So 'OpenSource' coin is only available as a windows binary, or a zip file on google docs... you should seriously chuck this up on a git repo or similar. For sake of the name alone!

As it much less accessable without a source repo, (simple 'git clone ' VS... open web browser just to click through google docs script/gui to fund link to actual zip file download, browse to download dir, extract archive to source dir.
Zip likely destroyed file permissions/lastmodified , cant check recent changes/edits to the filess i guess, no modifydate on files and no versioning repo.

And if i find bug in code then theres no way for me submit patch without having to post code blocks on forum, too hard.
Etc etc.

Just pointing out that 'OpenSource' Coin is a lot less open (its barely open at all) than any of the projects its code is forked from are. Would be better named potato coin, now that would be a good coin for sure!

The worse crime here is that my simple shell script  to do all that for (clone, build, copy bin, copy config template, altcoin all setup and ready to go) wont work without source repo, and i cant be bothered myself.
My time is much better spent trolling the forum thread instead!


Sorry, rant over.
