I also concerned about opening ports on my router. Think about it what better place than in a alt-coin forum to get people to make themselves vulnerable to hacking attacks when many of them are probably holding Bitcoin on their computers? You got a ton of investors interested in this coin many of them I am sure have a lot of Bitcoins on their computers, and your telling them to open ports. So as the other posters  just told me, why don't you try it yourself, comment makes me insanely paranoid. I've heard of worse happening.

That is why I'm suggesting it would ease a lot of minds to actually see some proof other than reassurances. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but that's me.
