Hey, I have set up the Peepcoin QT wallet today and successfully bootstrapped it. My virus scanner however does not like it at all, gives 21 hits out of 61 on Virus Total, this is the mac wallet by the way. Wallet was downloaded via the DAPS site, anyone else experienced this?

Most antivirus programs will detect the mining code (Bitcoin's "setgenerate" command inside the QT wallet code, which peepcoin does not utilize) as those, as well as the IRC call. It's pretty normal false positives. It's the wallet I'm currently running, if that gives any assurances.

Signaled as 1.0.2, that's what it says on your info page, correct?

I second this. It would make sense though for DAPS to remove the mining code for their wallet before launch if it isn't being used to avoid this false positive (and have less code to secure and maintain).
