This is starting to suck really hard.

Two big errors.

1) Releasing binary only - Booo.... MAN we need to review the source!
2) No linux binary?  - Booo.... If so, then that would essentially be a windows premine.

I hope you reconsider and do the right thing.

xibeijan is right !
if for some reason you dont want to release sources, at least build linux sources - i can help with that


yes, i am looking for someone trustworthy to compile for linux.

if no one is found,  i want to wait a week before releasing the sources, or atleast long enough for the network to be secured. i'm really worried about the source falling into the wrong hands. it's ok if i have to delay the release a few days while you figure out how to compile it. you have a high activity count, but i can't base my trust of you solely on that. if you could perhaps get a mod or highly respected/trusted member to vouch for you, i would feel alot better about sending you the sources.

also, while we are on the subject, could you possibly crosscompile for mac, and if not, is their anyone else here who can/would be willing?

How is anyone to trust your software without releasing the source code?

Have you something to hide?

I hear what your saying, but there is nothing malicious in the code.  Kimoto didn't release the MEC sources, which is a smart move. prevents network from being vulnerable early on. if no one has the sources they can't alter the code and destroy it, and i like that.

You don't sound confident in the code.  Maybe the source will never be released.  How can we know?

If you are aware of security issues with the code, then you should not release it.

How about releasing the source ahead of time (without the genesis block), say 1 hour, for review?  Then folks can review the code and point out any bugs or security issues before it goes live.

I don't know about other users, but I'm not running any binaries (even Linux) unless I can review the code for trojans, viruses, etc.
