The catch is - we're closed source, at least for now. We feel that earning people's trust is about more than
just dumping the source code. Our source tree also has a lot of work in progress on cool features that we
would like to be the first client to support. Once we're ready to come out of beta, we'll re-evaluate this
decision. I am well aware of how well this will go down around here and I preemptively support your calls
for my head on a spike.
Nothing against that, your choice, your program. I am curious if you have some credentials on projects you have worked on/been a part of, web sites, anything, that would make me want to put an executable file form you on my computer. Good luck btw, I know security is of course priority one, but if people want things to expand, they have to think of the UI too.
I am a C++ developer and have worked in the industry for 10 years, though I've been programming for another decade prior to that. This is my first startup and I have only limited web development experience (as evidenced by our website). Since most of my prior work was also public facing, I'm going to plead Satoshi on that to protect myself and my colleagues until I have a long and expensive talk with a lawyer.
