Why would I trust you or NotATether with the source code? Because maybe if you compile it people will be more receptive because you have x number of merit? Nah. Who's to say you wouldn't show it or give it to someone? Or who says you won't take the code and tweak it for your own benefit?

I never said such a thing and that is not what open source means.

Being open source means anyone can see the code and compile it for themselves if they choose to. Otherwise trusting X over Y with an already complied binary is the same problem all over again no matter who X and Y are or how much merit they have!
For example do you think I run Electrum because I trust Thomas. V.? Absolutely not. I use it because I can see every single line of code and can compile it myself for my own use.

Bottom line is that there was a big elephant in the room that needed to be addressed and I would have probably never said anything if the .exe was uploaded anywhere else like mediafire instead of github.

I was addressing you and NF, in the same post; he mentioned "giving more credibility" if x y and z compiled it.

I have no issues hanging it anywhere as there is no malicious code in it. I do not know about mediafire, can you elaborate on the differences vs github?
