Hi,

Thanks for the cross post, I am maintaining the bitcointalkthread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=431546.0 for 'official' posts on bitcointalk.
This project started as a Primecoin miner, so a majority of the activity is on their forum.
This is actually version 1.4 [UPD], i have now released 1.4.1 that adds Quark, and generic SCRYPT and SHA256D CPU mining support as well as primewatch.sh by request.

Regarding the binary distribution of miners -- i totally agree. I am asking you to trust me, and for this trust I am binding myself to the following contract:
https://raw.github.com/MiWCryptoCurrencyMinerAgent/MA-DebianLiveConf/master/StatementAndSocialContractv1.txt.asc

In exchange, I am applying strong cryptography -- binary signing, so you know that the binaries originated from me.
It is impossible for someone to fraudulently insert a trojanised or skimming miner binary and have the signature match.
I also sign the ISO and the release URLS so nobody can modify the URL postings or the ISO on the cloud file hosting provider.

You are also most welcome to clone the repo and audit all my configs and scripts, and the miner binaries.
DHCP automining also performs a signature check before building the supervisor script, which should prevent a malicious party from injecting harmful auto execute commands.
I also do some input sanitization to prevent arbitrary execution.

This SHOULD be the new standard in binary releases - strong cryptographic attribution, as well as a social contract with the cryptocurrency community that you are not trying to rip them off.
Thanks,
MiW
