Bot net joins pool.

We aren't talking about creating a new network of zombie machines here, we are talking about people who can rent an existing botnet/use one they operate themselves.
Depending on the individual download speed of each machine, we're looking at a matter of minutes before that machine is mining away.
So how are they going to get the bots mining? Where will they get the code to mine from? You are assuming the devs release the code immediately on git. If they don't do you honestly think they can reverse engineer the code from an exe that quick?
Is this guy trolling us? Another CPU only supporter, I assume.
I have plenty of gpu's but I like the idea of this coin being cpu only. Anyway waiting for the answer to my question. Maxcoin uses a modded sha-3 algorithm so waiting for you to tell me how the bot controllers are going to get hold of the code so quickly and get on their networks in minutes.
You really don't know how botnets work do you? Imagine an IRC channel, with hundreds of zombies listening for your trigger command to execute. It will take the botnet as long as it takes a solo miner to start mining away.
