So this project is about stopping malware?

Nope, it is about stopping fools to have money.

Question no 1: What do you guys gonna do about polymorphic malware? Considering the core of MalwareChain concept (as I have understood it from WP) is about storing hashes of suspicious files on blockchain. I mean, any teenager or noob can and likely will take that extra step if writing malware (dead simple example - picture Windows EXE that updates own resources using Win32 API - so easy to write, and the EXE/DLL can change it's own hash every launch or every minute or whatever). And that's where heuristics have to kick in, system call analysis etc., so I'd be interested in how's that going to be addressed in your project ...

What? polymorphic malware? Too hard. Shut up and take my money!
The main question: why antivirus must have blockchain database of hashes at all and why it's better that current solutions Smiley Lol.

Question no 2: How would you prevent bad actor (eg. me) from running several Discovery nodes, and submitting false matches to your antivirus database, eg. hashes of wallets of competitor's coins or even your own wallet/client, some common Windows DLL etc.? How are the inputs going to be validated, if the DB is supposed to be updated real-time, according to your WP.

Run away before it will be possible to you and me to start discovery nodes for 2 BTC each to add such hashes.
