I don't care what you do with smartcoin locally, but I definitely would not appreciate it if you branched off to add support for installing it anywhere and changed the donation profiles. I literally have hundreds of hours of my time into this. To be up-front with you (and everybody), smartcoin makes me next to nothing - I've received 4 BTC in donations, 0 BTC from the "pledges" that were made, and about 0.019 BTC (about 2 bit cents) per day via autodonate. Be patient, support will come to move it to an arbitrary directory pretty soon actually, as things are stabilizing out quite a bit.
Fair play

I might just script something so I can add an auto donate feature to linuxcoin, I like the idea

!! It's got nothing else but to do with that the users home folder is generated on the fly as my livecd boot. I would really like to include this in linuxcoin but move it over to /opt rather than have it sit in the home folder.
I will leave a link for now then and ask people to manually install smartcoin.
