Noticed some shifty stuff after installing this wallet.

If you have jLherYu.vbs on your computer, it probably came from here, or geckocoin or another scam project these guys are with. It is a trojan!

Pump&Dump! No future in this project.

Are you able to show in the source code where the virus is? There is no dev fee in this project, the source code seems okay,

From what I understand there was a mining pool that operated a shared masternode service and there was a mistake somehow and lost user funds. Around this same time geckocoin was identified as having a virus payload, (which only affected windows systems.)

VKAX has been forked to a new repo and the windows wallet has been built using github actions. I am not a security expert but I feel pretty confident if there was a virus it was not distributed through the source code, something had to have been added in or someone made a security mistake to have their system compromised. Running what I suspect a shared masternode service on a windows machine using binaries available for download that you did not build yourself was probably not a great start.

I have a belief that a coin is not the coins but the code, and VKAX is based on dash and bitcoin and is secured using asic resistant cpu mining. The loss of the shared masternode service, abandonment by the origonal dev and accusations of virus did not make VKAX a great start, but the code still works and can be changed. It provides an opportunity for those interested in learning about masternodes and dash to get started without spending thousands of dollars before they know what they are doing.

as of now this project still has interest. I am attempt to provide development but realistically for severe updates we need more participants. There are tests I want to change (like some fixes ive identified) and this could be a great way for people to play around with code without feeling like they have to be apart of a severe project which is always trying to pump.
