would develop a software platform for creating cryptocurrencies, hide my botnet code inside that software and let others create lots of cryptocurrencies.
The PCs of the miners would then become zombies of my botnet and I could direct my attacks toward any target of my choice by activating the malicious code hidden in the software.

Just my thoughts.
Waht do you think about it?
