Synechist and XC team, please, for the love of god, do not push any more releases without a PGP key signing off on them from atcsecure, as well as corresponding checksums. This is a community of generally tech-savvy individuals, and that kind of release scheme is never going to pass muster for people really into the technology.
Who thought it was a good idea to push an executable file for the big launch, on an obscure IP address? (well, obscure to anyone randomly looking -- although it appears to be the old web server for xc official)

Agreed. This was an exceptional circumstance; Dan hadn't slept in about 3 days and we just wanted to prove that trustless mixing is real.
The current release will very soon be replaced by an update. Checksums and PGP are no problem in future.
I understand the crunch-time circumstances, and my curiosity is certainly piqued by what Dan and you all are working on here. I wish you all well, and hope you take the PGP/checksum request to heart, as it will instill quite a bit more confidence in downloading the wallet client for more technically-oriented users.

A little patience - we have an awesome team that do take our concerns to heart and value our constructive feedback.Agreed some things don't happen as we expect but what the team has achieved in such a short time is phenomenal.
I'd like to thank TEKA, DAN, SYNECHIST for all their hard work and effort - staying up nearly 24 hours is no small feat.
